Did they say what is the Objective again? Make us feel more honorable or what? therealsingapore.com/content/saf-volunteer-corps-rubbing-salt-wounds-ns-liable-singaporeansAnyway, i read the purposes for SAFVC "This will enable women, first generation Permanent Residents and new citizens to contribute to national defence and strengthen support for NS. The volunteers will undergo a four-week course to gain basic military skills and values. They will be orientated to their operational and professional roles in the SAFVC. " Source: www.mindef.gov.sg/strengthenNS/the-saf-volunteer-corps.html#.VDut0meSyiEIn this case, they might have open a can of worms. If NCs and PRs can be trained as support in this short term with a choice of "vocation???", why can't we do the same. If not the same short term but why not shorter term compare to the current term? Won't this make Male Citizen who chiong mountain chiong sea feel unbalance?

The opportunity cost lost during the 2 years and another 10 years cycles for ICT. I work in a MNC and my team consist of 12 person and only 2 are male citizen. who need to serve ICT. It made us a big disadvantage when competing with them. Our manager will normally give lesser responsibility work to us because of the disruptions for ICT. I think NS is a must but it should be reduced to a year and ICT should be at most a week so that we still can compete in the market.

I totally can understand how you feel.
Especially when time is required to build wealth and career.
By law there had already convince everyone is a must to serve NS for the country but now, they allow a comparison which will bring more unhappiness for those who really and seriously need the time to focus on their business and career.
