Got Injury B4 Enlist, BUT NOT Declare: How? Who Responsible?
-
Hi,
I now have a fragment of bone stuck (appox. 0.5cm) in my right knee patella tendon.
It impedes my usual routine in any high impact activities, such as basketball, without a patella tendon strap.Highly likely that I will have to get a surgery operation.
However, I will be enlisting for NS soon.
But yet then, I don't want a PES downgrade.Is there any ways I can defer NS for the surgery operation and recovery?
Do you think I should call the 24/7 NS hotline at 1800-3676767 or [email protected]?
Do you think I can seek assistance from a Member of Parliament (MP)?
Thank you.

Will Mindef/ SAF take responsibility and compensate you if should you injure your knees without declaring honestly and truthfully to CMPB?
Can you claim any insurance/ training injury compensation from SAF?
If you don't declare, SAF insurance policy is null and void?What do you think?

See your Member of Parliament (MP) to write appeal letter?
www.parliament.gov.sg/whos-my-mp
Meet-the-People Sessions (MPS) is the name of a feedback/redress system developed in Singapore for citizens to meet their member of parliament. The MPS are usually held once a week. Many citizens see the MPS as an opportunity to resolve problems that they are having with the bureaucracy.The MP will write a petition letter to the relevant ministry, statutory board or any concerned parties to appeal on behalf of the resident. The letters are accorded a higher priority by the Civil Service as they come from elected representatives.
Cases deal with a wide range of problems. These include, but are not limited to, family financial problems (e.g. health-cost issues, jobs, financial assistance), CPF matters, various licenses, HDB related problems (e.g. subsidized rental housing, obtaining a subsidized HDB flat), immigration issues, and appeals for school admissions and school fee subsidy.
Most sessions last past midnight to help residents effectively due to waiting time.The process of meeting the MP or Ministers varies from constituency to constituency, but they follow a general pattern:
1) Registration and take queue number
2) Constituent meets the petition writer who pens the letter (either hand-written or via PC) on behalf of the MP
3) Wait and queue to meet the MP
4) Meet the MP in a separate room, constituent informs the MP of his/her problems one-to-one.
5) MP assures the constituent that they will look into the case and send the letter. For urgent cases, the letter will be typed out, sign by the MP and hands it to the constituent immediately. For normal cases, the letter will be vetted through by the MP’s or Minister’s Personal Secretary and sent out within three working days.
