Foreigners and women in S'pore, who are not required to serve NS, enter the workforce and begin their careers 2 years earlier than their male S'porean counterparts. This head start allows them to gain experience, build professional networks and move up the corporate ladder faster. Local males are certainly discriminated against by the PAP.

In Taiwan, NS was recently. Lengthen to 1 year from 6 months.

With the threat of invasion by China looming over Taiwan, military service should be at least 2 full years. S'pore, on the other hand, has already been invaded by 650,000 CECAs, so we should just make NS a 6-month-stint.

Will there be riots on the streets once those chums discover that delivering food or people from Point A to B can be done by drones or AI-driven vehicles?

Maybe this will finally put them in place and not be so yaya.

Singapore’s suicide surge: why are more young people taking their own lives?​

Provisional data reveals a worrying jump in suicides among those in their thirties. Burnout and financial stress are part of the problem

Financial pressures, the strain of caregiving and the demands of building a career are increasingly pushing Singaporeans in their thirties to breaking point, with experts warning of a sharp rise in burnout and suicide among the so-called sandwich generation.


Provisional statistics released last Saturday showed that 75 people in their thirties took their own lives in 2024, up from 66 the year before. This age group accounted for the highest number of suicides last year.


According to the Samaritans of Singapore, people in their thirties face a unique constellation of complex pressures, from family issues and job instability to mounting mental health challenges.


But suicide is rarely attributable to a single cause. Rather, it arises from what Dr Sharon Lu, principal clinical psychologist at Singapore’s Institute of Mental Health, described as an “interplay of biological, psychological, social and cultural risk factors”, compounded by a lack of resilience.

Thai commercial banks saw their outstanding loans contract for a fourth consecutive quarter as lending to small businesses and consumers was crimped by heightened credit risks amid forecasts of an economic slowdown.

Outstanding loan portfolio dwindled 0.9% in the April-June period, slower than the 1.3% contraction in the first quarter, Bank of Thailand said in a statement Tuesday. The ratio of non-performing loans marginally increased to 2.91%, or 554.9 billion baht, at the end of the second quarter, it said. That compared with 2.9%, or 548.1 billion baht in the first quarter.

• Danatara CEO says to process U.S. crude at modular refineries
• Indonesia plans to build plants near oil production sites
• Potential sites include Natuna, Surabaya, North Halmahera, Fakfak

JAKARTA/SINGAPORE, Aug 19 (Reuters) - Indonesia plans to build a network of small modular refineries to process U.S. and domestic oil, aiming to reduce gasoline imports, but analysts warn the switch in strategy from large-scale refining facilities could prove uneconomical.

The prefabricated refinery units, which can be constructed faster and more cheaply than traditional plants, will help Asia's largest importer of gasoline meet domestic demand and its commitment to increase U.S. imports.
