I finally understood the importance of NS....I apppreciate it
very much. Singapore is surrounded by nations whose culture are
very much different from that of singapore (Think of Malay,
Chinese, Indian...etc). And most of this particular group of people
(I do not want to name them out of respect for those who, lived and
served this country here) hated us with all their guts....just
think of it....if war breaks out and these group of people triumph,
I won't not dare to imagine what will happen to our people. They
will have not understood geneva laws or whatsoever, they will not
hesistate to do the unthinkable. I am sure they will not hesistate
to kill as many of our people as possible. When I went on to serve
NS, I will know what I did was for my family, my friends and
existence of our people, not just our country,we must not drop our
weapons in face of the enemy, we have nowhere to flee (Having
Surrounded on a piece of island) you drop ur gun ur family will
die, u will die nonetheless, no more less complicated than those
genocides commited out of hatred for races, social status....
around the world. NS is just not only about defending our country,
it's about your own family, friends, wifes, spouses. Thank you
that's all I have to say. Pax Vobiscvm
