I don't see how that gives us food for thought. PRs who go thru
NS probably see it as an improvement to be a citizen here. And the
key point here is that, they get to choose.
Ultimately it all boils down to a matter of choice. The only gripe
which I think most Singaporeans have is that, we don't get to
choose. It's almost as if Singaporeans are being born into
indentureship. And thankfully, most singaporeans have the common
sense to see that, which, IMO, is why the label 'quitter' never
really stuck on.
I for one, can understand if a fellow singaporean sees NS as a
waste of 2 years. In fact, one would wonder why we don't have the
foreign legion route to a Singapore PR/citizenship instead. So yah,
there's no food on the table for thought here, I think.
