u got a point there. many under 21 who diducated 2 years of their life to NS should get something out of the progress package. your contribution is definately more worthly than any 21 years old girl as what u said. afterall, $100 is not a big sum anyway.Originally posted by jianfish9:I mean I am 18 and I chiong sua and sweat blood for the country yet some girls who are just 21, never even serve a day of NS can get like 800bucks.
Of course I not happy. You mean I not contributing as much or even more to the country?
End of the day, isn't it about being able to vote? Only 21 and above can vote.
After all, NS is taken for granted. Votes however are more valuable.
18yr old doing NS is taking up much more responsibilty than some 21yr and no NS I feel.
Stop whining, Last time NS 2 1/2 yrs. Now 2 yrs.Originally posted by bismarck:again i find it ridiculous that only 'adults' get it
so those nsfs under 21 dont 'progress' ? yet we are trained to kill ?
i cant help but link irony of the 21 age to NS training. it cant be more explicit.
1 year then may as well don't serve. for a cadet to get commissioned alone took 1 year.Originally posted by Ito_^:i want it to be one year!
Do you think singapore played a part in what bangkok is today? As in the current past few weeks.Originally posted by Shotgun:Sorry, I go out of point a bit...
I think we are quite lucky to get the progress package n the NS bonus thing.
Look at our neighbours. They don't give out money to their ppl do they? Instead spend their money half-c0cked on some crooked bridge idea. End up, spend the money le, decided to call off the bridge.
I'm quite thankful that sg gov doesn't go off half c0cked on stupid ideas... at least , not that we know.
Don't worry, in the event something happens, you're the last to go, we reservists get to face the brunt first.Originally posted by binkaboink:16 1/2 years old, u r old enough to die a gruesome death in a war fighting for Singapore, but not old enuf to enjoy the fruits of the economy, cos u r not old enuf to vote?
