NS Men: Call of duty and what the elections mean to us
March 10th, 2011 | Author: Contributions | Edit

With the General Election soon approaching us, I would like to call for all of us Male Singaporean Citizens, who have completed their NS commitment or are still going through it to come together for this GE.

The 2.5 years, with 13 year reservist cycles, coupled with IPPT and remedial training if you fail, becomes a liability when we have the influx of cheap labor pounding the very land that we pledge to defend.

While we are out in the field, our foreign talent gets ahead in their careers in Singapore, and we have to ask ourselves what recognition does the PAP government acknowledge us in terms of benefits?

Why do we not have a certain level of privilege when it comes to medical treatment, why is it we do not have privilege HDB housing benefits when leasing the 99 year HDB flat.

Is there no need to acknowledge the NS men¡¯s contribution, the recent payout for NS men is a slap on the face, if there were a rule where the NS men could pay that amount back to be exempted from NS liability, I am sure most Singaporeans citizens would take up that offer.

The defense budget is one of the heavier expense driven item for Singapore, but why is it we cannot reduce the defense budget and allocate a certain portion to the Singaporean male citizens?

Who is going to operate the hardware if we do not take care of these NS Men?

This election my vote goes to the opposition because I do not want my sons to grow up with that NS liability, as it is likely his bosses will be foreigners who will hire people from their native country, and he has to start from ground zero while the PAP provides jobs for foreigners and NS for Singaporeans.

My fellow NS brothers, do consider the vulnerable situation, we are in and it is in our own interest that we consider the NS liabilities versus the career stability and opportunity cost, for doing National Service without any Singaporean privileges.

Also one worrying factor on my mind is the recent incident of the NS men that went into coma while on store man duty and the financial challenges that came with it later on

This could happen to anyone!



Vote for change, vote for opposition and NS Men benefits

Cheers

NS Men
