Will Mr Joseph Schooling serve NS after Tokyo Olympics? If Tokyo Olympics is cancelled, will he also serve his NS obligations? I acknowledge his contributions towards our local sporting scenes and I can perfectly understand that NS is a dent on his sporting career.

NS affects many of us too, and I believe Mr Schooling is shining example of this underlying issue.

Our system of National Service has guaranteed the career progression of useless army officers and regulars because they are promoted for being there "long enough" and perpetually, there are a group of juniors (NSFs and NSmen) under them, despite many being slackers.
 
They should probably follow the South Korean model: if you win a gold medal, you get exempted from reservist. :biggrin:

I think Israel and Taiwan have similar arrangements. Only Sinkieland is still stuck in last century's mindset... sad! :rolleyes:

Slash the defence budget, invest in a few good military drones, cut the budget of the annual NDP (sick and tired of seeing schoolkids, Soka Gakkai and People's Association prancing around in their silly costumes), and revamp the SAF scholarship by reducing the number of recipients and having a 50-year bond, with a lifetime ban from politics.

True, only tos scholars and white horses benefit serving NS, others just a form of cheap labour.

In this case, I would suggest that qualifying for Olympics warrants max. two deferments and a Bronze medal warrants a full NS exemption.

To be honest, regulars and NSFs learn to be street-smart in army because you learn only bad values and lie your way through.
 
ns is not confined to military service. he can be teaching sinkie ns men how to swim as part of his ns (physical instructor) duties.

He will grow up doing odd jobs and signing up to be a SDP member
 
Poor thing...he is under privileged.
 
NS is for all male Sinkies, no exemptions for anyone. you better believe it ?
 
He already devote a huge amount of time for the country and should be exempted.
 
Even if he serve NS,most of the time he will attach out for swimming competition.
 
Let's give the guy a break. He did deliver a gold. Maybe make it a reward system. No NS if you bring home gold.
 
Schooling will be turning 26 this year. It's disgusting for such an old fart to be wearing a No. 4 with no rank and having a botak head, and being tekan by instructors 5 years his junior.
 
It's time for him to move on after this Olympic and become a slave for PAP NS policy.
He has made some money, he is like badminton star for Lin Dan for China.

But Lin Dan just need to go online and make some video on TIK TOK and tons of advertiser will pay money to be on his tik tok videos.
