So you mean running a country is only for 30 yrs? I pass e prob
to next gen as like tis housing prob
No doubt it can go with lower property tax, lower HDB new flat
prices
There are some things tat's not even worth to try like how you
question the need of 2 yrs of NS. We can try w/ 1 yr, see who wants
to volunteer to go to OCS..
If no one is willing to volunteer and go back to e old system,
then are you prepared for the faceoff over the u-turn?
Running a country is for the long term, but one must understand
the different growth phases of a country. When you are in the early
development stage you have to save, acquire more capital for
growth, that is if you subscribe to the Solow
Growth Model. 
When you are already a developed nation, why are you saving like
a pauper? 
Seriously, an officer serving 1 more year, what difference would
it have made? He would have gone back to civilian life after
serving that extra 1 year. If reservist is of any use, than serving
1 year and doing more training during reservist is the answer. I
mean it's better than CBL during reservist like most commanders are
doing now. 
I mean seriously it is not possible for Singapore to fight any
long haul wars, that is a fact.
