  spot on

  plently of people had already mention/propose this

  but so far nothing had been done

  
  I ever posted in other forums too about ns serving many many times liao until I gave up.

   

  Lets look at a broder view.

  Foreigners are coming to spore to work and move up the corporate ladder fast.

   

  How about our boys? Serve 2 years...by the time rod, your foreigners/PRs already sitting on top and getting good pay.

  Our boys? Probably still searching for jobs and taking on low end pay jobs.

   

  Our govt like it?

  Come on lah, our boys also want to earn a good living too. Our boys want to compete with PRs and foreigners too.

  If you (mindef and ministers) bend on wanting the boys to serve 2 yrs, how to complete?

   

  World are changing, please (mindef and ministers), you also need to change your mindset.

   

  To be a bit dirty, we can dont vote you this time round if ns serving is not reduce to 1 year. I am sure 100% of parents (local) will agreed with it. Dont reduce, then dont vote you lah. You want or not?

  imagine your son/s after jc, poly or pre u had to serve ns - 2 years gone

  unless he is a scholar!

  international students/foreigner students whom graduate from local poly and university become pr

  they signed 3yrs bond and worked despite booming economic or recession

  while your son/s whom are also poly or university graduate are jobless

  due to the facts that his co downsized, relocated, restrucured, etc - how would you as a parent felt!

  this is butter and bread issue

  that's why we had low population like japan

  yr 1997, is one freaking year for me

  don't forget the influx of foreigners

  NSman diagnosed with acute grief reaction after girlfriend's death

  
  By Shaffiq Alkhatib | Posted: 24 June 2010 1654 hrs

  SINGAPORE: The boyfriend of a girl who fell to her death from an 8th floor ledge of an HDB block in Bedok was diagnosed with acute grief reaction after the incident.
  
  22-year-old national serviceman, Low Chen Sheng even had suicidal thoughts and was admitted to Mount Elizabeth Hospital for treatment from June 9 to 12 last year.
  
  In a coroner's inquiry, the court heard that 17-year old sales assistant Candice Goh Hui Yi died in the incident that took place Block 519, Bedok North Avenue 1 at around 4am on June 7.
  
  Mr Low lives in one of the units there.
  
  Ms Goh had a heated quarrel with him just hours before her death.
  
  This led her family to believe that Mr Low had pushed her off the ledge following a dispute over some 700 dollars which she had withdrawn from their joint bank account.
  
  Mr Low denied this and said that he did not touch Ms Goh prior to the fatal fall.
  
  Instead, he was the one who administered cardio-pulmonary resuscitation or CPR on her after she fell.
  
  When cross-examined by Deputy Public Prosecutor, Ruth Wong, Mr Low said Ms Goh had previously threatened to commit suicide on more than one occasion.
  
  The court heard that there were occasions when she would sit on the ledge after they quarrelled and Mr Low believed she did that to "scare" him.
  
  The case has been adjourned to July 5. - CNA/jy

  gers was supposed to be called up but some issues caused e idea to be scrapped.

  and I personally hate any move to politicise NS w/ elections. It's macham questioning our defence needs.
