Stop reading at "The spokesperson added: "During his service with SCDF, N had taken 125 working days of sick leave and 180 working days of hospitalisation leave. He was present at work for only 130 days during his NS, including 96 days as a recruit/trainee firefighter. "

It's obvious that this Chao Keng fellow is the problem. He should be sent to Siberia for wasting so much tax payers monies on his uselessness and yet his dad still dare to ask for compensation. SCDF should sue his whole family bankrupt for having such a useless son.

I had to help friend who is depressed after his NS too, and honestly, it was tough because he wouldn't open up at first. Encouraging him to talk to someone outside our group really made a difference. He eventually agreed to join mental health talks and got support. Just being there without pushing helped a lot.

Ii is a waste of time for Sinkies to do NS. They are totally useless. In times of war just mobilise the maids.

If want to do NS just make it 6 months or less.
Bill gates, zuckerberg, steve jobs did their best art that age. PAP depriving singkies from joining that big league.
After NS, you are brain washed to take orders and not create start ups.

So he basically MC his entire way and eventually managed to get his discharge.

Depression may take root in school, NS or at the workplace. Our Strawberry Generation cannot possibly be shielded everywhere they go to.

SCDF, not even a hardcore cheong army unit! Mind you, if you kena those cheebye units which have exercises and drills all the time, you wish you are depressed enough to get discharged!

SCDF is like a chilled unit. And furthermore, this fucker got posted out to do an office hour administrative role! That’s like hitting the jackpot.

Depression is a state of mind that is self created…think sad things and you will be sad.

As we grow older, simple changes may be upsetting as well, not to mention major life changes like the death of a spouse, parents or children.

Former schoolmates and friends who served NS in SCDF and SPF all admitted that they had it good. Anything beats the rigours of jungle training; it's not just the physical demands, but the heat, dirt and discomfort that are a soldier's worst enemies. I notice police officers buying food at hawker centres all the time; they don't rely on combat rations or cookhouse food like we SAF NSF did.

I have a friend's son who returned from UK to serve his NS; he was bullied and ostracised by platoon mates simply because he spoke with a British accent, having been born in London to S'porean parents who have been working there since graduating from a university in England. It didn't help that the NSF couldn't speak Mandarin.
