The penalty for Exit Permit offences of National Service
(NS)-liable males aged 13 years old and 16.5 years old is a fine
not exceeding $2,000, with no custodial sentences. They will
however be subjected to harsher penalties should they continue to
breach the Enlistment Act after age 16.5.
NS-liable males above 16.5 years old who travel and remain
overseas without applying for an Exit Permit would have committed
an offence under the Enlistment Act. They will be liable on
conviction to a fine not exceeding $10,000 or imprisonment for a
term not exceeding three years or to both.
Not complying with any NS Notices or Reporting Orders is an
offence under the Enlistment Act. Offenders shall be liable on
conviction to a fine not exceeding $10,000, or to imprisonment for
a term not exceeding three years or to both.
Examples of NS Notices include Notice for Registration, Notice
for Pre-Enlistment Documentation and Medical Screening. Examples of
Reporting Orders include medical appointments and Vocational
Assessment.
All NS defaulters shall be liable on conviction to a fine not
exceeding $10,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three
years or to both. NS defaulters below age 40 will still have to
serve NS, and will be recommended for a lighter sentence as
compared to those who have evaded NS entirely.
