Anne Fights for NSmen's Rights! Ass Loon For FTrash!

[Hope]

Why not? And all the regulars will have to peg their pay to PRC salary and performance benchmark. White scum should also be judge based on PRC official.

Imagine Premier Wen only got US$100K per annual, how much should Peesai PM get then?

Premierv Wen gets $100k p.a.???,but his wife consumes like a billionaire???

<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->I REFER to last Saturday's letter by Mr Peter Loon Seng Chee, 'Looking for that 'S' factor'.
It is highly unlikely that the Government will grant lifetime free medical care to men doing national service (NS). However, there is another way to make NSmen feel less disadvantaged and less peeved about foreigners and women who do not have to do NS.
During the two years they serve the country, the allowance paid to full-time national servicemen is far below the wages they could earn elsewhere.
Besides this, the time sacrificed and the dangers involved during full-time NS, as well as the subsequent years of reservist training, are surely worth more than what they are currently paid.
Rather than pay them more, why not give each NSman an additional grant equivalent to $10,000 a year, up to a maximum of $40,000, which can be used to fund his studies at any institute of higher learning in Singapore.
For those who are not academically inclined, the money can be used as seed money for them to start their own businesses.
The money can be drawn down over 10 years after NS, but not beyond, and cannot be used if the NSman is employed by others. However, once he starts a business or embarks on a course of study, he can have access to the grant.
This move may turn out to be a win-win situation for all. First, the NSman will feel gratified, which may increase his loyalty to the country. Second, the male population of the country will be better trained as they will have access to higher education, thus making Singapore more competitive in the global workforce. Third, as NSmen bond with one another, ideas may germinate among them for shared business ventures in the future if seed money is available on passing out.
With such a move, NS may become a fertile breeding ground for the entrepreneurs the country badly needs. Not all will be successful, but it will be good if even one in 10 succeeds at a business that provides employment for others.
This money is not a large sum as a working mother earning about $5,000 a month already gets four months of paid maternity leave, or $20,000 per child. On top of this, there is the Baby Bonus.
Dr Anne Chong

At least someone remembered the sacrifices and hopefully some form of thanks will be given to the future NS men. We whom have served are like those from the first/second wave that have fallen or put our bodies on the concertina wire and hopefully the new generation(our sons, etc) that tread on our bodies will get a better life.

Hope you have a long and good life, Dr Anne, you are the first female i know who indeed gave a damn about our men. Most of the women i know still thinks we men "volunteered" and its our job and we wanted to cheong up the hills for fun.

I am NSMan of those category? No...but what abt you? are you a local firstly? and whats your point actually? pple are debating about FT vs Sgreans serving NS...you are sprouting abt warfront when obviously that is non-existence or are you referring to the computer stimulated warfront??? and I think its ridiculous to have this notion that there is the FT category and the Local category which you wanna further sub-divide locals according to vocations and whether certain vocation deserves certain benefits???? its pure and simple that locals served NS and FTs dont....thats the bottomline and not trying to further segregate the type of contributions to this so called underhand method which you labelled....and if its underhand method then all locals are at disadvantage regardless....its pple like you that divides the locals and made the battle against the FTs a harder task....

White scum had their underhand method of planning in such a way that NSmen are being "planned" to fight at warfront when war arises. If that really happen... but those regulars, generals and their lackeys are NOT in there!

I guess by asking this qtn, are you belong to that category? Or cook, clerk or driver vocation??
