I agree with what many have said about NS here -in my opinion for males only those who have served FULL TIME NS (barring medical exemption) are eligible to work in civil service, stand for elections, hold any political office and apply for HDB flats or any government subsidies of any kind.

This covid has exposed animosity between the vaxed and unvaxed where life is concerned, and endangered, the vaxed get priority and leave the unvaxed to die.

So this can apply to NSF duty to the nation when life is concerned, and endangered, in war and crisis time the soldiers must die for the seek of the nation.

As such, all civil servant jobs, uniformed groups must be filled by NSF soldiers first. Full employment for NSF soldiers and despatched to work in field of their trained vocations in SAF and continue education, swap and switch to industry which fit their talents...

Have annual challenges like military games, and civil talent competitions for NSF soldiers to find where their talent lies, and fund their higher education to upgrade their skillsets... Continuous upgrading if the soldier want to keep the jobs.....

These days all jobs are Web based IT and retraining is easy with Q and A forum, with outsourced platforms where sharing of knowledge of any jobs can be achieved easily in the Q and A forum...

Fear not... threat not.....

Fuck his mother CB

 

[JohnTan]

yes do that and take away the national service liability. do NS for fuck.

The SAF, along with NS, is the foundation of safe and stable Singapore. Typical of oppies to suggest populist but suicidal ideas like abolishing NS.

Most of the unvaxxed are people who believe in conspiracy theories or have watched too many zombie movies about people turning into zombies due to vaccines gone wrong.

Conscripted NS is obsolete practice and only stupid PAP still stick to it...

Long term PRs who never bothered to take up citizenship cannot be equal to Singaporeans.

Many sinkies were once PRs, including ministers like Khaw and Janil Pondicherry. Citizens and PRs should just be lumped together as 'locals'.

Pudding did not serve 2.5 years NS. Now, he volunteered to serve in Volunteer Corp. Had he not an MP, do you think he would?

Nearly everyone else in the VC are not MPs. They too, serve in the VC despite their commitments to their jobs and families.

In contrast, many sinkie males, especially oppies, whine every year about having to do 2-3 weeks of reservist duty.

You can eat shit with food also. No needfor lines

No sure if anyone realise that the want MOM measurements unemployment ~ if you're out of job for more than 6 months, you're not unemployed, you're automatically re-classified as no longer seeking employment.

That's why Singaporean unemployment remains ultra low despite the fact that reality seems disconnected from statistics. I am sure there are at least 2-3 people you know who have been looking for jobs unsuccessfully for months or even years. More if you're over 40.

We should draw hearts instead. SG hearts FTs.

"More fundamentally, as a society, I don't think we should be drawing lines between Singapore citizens and permanent residents.

"They contribute to our strengths as a society and our economy. Singapore is an immigrant nation and openness is one of our society's core strengths that has defined who we are."

Meanwhile, local PMET unemployment also generally remains at 3 per cent or lower outside crises, he said. The long-term unemployment rate is even lower, at below 1 per cent.

"The increase in foreign PMETs has not caused our unemployment rate to rise," Dr Tan said.

The number of PMET job vacancies has also been on an upward trend since 2010, and has been hovering around 30,000 over the past five years.

These job openings are spread across various sectors, with 4,300 unfilled PMET jobs in infocomm, 4,100 in finance, and 2,700 in professional services, for instance.

"If every additional foreigner results in one less opportunity for locals, why are there still so many unfilled vacancies? Surely these vacancies should have long been filled," Dr Tan pointed out.

So in real war crisis, PR take arms and protect our soils?
Or run back to their own country?
