Serving NS is no problem given that :-
1)its stayout, i am sure it will just be like attendin school, and
the whole idea of NS sucks may lessen...NSFs might not feel as
miserable as they are now...
2) stayout makes SAF save a lot of money which could potentially be
used to
to address other problems like declining birth rate like incentives
ect.. I mean u need soldiers to be born to serve the nation..If u
cant address that fundamental issue, then u are getting
nowhere
3)if that army culture of tekan is limited only to training and not
at other times...If everyone has a job scope laid down black and
white to do and not a regular pushing his job to pathetic NSFs by
just exercising his rank authority and a few other issues as well
which gave rise to that "NS sucks" syndrome
4) early education in schools to teach good values to younger
generation to diffenriate between right and wrong, be humble and
forgiving and to treat your fellow humans well in order to be
treated well....IMO our singapore education system does not really
do that...it place emphasis on selfishness like cultivating a paper
chase culture by differentiating school standards ect.this forces
students to be more competitive and in turn more cunning....Apart
from creativit,Moral values might take a backseat...
5)have u wondered why foreigners are more creative, cause they are
not bred in a ironfist culture...They had the time to be more
creative when in school and ponder about things..The idea here is
to cultivate citizens whoo are "thinking" rather than
"roboting"..many creative people like great poets, scientists were
from other countries..But have Singapore produced any which u could
identify with other than a few exceptions..Everyone here seems to
be bred in that pre-conceived idea _born, study get degree. work
governemnt stable job which is fine but not getting involved with
sociopolitics is a disadvantage...
