That is why I cannot understand when people claim he is compassionate. . Where NS was concerned he was not prepared to listen to reasons. It was his idea and nobody must oppose it. The Isrealis and old full time regualrs ( many of whom were of a particular race) were SKUNKS! They were sadists and torturers not trainers!
During those days there were poor hawker parents with only one son who approached them about exemption - cut no dice with him.
THE ARMY during GKS days!
+++++++++++++++++
In the early days you report sick you kena terok terok- it was almost like you kena punished for reporting sick.!
The Bloody combat chicken they threw to us for food, in the camp was horrigible
and the dirty mugs and mesh tins had to be polished just like your boots until you can see your face in them!
For stand by bed your mesh tins and water bottle had to be shining -
YOUR uniforms had to be starch so hard that it could literally stand up at attention on its own without your wearing it!
The bloody steel helmet weighed so bloody heavily on your head in the hot sun absorbed even more heat!
AND All these stupid things HIS BLOODY ARMY made us do!
1)Imagine giving us recruits a stupid 4 inche jack knife and making us cut grass with it at SAFTI? really dumb stupid things w ehad to submit to!
2)If the toilet walls were not well cleans the SGT Maj made you lick the toilet walls! tha that sort of abuse!
3)carrying granite and making roads for SAFTI and using branches of trees to tar the road! ridiculous! really cheap labour!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I call that the epitome of stupidity! instituted by a so called brilliant economist of the day, who didn't need to undergo all that stupidity himself ?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
65 individuals were stuffed in one platoon sharing 4 toilet bowl- imagination the problem every morning just lining up in four details one behind th eother - to clear your bowels! Thanks to GKS again!
TO GKS it must be very funny- a whole load of educated A level students being treated that way! I can well understand why those doing NS in those days and their parents really hated himand cursed him to high heavens!
----------------------------
Interesting the age for NAtional Service cut off line was those born after 1949- and his only son Kian Chee was spared. And even if he had to do NS - as a white horse it would have been different.compared to the plebians' children!

keng from NS good for you and fuck the country who sabo you
B-boys fake illness, escape army
SEOUL - NINE South Korean break dancers were arrested for pretending to have schizophrenia and other mental illnesses in order to escape compulsory military service, Seoul police said Monday.
Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency arrested the nine - members of the crew T.I.P. - short for 'Team work Is Perfect' - after receiving an anonymous tip that the dancers faked symptoms of mental illness to avoid South Korea's two-year mandatory military service, case officer Lee Jin-hak said.
'The suspects pretended to hear sounds and to see ghosts, feigning schizophrenia and insanity so that they will fail the physical for conscription,' Lee told The Associated Press. South Korea requires all able-bodied men aged 18 to 35 to serve at least two years in the military, unless they do not pass the conscription physical and are deemed unsuited to serve.
The suspects, whose names were not disclosed, thoroughly studied symptoms of schizophrenia, insanity, and depression in medical textbooks and the Internet, enough to deceive their parents and psychiatrists, Lee said. 'They played up their supposed symptoms so that they'll be hospitalized about thirty to fifty days - long enough to qualify for exemption,' he said.
South Korea's military service laws exempt men who have a record of receiving psychiatric treatment for 6 months up to a year, or if they have been hospitalized for over a month. 'Once they were cleared they break danced all they wanted, while others their age served their country,' Lee said.
Lee said the police will file criminal charges against three of the suspects whose statute of limitations have not yet expired, and order the rest to immediately report for military duty. The Military Manpower Administration said it plans to re-examine all nine men in a thorough physical. -- AP

indonesian cheated sg of NS enter havard
Poly 'reject' off to Harvard
Indonesian is the first S'pore Poly student to get into the elite varsity
By Amelia Tan
Harvard-bound Singapore Polytechnic student Kuriakin Zeng with the TR-2010 robot he designed and built with teammates. It will be one of the robots competing in the RoboCup competition next month at Suntec City. Mr Zeng, who is passionate about robotics, has clinched a full scholarship to study liberal arts at Harvard College. -- ST PHOTO: DESMOND FOO
HE WAS once rejected by Singapore Polytechnic (SP), but Indonesian student Kuriakin Zeng, 24, subsequently went on to make history at the institution, not once but twice.
Last year, he became the first SP student to score straight distinctions for all of his 33 modules in his electronics, computer and communication engineer-ing diploma course.
Last week, he became the first student from the polytechnic to be accepted into Harvard College, where he will do a liberal arts course - with the bonus of having a full scholarship from the Ivy League university.
