and if U ever break bond...U better have the money to pay back...

is it different for different units?

like for eg, ndu.

must report or wadever?

superlibra SG

no one will question who or what you spend ur money on la... as long as u dont use the money on illegal activities that MSD can trace to .. e.g. wire ur monthly allowance to MSK or osama...

other than that, no one will care.. except.. maybe ur parents...? haha..

ChoCoChips SG

well, this fren of mine claims ndu will check. =\

i'll take it as he's shitting me ?

superlibra SG

NDU i'm not too sure if they will.. Got to ask the insiders for that.. But.. From what i assess it to be, most probably jus your superiors try to be KPO and ask "so how you spend your monthly allowance? quite rich ah, going to buy a car anot?" etc etc... most probably no formal questioning...

I cant be sure...but I doubt so.

NDU...is not that classified a unit.

kopiosatu SG

its your money.

check for what?

caleb_chiang SG

You mean study ah?

After you sign, they give you a lump sum, give you monthly salary when you are still schooling and after you complete your bond, another lump sum... That was what was happening in the past... dunno about now...

So, what you waiting for? Go sign on, sell your body and report back.

y u want to get buried before u die..?

ChoCoChips SG

no, not me.

my friend.

he's using the check $$ thingy as an excuse to not return me $$.

purpledragon84 SG

den he bluffing u lo.. they anyhow spend oso wat.. u take 5k gif ur parents MSD or what sai oso cannot say anything what rite? so u ask ur fren return ur money and tell MSD that he gif his parents the money and they lost the money in 4d.. simple..

eac SG

ur fren is uttering bullshit lah...

its like ur own salary... u use all give girlfriend... at most parents scold... not mindef...

u better chase ur money or else gone case liao...

to lend pple money, u must have the mentality that this money is gone... u the creditor... chasing after ur own money still need to beg for its return... thats y 'talk money hurt friendship'...

my uncle said.... everytime he open a cheque to someone, he loses this 'friend'....
