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.
yes do that and take away the national service liability. do NS for fuck.
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.
you are the one who wants to erase lines between PR and citizens and I'm pointing on to you the longest line in the sand that separates the two. wake up.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.

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

So in real war crisis, PR take arms and protect our soils?View attachment 122808
"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.
