I don't get anything as I have already ROD many years ago ...

 

Still, I am happy for our current NSmen ... any $ from garmen better take... don't take, also must return somewhere somehow sometime ...

So in the meantime, besides BB bonus, an extra $100 can be used for a dinner with love ones and propose to start a family or get married ... oh ya, $100 probably can't get a good engagement ring... :D

Then some minister will come out ask if you want a perlini silver wedding ring, poh heng wedding ring or a cartier wedding ring......

I have served in NS and I support that all citizens must serve the nation. We serve not because of that extra $100 or perks but because it is our duty to serve.

 

However, just because citizens have to serve does not mean the time spent are not properly utilized. Don't treat NS as free serve and make these young men performance tasks that you would have engage cheap labour.

 

For events, you may want to consider mobilizing schools rather than NS. If NS men have too much time, then shorten their NS duties not just to clock that 24 months.

 

The other issue I have with NS is, nobody should be given deferment. All deferments must be published. If it is your duty, why should individual be given special treatment?

 

If we don't protect our own nation, who will? The sensitive question is PR. Do they need to serve in NS? I am in the opinion, NO. But they could serve in other forms.

Personally I feel PR should be treated as transient labour. Use them for what they are intended for. Give suitable amount of incentive to keep them engaged. That's it. there is no need for them to serve in any other form other than economic contribution.

 

If you want further benefits, consider downgrading to the citizen class. that comes with the responsibility to serve.

My engagement ring (which also doubles up as the wedding ring) is 110 per set.

nice sheen and color.

 

tungsten material is tough...from my rudimentary understanding, they are used to strengthen drill bits etc. Also the famous tungsten filament bulbs.

 

I guess it has more meaning than the usual soft gold or platinum.
