NS defaulter just got fined:(

NS is going to be abolished soon.

oxford mushroom SG

When he committed the offence he was a Singapore citizen. If someone murder a man here and then becomes a foreign citizen for the next 30 years, he can still be charged if he returns to Singapore..

Now you have to post a bond if you want to take your son overseas for studies. The stupid thing about the fine is that it is less then what you will lose if you forfeit your bond and not return to Singapore.

av98m SG

Then you better make sure your son becomes famous and rich while overseas. As many have pointed out, different standards apply to different classes of people here. I really feel sorry for all the hokkien peng who are thrown into DB for all sorts of minor offences.

Born in Singapore and resident in the UK since 1978, when he was 12.
Got UK citizenship when he was 24,according to calculations of ST info.

So , if he renounced Sg citizenship arond 1978 and around aged 24
,he was long over due for NS liability.

LinYu SG

To think that those ppl from JW had to go detention for 3 yrs to skip NS. This is a better alternative. Laughing

dragg SG

but they have no special talent.

WiNtEr'SkiLL SG

he is a pig

oxford mushroom SG

He should be deported as a convicted criminal and the Public Prosecutor is negligent in not seeking an appeal at a higher court to press for more severe punishment...

The message is that he is elite, hence, ka ki nan...one of the inner circle

The rest of us Singaporeans who serve our NS faithfully are just whiners..

Ara SG

this is a slap in the face for all of us who did NS.

zenmaster SG

wonder he will get any respect from those that have served 2 or 2.5 yrs in NS and diligently carry out their 13 years of liability? Question

deathscythe99 SG

I thought dual citizenship

Laughing

Well, the thing is, he is foreign talent leh, with lots to contribute to our Arts scene which the government is trying so hard to develop. Do we really want to scare him away with a jail term?

I bet the authorities here have promised him that he won't be jailed before he decided to come back, or else you think he'll come all the way back to face a possible jail term? After all, he is already living a comfortable life in Britain on a Brutish passport.

LinYu SG

and he's coming home as a hero in the art circle.
Mad Mad Mad

ah_tee SG

he came back cos he maybe retiring at 49

and his assets in uk convert to sg is 3times

LazerLordz SG

He come back, gets bit.ched at.He stays there, he doesn't.

He took a gamble to come back.Just live and let live la.What's it with so many Singaporeans being so bitter with a person who managed to walk over the system and made it well.

Seems like the crab in a pot theory is working here, when someone is on the brink of achieving something, the rest who cannot get it, attempt to drag him/her down.Saw that a lot when I was in Jurong Institute..

I seriously despise such atittudes that only foster mediocrity.

dragg SG

this is bullshIt. it has got nothing to do with his success. it is an indisputable fact that he was accorded special treatment because of his status.

LazerLordz SG

Sadly enough, that's the fact of life.That's what makes humans go out and get to the top by all those nasty means..

Sigh.

iveco SG

Like I said before, no point flogging a dead horse. What is already done cannot be undone.

dragg SG

we have to do what we have to do. otherwise when do you get a chance to say “no point flogging a dead horse”

LazerLordz SG

Laughing

dragg SG

chances are he checked before coming back.
