a fair NS

last SG · 2004-04-15T18:02:53+00:00

i might be 'da nan ren' but i think that those women who didn't serve in the uniformed groups didn't contribute anything to the security of the nation..........

keymaster SG

One thing i like about Malaysia's NS is that females are involved. It is FAIR ! a country belongs to all citizens living in it.. morever in small population like ours, we should make full use of every able human.

Guys ! am i right ?

ditzy SG

Their NS is summer camp leh. Cannot compare.

the Bear SG

it ain’t a military thing they have there..

edLow SG

more of a long OBS camp training... probably with add-in National education + weapon handling (wanna if they do get to learn)?

oldbreadstinks SG

obs? oldbreadstinks? Laughing

i think we should include girls in ns, but maybe not in the army

tha_schizophrenic SG

girls in ns is fine with me. but some girls are not able to handle it. they are so dainty and tink that the mud and soil can corrode their dewy skin away. so princessy, so urgh.

Ayukat SG

Erm, I have that problem too and I am a male. My skins is very sensitive.

wuming78 SG

ns does not haf to mean military service.

ns can take the form of nursing, paramedical, etc services.

its a political move. i guess right now the government dont c a need to take tt risk of alienating an even larger portion of the populace for tt.

Sicko SG

How I wish females will be in the military NS too.
Problem is most of them are too pampered. Cannot take this, cannot do that.
The 'gahmen' says it will ruin the country's wealth.. Aiyoh.. Then like this hor, might as well remove guys from NS too. Then Singapore very rich arh!.. Got war just hire 'foreign talents' can liao!

Guys study liao, go NS, come out, the mind already rusty.
Girls just jump straight to the coporate world.
Unfair arh.. And the NS salary so little. Maybe train them to be in healthcare, got medics in war better.

marlboro SG

when is the govt ever fair... Neutral

SmallPanda SG

So you are admitting that NS is considered by many to be a liability rather than a duty?

www SG

hahahaa. nah. as fair as i think it is, it will not come true.

at least things are gotta stay this way for the near future.

Ogbunwezeh SG

NS sux… Juz like serving prison… Counting down the day where u can release from the misery… juz like prisoner

Agapae SG

you choose the way ns turns out to be for you.. that's life.. it's about choices.. if you think it's a misery, then it'll be a self-fulfilling prophecy..

Ogbunwezeh SG

But we have to face the fact mah, to me i can't find any fun part of NS. If given ORD on the spot in exchange for my few years of my life i dun mind... I have been telling myself to give myself more time maybe i'll change the perception of NS but afterall it still as sux as before... hmmm even worse i must say.

ditzy SG

Considered a soldier after 3months BMT? Thats barely the basics learnt there. Training to be a soldier is a neverending on-going process. I learnt most things when i was in unit, train to be soldier for the concrete jungle.

Where got 3 years NS? Still a myth thats going around. Unless u serve 6months in DB.

wuming78 SG

yes. i think it can be agreed that most singaporeans understand the importance of ns and noes its necessary. however tt does not mean everyone loves it.

in any case the term used by the authorities for NS is - "National Service LIABILITY".

however being a liability does not preclude it from being a duty. i am liable to serve ns. at the same time i take it as a duty as a citizen of this country.

alpha_boy SG

NS just sux big time….wasting 2 and a half yrs for some bloody farking military training…fark ns…..

CX SG

haha... several thousand out of the hundreds of thousand teens that could have been conscripted and u call it fair???

they made it clear from the start that the participants were selected through balloting...

lucky draw where got fair one?

Ayukat SG

HooHoo! So many supporters over here! Laughing
