Did you serve NS? else shut up .. At least those who pro or against DID it..

Where is your quote by LKY about singapore has no beggars? disappear.?

Of course I did.. .a full two and a half years plus all my reservist liabilities without a single deferment.

NS is a great experience and benefits everyone. It doesn't hinder ones career advancement at all. In fact, it provides fantastic networking opportunities for those who are ambitious and enterprising.

For a list of LKY's famous and profound quotes, look up wikipedia. They're all there.

Got to admire these guys for doing the calculations

its not difficult to do autosum on spreadsheet, but can the gahmen accept the reality in their flawed calculation or compensation to citizen men?

The way the calucation is done is similar to something Minister Tharman did during this year's budget debate. Using the same methodology, he showed that the PAP government was givng more than $400k to lower income households. Hence if you are going to argue that this calculation is rubbish, then you would be saying that Minister Tharman's calcuation was similarly flawed.

Hah ! Agreed NS isn't that bad when it is over. I curse and swear while serving it !!! Looking back it is quite an experience. Reservist duty more enjoyable for those who want an official break away from work but to other who run own business with limited staff, it can be painful.

Now to the question "So if gahment pay back $334,200 to NS men, will sinkie be happy then? "

I would be quite happy to accept as I have written off those lost years but please not in my cpf !!! Prefer to hold cold hard CASH. Putting in cpf is getting a bit like giving hell note...don't know got chance to spend or not.
