NS a duty, not a job

Why did panel decide not to raise NS allowance?
Richmond Lee
Published: June 12, 4:04 AM
I am happy that new conscripts and operationally-ready national servicemen alike will be better rewarded (“Recommendations ‘strengthen NS for future generations’”; June 11).
I wonder, though, why one of the crucial aspects of National Service (NS) that could have been strengthened, which would be to pay NSmen more to better honour them for their time and commitment, was not.
Conscripts, regardless of education level, are now paid S$480 a month during Basic Military Training. Once they graduate from command school as a specialist, they are paid around S$800 a month. The difference compared with a regular specialist with A-Levels or a diploma is about three times, on average. Why was this gap not narrowed?
I suppose all junior commanders start out having equal responsibilities and workloads.
Would increasing the NS allowance not better reflect the contribution of the full-time national serviceman (NSF) and boost his morale?
Raising allowances for all NSFs, though, would cost more to state coffers. To finance this, the Singapore Armed Forces could have considered channelling the portion of money used for catering food to top up allowances.
Assuming a meal costs S$5, lunch and dinner would cost about S$300 monthly for each in-camp NSF.
That extra monthly sum in the hands of NSFs could be better utilised, for instance, for their family’s utility bills and groceries or saved for their tertiary education.
By restricting the cost of cookhouse meals, NSFs could buy from the caterers at a subsidised rate, while regulars could pay the full cost. Having a choice in buying meals may even improve the standards of cookhouse food.
The time, opportunity costs and onerous duties that NSmen undertake to serve and defend Singapore are unquestionable. The onus is perhaps on the policymakers to address whether this good service deserves to be compensated at a better rate.

Money faced Sinkies who have sold their souls to the devil have PAP to bring them into Parliament and possibly a glorious 5yrs of bountiful salary returns.

I have Jesus Christ being appreciative, so long as I am ingenious for His high purpose which my forum signature explains/ describes.

So as long as I serve my Lord's purpose, life is always happy. And that is what the happy face is for:

The blind leading the blind as they all fall into the pit:
Matthew 15:14 (King James Version (KJV))
14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

Unlike communist who make promises that are IMPOSSIBLE to keep, I just say honestly what do I see and how I think the poor can be helped. Let's just see if my scheme here can work... PAP IB are free to respond.

Writing is my hobby. I smile when I do what I love best...
Thank you very much for your concern and advice.

FUCKING STINKIES FOR SMEAR OF SHIT ON SOLE OF SHOE LKY AND PAPs A LUCRATIVE JOB
WHICH MUST BE PAID UNTIL THOSE FUCKERS CAN LAUGH ALL THE WAY TO THEIR BANKS AND BACK FROM THEIR BANKS



Hang those PAP maggots cockroaches with piano wires from lamp posts to make them dance before it is too late and we have no more CPF to get back.
BBQ those PAP maggots cockroaches before it is too late and we have no more CPF to get back.
Cut a few more arseholes into those PAP maggots cockroaches to let out their shit before it is too late and we have no more CPF to get back.
Make those PAP maggots cockroaches eat joss sticks and candle wax before it is too late and we have no more CPF to get back.

PAP is finished.
The stinking glue and terror that hold PAP together is that old fart smear of shit on sole of shoe LKY. LKY is about to die in days or weeks.
LKY will never allow good decent people into the PAP and good decent people will not want to get into the PAP. Those in PAP are the most corrupt and moral degenerates and moral bankrupts and moral filths that are being presented to stinkaporeans as moral compasses.
None of those in PAP work for anyone but that smear of shit on sole of shoe LKY, to help him hold down Singaporeans to screw and fuck hundreds of BILLIONs from us all into smear of shit on sole of shoe LKY stinkapore sovereign funds.
They are there in PAP because LKY know that they are a bunch of self serving greedy bastards and scrapings of scums of society. To call them maggots cockroaches will be to insult real maggots and real cockroaches.


