Not all employers think like you do. Majority of them are utilitarian.Originally posted by TwilightZone:The fact that we are able to grow our economy, carry our heads high, speak with confidence, and stand up to much larger nations today is due in no small measure to our NS system.
Being one of the richest nations on earth and being tiny, we are a juicy meal for predators in this wild wild world if we do not grow porcupine quills.
So kudos to all our NSmen and our armed forces! You are respected and appreciated!
Investors (usually MNCs) who plough in billions of dollars in Singapore definitely think like me.Originally posted by iveco:Not all employers think like you do. Majority of them are utilitarian.
police is for internal disturbances , army is for external disturbancesOriginally posted by Relm:I was on the public bus yesterday and i over heard something which i find interesting. A guy, seems to be in his teens or 20s was talking about the difference between the army and the police with a girl. He said that the singapore police force cannot kill but can only inflict harm while the army kills. So when the army is called to move in, it means that it is an order for the army to kill.
He also said that the army was better for it could kill people.
I find the first part that is the first para amusing. I really wonder where he learnt about that. I doubt it is true. But apon hearing the second part (second para), omg. What was he trying to imply?
