Fact: All Singaporeans males are required to serve NS for 2 and a-half year. Wrong, make that 2 years now.
Myth: Army life is very TOUGH. Anyone who has experienced army life in the last few will tell you that it is not that “Xiong” anymore. Max 20 push-ups, Food with better taste, cleaner toilets, (don’t ask for too much).
Miracle: Celeb pianist, Melvyn Tan, managed to escape with a fine ($5K), no jail term.
End Result: He Kena one time Jia Lat Jia Lat (meaning he really got it bad, real bad), receive all kinds of criticism, felt the best is to cancel his sell-out concert, withdraw as a music contest judge and return back to his adopted home, London.
Hey, grow up Guys. Yes…You there. The one who endure 2 years of camou cream, mosquito bites, smelling No.4 uniform, foot rot, crew cut during BMT.
Yes, Grow up.
Just because you went through it, you want others to suffer like you do.
Just because you are going to ORD, you have to tease your recruits (REC ORD),
Just because you get back your pink IC, it doesn’t mean much, you still have 10 years of reservist.
We have given NKF a chance. Pamela Anderson gave Tommy Lee plenty as well. Melvyn Tan sir, if others have not forgiven you, I have.
An acclaimed musician deserves recognition from his countrymen, and we should give him and the system a chance.
I rest my case.