WE ALL ARE NOW WAITING FOR THE DEATH OF LKY IN COMING DAYS OR WEEKS.
WE ALL WILL YUM SENG AND YUM SENG AND YUM SENG AGAIN AND AGAIN DANCING SINGING ON TABLE TOPS AND STREETS
WE THEN WILL SEE THOSE IN PAP WITH SHARPENED KNIVES HOOTING ARSEHLOON A DOZEN NEW ARSEHOLES AND THE DEATH OF THE ENTIRE LEE KWA CLAN
WE THEN WILL PICK UP PIANO WIRES AND HANG ALL THOSE REMAINING PAP AND THEIR COLLABORATORS FROM LAMP POSTS AND SEE THOSE BASTARDS AND BITCHES DANCE.
AND HAPPINESS WILL RETURN TO OUR LAND.
AND STINKAPORE WILL BECOME SINGAPORE ONCE MORE.

[escher]

FUCKING MAYORS OF STINKAPORE PAID MORE THAN US PRESIDENT.
AND STINKAPORE GOT SO MANY PAP NOMINATED MAYORS.
GUANGZHOU, SHANGHAI, CHICAGO, NEW YORK, LONDON MANY TIMES THE SIZE OF STINKAPORE GO JUST ONE MAYOR.

WHAT THE FUCK DO STINKAPORE MAYORS DO OTHER THAN TO LAUGH ALL THE WAY TO THE BANKS?





SINGAPORE FOR SINGAPOREANS
SINGAPORE NOT FOR FOREIGN TRASH BROUGHT IN DELIBERATELY BY PAPs TO DISPLACE SINGAPOREANS
FTs BROUGHT IN BY PAPs TO REDUCE THE MONEY SINGAPOREANS CAN TAKE HOME FOR THEIR FAMILIES
FTs BROUGHT IN TO DEVALUE SINGAPOREANS
PAPs THEN USING FUCKING WORDS LIKE RACISTS AND XENOPHOBES TO FURTHER KICK SINGAPOREANS IN THE TEETH
REMEMBER IT IS THE FUCKING PAPs THAT DELIBERATELY BROUGHT IN THE FTs
SO THAT LESS MONEY FOR SINGAPOREANS AND LESS MONEY TO FIGHT THE FUCKING PAPs

TO HAVE LESS JOBS AVAILABLE FOR SINGAPOREANS AS FTs WILL BE GIVEN THAT JOB PREFERENCE OVER SINGAPOREANS

PAP TIEWING AND FUCKING STINKIES FOR SMEAR OF SHIT ON SOLE OF SHOE LKY AND PAPs
A LUCRATIVE JOB FOR WHICH PAPs ARE PAID UNTIL THOSE FUCKERS CAN LAUGH ALL THE WAY TO THEIR BANKS AND BACK FROM THEIR BANKS

The time for Roy and those like Roy will be now.
PAP is finished.

The stinking glue and terror that hold PAP together is that old fart smear of shit on sole of shoe LKY

LKY will never allow good decent people into the PAP and good decent people will not want to get into the PAP.
Maggots and cockroaches are appointed as ministers in parliament
Kangaroos are frolicking in High Court instead of being allowed to wander and roam about in the Zoo

And lowest scums of society known for their vicious self interest driven greed are preaching to sinkies on morality and elitism.
Those in PAP are the most corrupt and moral degenerates and moral bankrupts and moral filths that are being presented to stinkaporeans as moral compasses.
Despite the leeching and fucking of singaporeans by the cheebye PAP and LKY, Singapore still managed to survive to date.
Despite their being hung as a fucking millstones around the necks of Singaporeans and the idiocy and corrupt manipulations of PAP and LKY, Singapore still not dead yet.

WE ALL ARE NOW WAITING FOR THE DEATH OF LKY IN COMING DAYS OR WEEKS.
WE ALL WILL YUM SENG AND YUM SENG AND YUM SENG AGAIN AND AGAIN DANCING SINGING ON TABLE TOPS AND STREETS

They promised violence and they didn't disappoint. Which part of the deal did they failed to keep?

 

[silver]

better still if they just admit they dont want to spend their budget on NSF because the law already force them to serve no questions asked. not as if they not happy about low pay can just quit.
