NS for Girls/ Women/ Ladies

“We need more babies!� That cri de coeur from Singapore’s former Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong has echoed through this spic-and-span financial center on the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula for more than four years now. Yet the social engineers of this self-confessed "nanny state" have yet to realize exactly what the desire for a larger population really means. The same might be said of commentators—from both East and West—who have been observing the situation from afar. The problem is Singapore’s sliding fertility rate, the average number of children born to each woman of childbearing age. According to statistics for 2002, Singaporean women give birth to 1.37 babies in a lifetime, down from 1.87 in 1990. Since a replacement level of 2.3 is required to keep a country’s natural population stable, Goh Chok Tong has elevated baby-making to a national priority. If the fertility rate continues to decline, of course, an increasingly small number of young working people must support a growing elderly population, straining available resources for health care and other social services. Singapore is concerned about its fertility rate not only in terms of an impending economic crisis, but also in terms of a national security risk. In fact, Singapore recently introduced female soldiers as a way to fill minimum personnel quotas for its armed forces.

Well, in a way, S'pore is in quite a similar situation as Israel. Of course, no where near as bad. So it's not a bad idea, actually.
Besides, the ladies nowadays are just as 'independent' and 'empowered' as the guys. So obviously, they'd want the same treatment as guys, right?
-
no need girls. we have top secret gundams with GN particles.

girls can serve operational roles. ns is not all about chiongsuaing.

Yeah, I suppose so. Probably used to relieve soldiers' stress.

Guys go NS have a lot of break ups with gfs liao. If girls join NS also, no guys want, lead to even more single people out there. Which leads to lesser couples and old liao nobody want. Less marriages then less babies! NS is a vicious cycle. LOL
