lets say he enlist now and then ORD 2 years later, wat can he do
with a O level cert? nothing. so, he'll have to go to ITE or
private institutions to get a cert, albeit a small one, or redo O,
go into poly and 3 years later, go uni.
so, time is wasted because he didnt study harder in the past, and
not wasted because of NS. like u said, 2 years is 2 years. it is
not a variable, unlike where one goes, be it ITE, JC, Poly, or
Uni.
