You really need to stop spouting your shit knowledge about SAF scholarships. I have already corrected you once in this thread, and now I have to do it again. Stop spreading misinformation, its making you look like an asshole.
1) NS is never extended, regardless of the number of years of the bond. Once they disrupt from their NS to carry out their schooling under the scholarship, they never have to return to serve NS. When they set foot in Singapore again, after getting their undergraduate degree, they are already full fledged LTA, and regular sign on officers.
2) While they are in uni under the Scholarship, they are already promoted to 2Lt and then LTA, and get paid like regular SAF officers of the same rank. They do not get paid the NS allowance for NSmen 2Lt and LTA rank. Coupled with the money the get for schooling and board and lodging and flight home, you cannot even remotely say this is NS level compensation.
3) Once they return to singapore after graduating, they are posted out to their units as scholar officers. The rank of LTA and later Capt follows them. At no time do they suffer the pay, pain and sweat and tears of an NSmen. They are untouchables because no unit commander wants to piss off an SAF scholar for fear that the fucker will outrank him one day if he turns into a high flyer. I have seen SAF scholars disrupt midway thru School of Armour, and come back full fledge LTA regular from an Aussie Uni. They are fucked up out in the field because they never spend time with the armour regiments as a platoon commander, and have no idea what they are doing. I have so many complains from senior officers in the SIRs about these people being clueless.
4) Once they come back, the bond starts for the next 6 years. During this time, they are getting the full pay of a SAF regular. By the time the 6th year rolls along, they will get a Major rank if they are any decent. If not, then Capt rank. The promising ones are encouraged to stay in the SAF and sign another contract. Their career path is shown to them, which means to say they will attain Lt Col or full bird Col rank by the end of the second contract. By the end of the 3rd contract, they would have already been identified for political office or stat board position and these are the fuckers who will be General rank. Kee Chiu followed this path.
5) Hence all SAF scholars have never completed their 2-2.5 years of NS like other males. After their disruption, at no time do they receive NS pay or come back to complete their 2 years as NSmen. So, stop your bullshitting.
