We welcome our President who is in London watching the Olympics to start a President Sportman/Sportswoman scholarship. :evil:
The above is not exhausive and there are many others not being outlined. In short, yr kid will be treated like a national treasure far better than a President Scholar. -

Good :idea:

No, Ksi, the word I used was \"EXEMPTED\"!!!
It is so true about the short-lived part. Most world class sportsmen can take part in at most 3 Olympics and they become history in terms of active sportsmen. I believe a national team member has good reasons to defer NS which the country will happily support....so not an issue for outstanding boys in sports.Way2GO:
For many sports, its a short-lived career even if they make it.
For many promising young males, their progress r impeded by NS.
concern2, defer NS not an incentive leh...still have to complete just later only..

Why 12 years? It would be called reservists then... :rotflmao:

During my time, national sportmen r given soft postings n they r allowed time off for training n competitions, but normally no deferment.

Ang Peng Siong was once posted to my reservist unit. Also not given any specific assignments - just passing time to finish his ICT. -
