If NS in singapore is to be reduced further, it will be a day of mourning.

I believe NS helps to build humble and gracious singapore males and should be extended as much as our beloved leaders deem fit.

Why so?

As a NS male, you serve NS for a 1% peanuts pay. Even the Bangladeshi workers look up to you as you are willing to toll for the nation at a wage less then them when they are tolling for their personal gains.

You spent 2 years of serving NS despite knowing that fresh graduated males of foreign nationalities who do not need to serve NS, can easy get employment passes and compete with you for jobs. Better still, you also know that they pay a similar amount of tax as you, is younger than you by 2 years and get the same starting pay as you! You humbly and graciously did not ask for more pay despite having 2 years of NS experience!

Last but not least, you graciously surrender your girlfriends to the employment pass holders or others when you serve NS.

Only the most humble males of this Earth (i.e. singapore males) will be so noble to accept such treatments!

Realistic-Nonsense SG

u also not serving right....

Cindyfeh SG

I am practising to be a gracious and humble person. Therefore, I do not wish to compete with singapore males for the prestigious NS positions. I am not worthy of these highly-regarded NS positions.

kAdEn SG

If you are not supporting NS. The least you could do is not to be cynical about it.

NuLife SG

hey camaron, why dun u try form a new party?

in japan, theres a new fresh grad who got elected
and was so happy he got to drive a Beamer.

i suggest young people to form a new party,
im sure many people wil vote for young bloods as long as they are not PAP.

infact, i believe any handsome young men who try that
will win votes from aunties, young women, gays,
add to that some normal intelligent people with guts,
im sure can win PAP. (ok the gay part is a joke)
(but u gotta minus those in civil services too)

Cindyfeh SG

Cynical about it?

It is the holy grail for all singapore youth where everyone of them yearn to partake in.

I wouldn't dare to desecrate the prestigious Ns system.

NuLife SG

dun u get it???
how do u think they get so many cheap labors to
perform and run the national day and cheer for them?!?!

NuLife SG

Let me tell u the truth.
Often, those regular servicement are paid hell lot for the job ok.
They do not face retenchment or skills issues.
Its an iron rice bowl job.
And very often it those who cannot survive in the commercial
world that sign on ok???

Moreover, at the end of their contract, the $$$ (wat they call it??)
they get is hell lot ok.

Mr Fugue SG

you managed to read within the lines........ Laughing

the.raven SG

in Soviet Singapore, leaders dont serve NS, NS serves leaders.

supafatty SG

Frankly, I don’t really give two shyts about who says what and what says who so long as NS is abolished, and as such, I don’t have to serve.

Hippo69 SG

Sometimes, I think those who hated NS are mainly those who have not been there. Look at those who have been through it, when they meet up, they always talked about the funny things that happened during then. Laugh at those silly antics that was then bloody hardship and full of anger...

Oh well, I do agree we lose out on NS where I have a friend who is Malaysian and Singapore PR. 1 year younger. Came to SG to studied for 3 years in Polytechnic. Singapore government offered SPR provided he worked for a SG company for a min of 2 years (i think). Proclaimed he is Singaporean, had a Singaporean girlfriend.

While his true blue Singaporeans peers are running SOCs, he is happily working with a steady income and even overseas posting. Now he is a Regional Sales Manager at a tender age for a German company. I think most of his peers are still at Assistant Engineers position. I rememeber him saying, Singapore goverment GIVE him the SPR, not that he wanted it or what. Oh man!

Now with his SPR status, he is looking to buy a flat in SG with his new Indonesian GF, well he has since dumped his Singaporean GF. Sighz.. Am I jealous? You bet I am! But I guess there is no end comparing and complaining, we have to strive out our own career right?

So does NS helps or not? I dont know. But I do know I am a few thousands SGD behind this chap in terms of monthly income. Thats the real fact.

vito_corleone SG

ironically they're the reason why we serve ns. Laughing
