No. Not a day but he was 'invited' to do so and always had trouble renewing his employment pass. Got cancelled a few times even but always managed to resolve....and after as few years (pass NS age)....no more NS issue.
He was working for Aussie MNC btw.

Limpei like that. Emigrated to Canada mid-nineties. Lived, worked, and started family there. Now back in Peesai to work.

On one of my vacation trips to Sg, ran into my previous boss who offered me a position. Accepted it, and voila! Back on E-pass.

Aiyah, working class is working class. Will go anywhere I can find meaningful employment. Now boss sez thinkiing of opening office in Ho Chi Minh City. Limpei hands up!

Cheers!

Yup! quite a number, the fact is, many of my primary school classmates, secondary school too & a few buddies. Born here, went through schools here, COMPLETED THEIR NATIONAL SLAVERY, went to do their degrees overseas, give up citizenship, married overseas then in the 90's, '00's came back here & work as EXPATRIATES...

ask why they left such a BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY LIKE SINgapore?...the answers, no need to explain..the fact is, none came back to live...

Hypothetical question...

Pappies scare of low vote count so offers every sinkie a chance to convert to PR and release of cpf monies but sinkies as PRs will not have voting rights. Will you take up offer?

Why look back?

When you leave already look forward to your new life and dun turn back.

Sg is not the perfect place surely you can also accept the imperfection in your new place.

Smart son of a bitch similiar to those who planned so well that just after serving NS, they collect the letter to exempt themselves forever from reserve service.

Just watching their daft Sinkie counterparts suffer till age 40 and 50 for officer is...

PRICELESS!

There plenty of holes for you to fire. remember to wear cap, if not vietnam rose very dangerous

why wasn't he charged by Mindef or government for evading NS?

Does he he special preferential treatment like connection with elite family to get away from punishment? ...
