What do you think must be improved in our daily lives?

I don't think so. It's may only be problem for those who refused to serve with pride only.Originally posted by Nelstar:It constitutes even more problems in the country.

Perhaps you don't understand women. First of all, the time of the month can cause problems, and the pregnancy is another issue altogether. Secondly, one of the religions will definitely oppose strongly to reinforcing such legislation and cause a social problem.Originally posted by king108:I don't think so.

I don't think so, I think they are respectable since they are women. -
Ask the average women around you if they are prepared to serve equal terms in national service.Originally posted by king108: I think you had look down on woman... -
I had worked with many women NCO's and even officers (both infantry and service support). Still needed to ask?Originally posted by Nelstar:Ask the average women around you if they are prepared to serve equal terms in national service.
The only women that I respected most is my mum. Without her endangering herself, I wouldn't be here talking to you.
Hence, isn't woman great? Ask your mum. Can servicing army be more dangerous than having baby? I don't think they just wanted have fun. -

(I agree, but spare me the 9 mths.)
The women specialists, women officers are people who decided to join the force. They are not a representative of the females as a whole.
Looking at the increasing number of chao keng males in recent years, I believe, there would be similarly increasing number of women who oppose ns for females. Until you figured why we had 7 in a section instead of 9, you will figure that we'll be having 5 in a section instead of 7 soon. -
pls dun be ridiculous.
u'd see many females protesting outside the parliament or those current affairs programmes with jammed up lines -

If a guy can go to ridiculous means to keng ns...Originally posted by oxford mushroom:Ask the average teenage boy if he is prepared to serve national service if it is not compulsory
What's the point of having women, who can easily keng with many issues? -

What's the point of having women, who can easily keng with many issues? All these are the failure of our teaching and guidance given to the children given to them when they are small. Kids learn from their adult, unless you passed the teaching to the maid.
You set a good example, they followed you as the example. Do what you said, else they will started to say adult cannot be trusted.
If your character carried good, likely your child will likely to be the same if no better.
Don't give your kids a "bo cha" look, else they will "bo cha" you when you get old. -
I would like:
licences to be given out for home food businesses. Home kitchens can be equally clean and hygienic, after all we prepare all our daily meals there. Also give people like me with no money for rental chance to start a small business (rather than drive a taxi). -

AWARE will have their panties in a knot over this one.Originally posted by king108: Go for total defence. All male and female singaporean to be trained to handle weapon. You will have about 2 million of defence ready soldiers at anytime. Regular trained on technology and warfare.
Actually I'd prefer the women to be trained as ER nurses or paramedics. -
There are other one-off projects we can do without, for example: marina bayOriginally posted by oxford mushroom:Agree that the monies spent on Esplanade could be put to better use. But obviously the government thinks they can recoup the investment from revenues collected...we shall see.
I doubt better efficiency in management of tax dollars will solve problems like rising healthcare costs. Esplanade is a once-off project. Healthcare costs are recurring and will rise as the population ages and more expensive medical technology comes online. The cost of bringing a drug to market has also been rising and pharmaceutical companies have shareholders to please.
'renaming' project. Money flushed down the toilet bowl.
More attention should be made to improve our core sectors. In the 1970s, Dr Tony Tan saw the importance and capability of 'computerisation' to compete with the private sector in terms of efficiency. He felt that we were losing out to more organised and advanced private enterprises at a time when major govt bodies were still practicing filing of records in paper form. He managed to pursuade then trade and industry minister Goh Chok Tong to invest in modernisation of our industries and the rest as they say, is history.
Certainly, our education ministry are moving in the right direction, offsetting the rising costs of school fees by introducing all round perks such as top-notch sporting facilities and a shift to multimedia aids for classroom instruction, a step up from the blackboard and classic OHP of yesterday.
It would definitely be a plus point if taxpayer's monies are well-spent and 'rebated' back to the people in such a manner. -

You are right but there is also a negative side to this. My department had to sack alot of aunties (typists and clerks) who could not adapt to the new computerized system. One auntie could not type a decent document in WordPerfect (we were using that in those days) despite attending a few computer courses.
If Singaporeans do not upgrade their skills and move with the time, they will lose jobs. That is inevitable. -
We have ways to deal with chao keng...Originally posted by BillyBong:Then more NS men will chao keng...
Nurse, get ready to set 4 drips on him with the biggest gauge needles you can find and change the drip every 8 hours....
What...diarrhoea? Nurse, prepare full rectal examination with a proctoscope please.... -
have cleaner public toilets. step up on cleaning quality and frequency.
just a thought. -
We did see an improvement in one sector.
Government services. Last time they are very cocky... now they are more cs-oriented...
However, our private sectory are lacking badly and losing out in customer-service as compared to HK.
