Missing 2 to 3 weeks of lectures .(private schooling).
Most Private exams are Quarterly basis and Modules based. So ICT lands in any quarter bound to affect one quarter of exams and studies.
These are the losses NS can never compensate us.

agree
Sometimes it's not only about the (outside) force. And NS alone cannot 'kill' u, but only 'soften' u, they make u more obedient by installing the "do or die don't ask why" program in your brain.
The no. 1 killer in Sg maybe job/ career. No money, no honey, where got babies?
*It is A combination of ALL that is 'killing' us... education, housing, children, job especially, NS, IPPT /IPPT retraining + ICT + recalls, medical fee, bills, expenses etc etc... list goes on.
That's why so many Single 30+ in Sg... these people are "killed" or "dying" off. Have u hear of 'slow cooking the frogs' story?
Only those who got more money, can have babies and survive. The rest are waiting for extinction or replacements by import of INSTANT talents, PRs and families from China & india(whom are still in the dark).

Isn't this a great strategy 4 short-cut to economic improvement, save time & money, correct or not?
