SINGAPORE - An Indian national, who is a Singapore permanent resident (PR), was taken to court on Thursday (May 9) after he allegedly defaulted on his national service obligations for more than five years.
Thirumal Pavithran, 25, was charged with four counts of remaining outside Singapore without a valid exit permit, an offence under the Enlistment Act.
He allegedly committed the offences between Nov 1, 2010, and July 7, 2016.
Court documents did not reveal where he went after leaving Singapore and the reason behind his eventual return here.
He was enlisted on May 13, 2017, and is now a Corporal First Class with the Singapore Armed Forces.
Thirumal, who will reach his operationally ready date on May 12, told District Judge Adam Nakhoda on Thursday that he intends to plead guilty to his offences.


In a statement, the Ministry of Defence said that it takes a "firm stance" against those who commit offences under the Enlistment Act.

"All male Singapore citizens and permanent residents have a duty to serve NS."
"If we allow Singapore citizens or PRs who are overseas to evade NS or to choose when they want to serve NS, we are not being fair to the vast majority of our national servicemen who serve their country dutifully, and the institution of NS will be undermined," said a spokesman.
Thirumal, who was unrepresented, was offered bail of $10,000 and will be back in court on May 23.
If convicted of remaining outside Singapore without a valid exit permit, he can be jailed for up to three years and fined up to $10,000 for each charge.

SINGAPORE: A national serviceman was charged on Thursday (May 9) for leaving and remaining outside of Singapore without a valid exit permit for a combined duration of more than five years.
Corporal First Class (CFC) Thirumal Pavithran, 25, was charged with four counts of leaving Singapore without a valid permit before he eventually returned and started his full-time National Service (NS) in May 2017.


It was alleged that Thirumal, a Singapore permanent resident (PR) from India, had defaulted on his NS obligations for a total duration of five years, seven months and 16 days.

According to the charge sheets, Thirumal first left Singapore on Nov 1, 2010, when he was 16 years old, for a period of 10 months and 27 days.
He returned on Sep 28, 2011, but left Singapore again on Oct 5 that year, this time for a year and 11 days. He came back to the country on Oct 16, 2012.


On Oct 24, 2012, Thirumal left Singapore for three years, one month and 29 days. He came back on Dec 22, 2015, before going overseas eight days later, on Dec 30, 2015.
He came back to Singapore on Jul 8, 2016, and enlisted into full-time NS on May 13, 2017. He will finish his full-time service on Sunday, MINDEF confirmed.
For these offences, the Attorney-General's Chambers pressed for a custodial sentence of 10 to 12 weeks' imprisonment.
MINDEF reminded all male Singapore citizens and PRs that they have a duty to serve NS.
“The Ministry of Defence takes a firm stand against those who commit offences under the Enlistment Act,” it said.
“If we allow Singapore Citizens or PRs who are overseas to evade NS or to choose when they want to serve NS, we are not being fair to the vast majority of our national servicemen who serve their country dutifully, and the institution of NS will be undermined.”
The case will come back to court on May 23.

An Indian national, who is a Singapore permanent resident (PR)

Wow, the standards are truly falling when it comes to giving out PR.

I remember not too long ago, PR was given only to PRC, Jap, Korean, Malaysian and Ang Moh PMETs and business owners. And it's also offered a case by case basis, there's a vetting process.

And upgrading from PR to citizenship is even more stringent, not all who apply will get it.

Thanks Lee Hsien Loong!
