For your information, me had also given my two and a half years of National Service to the Singapore Armed Forces... And me also dutifully and proudly served my country...Originally posted by OO_OO_OO:this thread is bullshit.
if not for that 'forced labour', you might not even be sitting comfortably in front of your comp right now.
I wonder are Taiwan, Israel, South Korea on the list?Originally posted by dork3d:Everyone on Singapore understands the purpose of National Service but on international level, some committee still thinks Singapore has forced labour due to our National Service system... Cos these people don't see the things we see in Singapore, thus having a long termed instilled mndset on our human rights...
Yes there are also on the list...Originally posted by Hogzilla:I wonder are Taiwan, Israel, South Korea on the list?
ok so? its internationally known fact, we are lacking of human right, let me highlight to you, if you was to sue the state, even you win the case, you will not have any form of compensation at all, do you think its fair, dude its in the new paper.Originally posted by dork3d:For your information, me had also given my two and a half years of National Service to the Singapore Armed Forces...

What me trying to say is that on international level, people still mistaken for our National Service committment as a form of forced labour and some local politicians are making this as an issue to attack Singapore's human rights...
Israel is the biggest culprit of all, if not for US backing, and their VETO rights, UN might have put sanction on them long time ago,Originally posted by Hogzilla:I wonder are Taiwan, Israel, South Korea on the list?
They forgot to mention that Sweden also have that type of 'forced labour' against the Russian threatOriginally posted by dork3d:Human Rights International failed to acknowledge Singapore as a forced labour free country as their conclusion is that our National Service is a type of forced labour...
