MINDEF extending national service to 6 years...

[Byebye Penis]

I've served National Service for decades, and still serving Singapore through the People's Association.

were you one of those successful businessmen who brought the regulars and PA people to KTVs?

National Service conscription in its full spirit is a cause to arm and train young citizens to defend the country in times of need.

Only in SG where NSmen can be a mata or firefighter which is bascially a civil service job...might as well make NSmen become Perm Secs too.

The difference: Taiwan, similar to Israel and South Korea, has a hostile neighbour at its doorstep constantly stirring shit, which justifies conscription.

In Sinkieland, however, the snake oil of 'operational readiness' is sold as a sacred national narrative. It's just exploitation of cheap labour and creating jobs for GLCs and crony contractors.

Our issue is conscription. Because of conscription, useless and lazy regulars get continued promotions. Such leadership cannot win any real war. Ended up a lot of NSFs are more committed but towards to end of my reservist, I came to understand that during wartime, NSFs and reservists will be sent to frontline to die first, with older equipments while the regulars will claim any glory.

parasites.

Chinese low rank elite forces are a source of fear for Taiwanese commanders. Taiwan's military is simply for show and nobody ever fought a war unlike China.

ASEAN and NE Asia needs but China and Taiwan to kill each other, so that the world is a better place. If both of them are still around, our sons will get humiliated and daughters will get raped in workplace by these chinese (happening now in Singapore, but MOM & Police bochup).

Taiwan extends mandatory 4-month military service to 1 year, raises soldiers’ pay​

Before christmas, china flew 70 planes into taiwan airspace, taiwan bo balls to shoot them down.

Even if china flies 100 planes to Taipei airspace, trust me taiwan will still not shoot them down.

It's a good idea or else Sinkie males will be competing with CECA for good jobs. Sinkie males will also be gainfully employed during NS and help protect our most valuable asset - foreigners.

 

[Bad New Brown]

Like father like son, both generations of sinkies are unchanged and incapable

 

[congo9]

National service is like cheap human resources for Mindef to run National parade. Cos no ministry has so much manpower on hand to hold mega events.

 

[bushtucker]

Cut down to one year better. The cpf and iras need these young men to contribute to their coffers asap.

 

[gutpunch]

fake news title...leeport u! jk lol

 

[Filloz]

seriously, will the society be so concerned if the recent SCDF NSF who died is a Malay or Indian?

I bring the old folks to the local RC to socialize and make new friends.

Our time was 2.5 yrs for the more educated ones, and 2 yrs for the ah beings and lowly educated blokes.

That was sufficient.
It is unnecessary, and very unlikely that the Singapore will extend NS beyond the current two year period.
The active reservist annual training may vary from 7 to 12 years.

 

[Charlie99]

Isn't Israel longer? N both genders serve unlike those men only discriminatory policies

I do not believe that their full time "NS" is longer than Singapore.
May be, a much longer reservist liability.

Not into Taiwanese airspace, but to the Taiwanese ADIZ.

That's why, I took great pains to keng all the way. Managed to avoid a lot of shit.

On the contrary, I was always "on the ball"

2 years 8 months minimum for men and 2 years minimum for women. plus years of reservist liability.

Thank you.

Their youth are in our military and civil service. @JohnTan said they are active in our RC, universities and clans. Singapore is also a proxy for their belt road initiative, eg. China bank's Singapore branch invest in a AMDK country, is considered a Singapore investment in AMDK country, not china's.

Modi has a larger fifth column in Sinkapore than the Ah Tiongs. The Ah Neh will take over and run over the Ah Tiongs here. Even the PAP are afraid of Modi's army. That is why whatever Modi wants, the PAP gives. SQ acquisition of Air India is us donating money to the state-run airline.
