SINGAPORE - Singapore-born New Zealand teenager Brandon Smith will be required to fulfil his national service (NS) obligations, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) said on Wednesday (March 2).
"Singapore adheres to the fundamental principles of universality and equity for NS. All Singaporeans are expected to fulfil our NS obligations as citizens," MFA stated in a written reply to Jurong GRC MP David Ong's question in Parliament.
"It would not be fair to allow citizens to avoid NS just because they reside overseas."
How stupid is the government ...after the bad press on MINDEF not obligated to ensure the safety of our soldiers ...the MFA now demands an half angmo boy who has not roots in sinkapore come back and serve NS.
If the parents are stupid to send him back for NS, then they are sending their son to face a potential death!
