I heard a rumour recently that when Lim Siong Guan was Head of Civil Service, he floated a trial balloon to gather feedbacks on what wld happen if PAP imposes compulsory NS for SG gals, The main take away from this trial balloon was that SG gals have wisdom, courage and "balls", unlike SG guys and they wld vote against the pap. The pap chickened out and dared not impose NS for gals. Unlike the pap, I advocate NS for gals and foreigners if pap wants to compe SG guys to do compulsory NS.
So dont blame SG gals for SG's predicament. Blame ball less SG guys
