Government WILL NOT raise NS allowance

[Leongsam]

its a known fact that the worse of the lot become instructors.
Cannot be trusted and relied upon to lead in the units.

I agree with you because I was one of the most idle characters around. We used to be at the squash courts by 3 pm.

Apart from squash, my other pastime was torturing soldiers. I charged so many I lost count after 6 months.

Scrap NS lah.We are already invaded by Foreigners.

becos NSmen are doing a duty....... why can ministers be doing national duty instead of vampiring on sgians???
At least do part time duty mah.

 

[Hans168]

NS men are already overpaid. They get a great allowance plus all board and lodging and food is paid for. The whole package is worth at least $3000 which is excellent remuneration for an 18 year old.

Ja: they get fucked cheap & gotta to pay for their own fucks.

Anyone here knows how the first batch of NS were started ? Why the first batch of sinkie willing to "agree" to it ?
E.g. if today govt say woman must server NS, will the first batch of woman lan lan enlist ?

Get this book & read about the reasons http://www.amazon.com/No-Man-Island...&qid=1403152894&sr=1-1&keywords=james+minchin

The book was banned in Spore because the author who has interviewd LKY in the past, used LKY's picture without his permission.

Can read about the author here http://yawningbread.wordpress.com/2012/11/12/neither-priest-nor-philanthropist-welcome-here/

[Letter to Today] NS a duty, not a job — thus no ‘salary’: Mindef

NS a duty, not a job

Why did panel decide not to raise NS allowance?

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.

It's not 5 star but it is healthy and balanced. The lodging is excellent too. It is far better compared to what I had to put up with before LKY came to power.

I grew up in a leaky atap hut with no electricity, no running water and no toilet. I had to shit in a bucket shared with 50 others.

Come on. I sleep in a queen size orthopedic bed with air-con on. I also have support pillow. How can NS lodging compare to that?

They say they provide insurance coverage. But what good is insurance if you lose your life? It is safe to say that if one had been working in an office instead of training in the jungle, he will be much safer.

Please try to understand how hard SAF skimp and save to afford those new Leopard tanks. The new conscripts should be delighted to have new toys to play with!

PES E clerks should really xerox all the receipts for such items, and send to jane's weekly defence.

Hahahahaha! A simple transfer pricing trickery learnt from foreign multinationals. Except we transfer between public organizations and private corporations. Wouldn't want the PM's wife to look bad running all those loss making GLCs right?

A duty for "lesser mortals" & a Swiss standard for the PAP

The story of Spore under the PAP Now they don't even want to release our CPF

 

[escher]

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.
