NS is really taking up a lot of young Singaporean males' time and should be effectively reduced to 1 year as soon as possible. If they can so immediately consider reducing the Chinese Language weightage for PSLE, they can also do so for NS. The reduction of NS debate has been getting on for so long already, could be more than a decade...
Taiwan has already reduced their NS to only 4 months of service. Why can Singapore just make it 1 year NS? Wouldn't it be better for everyone?
Just see for yourself; the girls are getting into University or workforce faster and getting a great head start in life... what happens to the males? Wasting 2 long years... time equates youth which equates $$$.
Anyway, let's be sensible, there is really no need for 2 years of service, 1 year is more than enough!
Singaporeans, let's rally together and push for changes!
Merdeka!

haha i believe the reduction will take place, but i can assure you it won't be anytime soon.. our next generation perhaps? lol.
