SDP has constantly said they will scrap NS and reduce the Defence Force and Budget to a low minimum, making the military the size of very small European principalities. Do you agree with them?
SAF is required but on minimal scale. Ns should be served 3 mths instead of 2 yrs. Females should serve 3 mths in other areas of NS e.g medics etc. Jiak liao bee regulars should be reduced and make those sign up not to jiak liao bee.
How then to maintain patrols of the Malacca Strait and even the Gulf region
This sort of real business duties can be delegated to signed on regulars so that they will not jiak liao be in MINDEF orfit.
Shd have a professional force and back up by a volunteer reservist force. Everyone attend bmt and then 6 mth vocational training. But reservists be given monetary incentive to sign up for the reserves, and reservist training shd never be longer than 7days. Outsource logistics to contractors, ie.. Reservist inpro liao only need to draw arms and the rest of the equipments already prepare im advance by constractors. Basically inpro first day already can move outfield.
What the point of having 300k reservist when more than half are not interested. Might as well save the money and use it to reward the motivated.

If no NS, how to have security patrols at airport and sea ports?
Those tasks can be outsourced to the private sector. The only reason you let armed conscripts prowl those areas is because they're dirt cheap, almost free.
Nothing more than economic exploitation.
