Agree with you totally, although anything to do with NS wouldn't benefit me anymore.
magnanimous of you

18 to 20 years is too small a number. Will need a mercenary armed force if no NS or with NS but no ICT. Probably full-time NS is more disruptive and that part should be reduced. Let's start with 1 year. Probably save several hundred million a year.
true true. they give out free memberships but some of the members hardly visit the safra clubs. govt saves $$$.
There was a report that mentioned Sinkiesland is a great place to work. For whom ? For FTs or expats coming here to work and play. But, Europe will be the best place to retire.
And FTs will continue to say, "Thanks for your stupidity, suckers !" As free security guards 24/7.
I really wonder whose brainchild is it for the free 1 year membership at SAFRA ?
How will it benefit anyone ?
SAFRA Clubhouse very great meh ? Got slot machines huh ?
Why don't they give out Geylang vouchers , that's more practical
Gals should not do NS.
Haven't you heard that all the grave yards are being vacated?
Only have room if you can Pay And Pay.
You can check with the Bedok Reservoir if they have room:(
I am proud of my NS stint and I would willingly have done it for free out of the love of my country and my fellow citizens.
I do not need any vouchers. If I receive any, I will donate them to a worthy charity.
what good is a SAFRA membership card when i don't even live near a SAFRA branch?! can the govt give me $100 worth of grocery vouchers instead?
Basically it is to remind that you have been thro' NS and not to forget about it.
I feel for native SG guys for the discrimination they suffer.
i thought many guys prefer to forget their ns experience
Heh. Shortly after my ORD, I remember that they (SAFRA telemarketers) used to constantly pester me to apply for a SAFRA membership.
I told them to fuck off.

pay NSF the market rate of their vocation
Performing NS is not a chore. It's an honor and a joy. It should be reserved only for true blue citizens. The Johnny-come-latelies do not deserve the privilege.
I would hate the thought of some stupid foreigners being given the opportunity to enjoy 2 years of serving the country the way I did.
That's where you're wrong. I treasure every moment of NS and reminisce regularly even though many years have passed.

Once I ROD (my time call ROD), I called the SAFRA hotline to cancel my SAFRA magazine subscription. The person attending the call have the cheek to ask me why. I almost let go KNNBCCB
