NS enlistment hits 900,000th man milestone

[RonRon]

Singapore reached a milestone on Sunday - the 900,000th man to undergo national service (NS) since it was introduced in 1967.

Joining the previous generations who have gone through the familiar rite of passage in the last 45 years were 3,462 recruits, who became newly minted soldiers after they successfully completed their Basic Military Training (BMT).

They graduated as privates in an end-of-course parade held at Marina Bay's floating platform on Sunday morning, after completing the nine-hour, 24km route march, the traditional final phase of recruit training.

The parade's reviewing officer, MP Intan Azura Mokhtar, said the route march served as a timely reminder to the citizen soldiers about NS.

900,000 of cheap labours abused by PAP.

50 years later, 900,000 male Singaporeans are told they are DAFT(Y) by Singapore biggest bully LKY. This bully trained THEM to behave like dogs, named DAFTY Sun Xu. How dafty can male Singaporeans get?

Now he become even more dodgy and enlisting FTs to be PRs and new citizens to do NS and 50 years later his PAP will call them DAFTY orso.

Bring them in to be the world biggest DAFTs nation!

[Jah_rastafar_I]

holy sheet it took this long to make it to 900k?

 

[Jah_rastafar_I]

why not make it 1 million? Oh yeah probably too long a wait. Should get those fts to serve.

Funny they didn't publish that SAF colonels and above has crossed 900. Perhaps they're woried that even military coup prone countries like Indonesia and Thailand would get worried, especially after a colonel was killed somewhere in Africa in counter-coup.

900000 x 2-1/2 years = 821,250,000 man days lost.

900000 x 2-1/2 years = 821,250,000 man hours lost.

Hmmm quite true. This also reflect very well on unproductive things like queuing for days and nights for placings in schools, condos, ipads, etc. It sucks the lives of these people.

Re: Wasting Precious Time Of One's Youth

Why suddenly bring out this number?

Are they telling our neighbours we have closed to one million soldiers in the country.

So don't mess around with us?

Oops! Open Mob again!!

Minus those dead or retired, Singapore should have about 400,000 ORD NSmen on call for mob. Bigger than the entire British Army.

My time, about 8,000. Now, my guesstimate is about 10,000. I don't really know for sure.
