  I am pretty sure the most efficient organisation in this country could do with your volunteered services.

  You serve NS you can get citizenship

  if you are only planning to get PR, then you might not need to serve NS.

  For our SAF, its more vital you hold interest in its efficiency.

• Billykinggg

  21 Mar 11, 19:56

  i already sent an email to ns.sg and i really hope that they would say yes duhhhhh

• ditzy

  21 Mar 11, 20:11

  Call them, see what's their answer? But why are you so keen to serve SAF?

  There must be a reason why u wanted to join SAF instead of your home country forces? Just because of the PR or citizenship I don' t think so. It'd would made our citizenship looks too cheap. Btw if u want PR/ citizenship so badly employment in Singapore would be much easier. As for foreigner like you, even SAF think if u can serve, they'll have to check your background etc. Certain vocation might not be available to you.

  You know what? This is your first leap of faith to joining our armed forces. And if you overcome this, I tell you man, there will be a hell lot more coming your way. Trust me when I say its the most efficient organisation in our country, and I mean it because I don't use the "".

  If you think that the only way you can obtain PR is by serving NS, then you must not be very smart.

   

  I fear for your future.
