The Deutsche Foreign Legion exist? Any webpage to link?
I think Singapore shoudl also have a Foregin Legion - Singapore Foregin Legion.
They can then send troops into countries like Isreal for UN mission and not scared any one die.

yeah... make use of foreign talents as cannon fodder..

It is illegal for ANY Singapore Citizen to be in any armed forces of any kind in any part of the world.
It's in our LAW. -
So there's actually such a law?

Is there a direct ban on joiining a foreign army? Or is it more along the lines of "you cannot bear arms against the state and its allies" and "you cannot join the enemy etc etc".Originally posted by saline:the singapore armed forces act.

Oh yes, I am a noob. You showed proof it is LEGAL to? No, you did not either.Originally posted by lwflee:There isn't AFAIK. But noobs ALWAYS assert that there is, without showing any proof.
Are you even a citizen of Singapore? You know it is against the constitution? Do you know penal code 125?
By telling people it is okay and denying facts stated, you are guilty of abetting offence too.
Sure I am a noob here, BUT I know better, what does that make you?
OMG! You are worse than a noob!
Sorry if you feel hurt, but the truth hurts mostly to people who DO NOT KNOW and still want to act smart. -
Sorry to disappoint you, but the law states that it is illegal to participate in any of the country Singapore is at PEACE with.Originally posted by lwflee:Is there a direct ban on joiining a foreign army? Or is it more along the lines of "you cannot bear arms against the state and its allies" and "you cannot join the enemy etc etc".
And we all know that Singapore is not at war with any country.
Use your logic. There had been recorded cases.
Anyway, a merc's pay goes accordance to his experience and training. Remember to give up your citizenship before you participate though. LOL -
Ok, the debate here seems to be geeting out of hand!
Any way, any one here knows where tosign up for FFL in Singapore? French Embassy? -

I do not need to show proof since I am not asserting a positive fact. You are, in effect, asking me to prove a negative, which makes no sense. Now calm down and show me the relevant parts of the constitution.Originally posted by point:Oh yes, I am a noob. You showed proof it is LEGAL to? No, you did not either.

The relevent part of the statue states:
You assert that the Singapore governemtn is at peace with everyone and therefore, you cannot join a foreign army. That is clearly wrong and besides the point; there is no direct ban on joining a foreign army.
125. Whoever wages war against the government of any power in alliance or at peace with the Government, or attempts to wage such war, or abets the waging of such war, shall be punished with imprisonment for life, to which fine may be added; or with imprisonment for a term which may extend to 7 years, to which fine may be added, or with fine.
You seem to take a very simplistic view of the law: first what is the definition of 'any power at peace with the government'? What is considered a 'power'? What is 'waging war'?
I will point to another flaw in your assertion - If france sends troops (including you) to afghanistan to hunt "terrorists", how can it be said that you are waging war against a power at peace with Singapore? That will clearly not be caught by the section. What if france decides to invade malaysia but I am in afghanistan hunting said terrorists? I think it would be difficult to show that you have waged war against malaysia. Moreover. do you think france, knowing of the law, is going to tell Singapore where you have been?
You mention that there have been 'cases'. Again, prove it and stop behaving like a bloody noob! You act as if this is the first time you have had to prove an assertion!
Btw: You seem, in my approximation, to have defamed me -you said that I have abetted an offence under the statute! -Gosh-! You are forgiven and I shall not be pursuing legal action. But you really ought to word your posts carefully. -
You have to go to Paris or Marseille. tehre are other places but I cannot remember.Originally posted by acwire_2125:Ok, the debate here seems to be geeting out of hand!

Correct.Marseille should be the recruitment center.Originally posted by lwflee:You have to go to Paris or Marseille. tehre are other places but I cannot remember. -
Watch your tone here. You may be new, but inside here, ignorance of the rules is no excuse to begin smacking people around.Originally posted by point:Oh yes, I am a noob. You showed proof it is LEGAL to? No, you did not either.

No matter if you are right or wrong, you should be less aggressive in your mannerisms.
Same goes for anyone.Let's have some cooler heads here. -
Ok, I telelphoned the French Embassy last time and they said if you want to sign up for the FFL, you can have a chat with the stuff in the embassy and the people there will give you more info about the FFL. I think they even tried to invite me to have tea with them! hah!
