I guess you believe in the law of equal misery, "I suffer in NS so I want PRs to suffer with me as well"?<br /><br />All these views reminds me of the famous breakfast scene in Reservoir Dogs. Mr Pink explains why he does not tip, <br /><br />"I'm very sorry the government<br />taxes their tips.<br /> <br />That's fucked up.<br />That ain't my fault.<br /> <br />It would appear that waitresses<br />are one of the many groups the government fucks in the ass on a regular basis.<br /><br />Show me a paper that says the government<br />shouldn't do that, I'll sign it.<br /><br />I'll vote for it.<br />But what I won't do is play ball."<br /><br />Thus, I believe the PRs share the same view, as Mr Pink, does towards NS.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2348464617577736454.post-7103137486928392212011-11-29T13:06:23.933+08:002011-11-29T13:06:23.933+08:00This is a very serious problem similar to AWOL if ...This is a very serious problem similar to AWOL if PR were to skip NS after enjoying Singaporean Tax reserves. If Singaporeans are charged under marshall law for AWOL, I see no reason why SPR are so priviiledged to received just a mild warning? Is Singaporeans and SPR enjoying differential treatement and the latter always get the best of both world that shortchanged our true borned native? By not disclosing data and statistics in full transparency and accountability, PAP is in great trouble. It can and will not be able to argue its way out for treating Singapore in such bad light - the hard truth must be told in place of LKY and son era.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2348464617577736454.post-77713981271033096522011-11-29T10:56:50.612+08:002011-11-29T10:56:50.612+08:00http://www.todayonline.com/Voices/EDC111129-000004...http://www.todayonline.com/Voices/EDC111129-0000043/PRs-who-do-not-serve-NS-may-not-be-at-a-disadvantage<br /><br />BUSTED!!<br /><br />"I know of (PR) renouncers (who thus avoided NS) who were admitted to the National University of Singapore's highly competitive medical school, to which, every year, some straight-As Singaporean students fail to gain admission.<br /><br />At a higher level, some renouncers have been admitted to speciality training programmes which are sought after by many Singaporeans and non-Singaporeans.

There's no point in dictating to nomads about loyalties, and i suspect that the gahmen had already extracted enough revenue from these individuals to outweigh the subsidies that they enjoyed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
