AWOL means that the night before you go clubbing then next day dun want to go back camp. Defaulter means you go to Australia clubbing then never come back. Two different things.Originally posted by kopikid:AWOL any difference?
a NS defaulter is person most probably has migrated(after age of 11) overseas who fail to register or enlist for National Service, or fail to return after his exit permits expired.Originally posted by kopikid:whats a defaulter?![]()
In another word, if a 10 year old Singaporean boy's parents happened to decide to emigrate upon PR approval, then the boy becomes a NS defaulter by default on his next birthday.Originally posted by ns_cabut:a NS defaulter is person most probably has migrated(after age of 11) overseas who fail to register or enlist for National Service, or fail to return after his exit permits expired.
however most defaulters have no choice but remain singaporean overseas as they can't renounce their citizenship unless they have completed NS. They also face with 5000$ fine and or 3 years jail on their return to singapore.
nope, as long as they apply to renounce before he turns 11, and if not, apply for a deferment until he is 21.Originally posted by qpicanto:In another word, if a 10 year old Singaporean boy's parents happened to decide to emigrate upon PR approval, then the boy becomes a NS defaulter by default on his next birthday.![]()
But isnt the first medical checkup around age 16+.Originally posted by LazerLordz:nope, as long as they apply to renounce before he turns 11, and if not, apply for a deferment until he is 21.
then again, MINDEF needs to take a reality check and realise that they CANNOT penalise a man for what he has done while he is still a minor under his parents' charge below 18.
there was a guy in my bmt in that situation. he left singapore for aussie when he was 5-6, he basically grew up in australia. he came back to do ns just so he could renounce his citizenship. but he didn't know that if he chose not to come back, his citizenship would be annulled automatically. next time he steps foot in sg, he'll be considered an aussie citizen.Originally posted by qpicanto:But isnt the first medical checkup around age 16+.
So when he reaches the age of 18, they expect him to return to Singapore to serve. Then whilst his parents are still working overseas, he would have to leave his parents behind to find a place to stay here in Singapore by himself whilst serving out his liablities
