He realised his nz heritage goes down well with colonial judges n his sinkie background stench with his colonial masters. He has no where else to fark off.
one stupid fuck fly back to serve NS??? what makes him to do that?
If their family wasn't rich, they wouldn't be so casual with their adventure in Singapore.
Unlike whining sinkies who are saddled with 10 years of reservists and yearly IPPT, he has a backdoor back to England if he had enough of PAP rule and overcrowded Singapore through his British father.
Father probably couldn't get a teaching position in the UK and hence the move to sinkieland was like an FT coming to work here... I guess its not really a hardship for them, if the father can find long term employment at Nanyang Poly. Mother as an artist, don't what she can do here.
How come MINDEF know his address in the UK and can send him a letter for pre-enlistment medical screening? You mean his parents are so fucking stupid, they give their address to MINDEF? Let them find him lah. Sure cannot if they don't tell MINDEF.
None of the sons of the sinkies that I know who have emigrated to NZ and OZ have had to go back and do NS so I don't know why these stupid Ang Mohs have been forced to return.
There is obviously more to the story than meets the eye.
obviously its a big deal,if not why the trumpeting of the white man's return to serve his motherland duties?
u guys are nuts,i rather be broke and living in a ang moh country than to have anything to do with this shithole...
...i bet he will return to UK once he 's done with PAP!
Isn't this a fine example of "Ang Moh the Best!"
... he served NS to get rights of residency in sinkie land but surely when crisis hit sinkie land, he could flee balek kampong to UK ... sama sama like his father .. squatting in sinkie land to hold the job in NTU.
I just want to know who the girl in red is. Yummy.
But whatever it is, it is part of the law in Singapore. I'd say that NS is now accepted as part of Singaporean life....If it is so unpopular, or detrimental to one's life and/or career, someone (eg; opposition party) should be speaking out for its abolishment. But all seems quiet. From this, I gather that NS is an accepted part of life in Singapore...
Cannot be. He has to give up his UK passport. Its illegal to hold 2 citizenships in Singapore. If he wants to stay im Singapore as a singapore citizen, then he has to renounce his UK citizenship. Not so easy to balak back there when u don't have a UK passport. He will enter as a tourist visitor. He can re-apply again for citizenship. But that's another process.
NS is important for the defence of sinkie land; no one else will defend your country for you. Whether sinkie land is worth dying for, it is another point. All these defence treaties about big and mighty USA coming to defend small countries are just bull shit. After the Vietnam War, where the Americans got killed like house flies, the US will no longer fight to die for another country.
Pappies are right (in certain areas of governance, they are wrong and dumb) in emphasizing the importance of NS to sinkie land.
The lessons of the WW2 and Jap invasion of sinkie land should not be forgotten. Sinkies must do NS to protect the island or else, no one will.
Didnt know NSF can be a diver. Somemore an officer. I thought NDU all are regulars.
