Halimah was picked by the Familee for the sole purpose of virtue signalling in politics, so during her tenure you can expect her to do plenty of virtue signalling as well. You may recall that none of her predecessors had ever engaged in such nonsense.
I'm okay if SG has a policy that Olympic Gold.medalist do not have to serve NS.
But since there's no such policy he better fucking serve so that he's not breaking the law. And Ng Eng Hen better not weasel his way out of this by pandering to schooling wants. Being defence minister doesn't mean he can choose not to enforce the law
