job security, cheap affordable public housing, cheaper vehicles.Originally posted by Gordonator:what exactly do we deserve?
I'd like to disagree with the concept of allowance in this case. I think barring major purchases like furniture television etc etc, a person's expediture per month will not change too much per month. So why does a private get a lesser amount of allowance than say an NCO. Does the SAF expect a private to require less than an NCO? I think when it comes to it, "nominial sum" would be a more appropriate term.Originally posted by elektra:jus being curious... (pls dont be offended wif my tone cuz im jus speaking my mind)
do u guys understand the meaning of allowance?
to my understanding... allowance is not pay mah... its enough for ur taxi fares+ catching movie in the theatre + nice food + handphone bill and for ur expenses on ur entertainment when u book out etc...
national service is an obligation and why does many people equate it wif money? u think all the labour, hardship our young guys go through is worth jus a few hundred bucks??? and u wanna compare doing sai kang wif the banglas?
i tot working in operations / doing sai kang in NS is a duty for the country .... and it's priceless.
if u as a guy, a sg citizen whom ur parents haf chosen sg as their homeland, refuse to do NS... then u expect the gals to hold the gunfire and fight?

bcuz NCO has more responsibilites than a private ? hence more allowance?Originally posted by fallin:I'd like to disagree with the concept of allowance in this case.
