Errrrr....Singapore so small got so many \" new people \"to recruit every half a year meh?

Can recruit FTs?

Yalor, get all male FT to do 13 years of reservist nall Ft's sons to serve 2.5yr of NS before granting citizen ship. Or get them place a huge bond until commitment is fulfilled. :celebrate:

Sorry, I don't do NS also. What is ICT? :? In-camp-training?

As for reservist, maybe cut short so that male citizens are not too disadvantaged against FTs..

I cannot agree more.

Everyone I know that attends reservist says its a bl%%dly waste of time.

Here's an interesting blog about NS.

With blood, sweet and tears spent for almost 20 years lovingly raising a preciously little baby to become a health young adult and the current levels of reporting/investigation of deaths in NS …


Anyone would be worried.

Just imagine if you have lost a son (your only child) in NS to an training "accident". How would you feel about the entire idea of NS?

Beyond NS deaths, what about chronic injuries acquired during NS?

I know of many healthy friends and family that has entered NS with hearty vigor to serve their country. After 2 years, some has left NS with painful injuries that persist till this day.

You may say those injuries are inevitable part of training to defend our nation. But when those painful injuries persist into the fragile golden years … chronic back pains, knee and shoulder injuries (to name a few)- one will begin to question if it is all worth it.

The boy is fit though... so dunno why it happened.
Just like the recent soccer player who died during a match...
