http://www.tremeritus.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/National-Service-300x170.jpgApparently many people in high places think so. In the news
today some are talking about giving the NSmen a stake in country to fight and
die for? Just wake up huh? When we first became an independent country, not yet
a nation, the first and foremost thought in the minds of the founding leaders
was to give the people a stake here through home ownership. That is as simple as
ABC. But through the years, people got lost in the maze of money and decided
that citizens need not have a stake, like a flat in the country, to want to
fight and die for the country. The NSmen are so daft, just order them to fight
they will fight even if they don’t have any stake here.

How many citizens who have done NS are deprived, banned, from buying and
owning a flat from HDB but forced to buy from in the resale market, and allowing
foreigners to make a pile from them? Is this not sickening? Who forced our
citizens to make foreigners rich by buying their public flats just to have a
place to live? Why are citizens deprived from home ownership in their own
country, the country they are to defend and die for while foreigners and new
citizens could happily buy public flats?

No, the NSmen are not daft. It is the policy makers that are daft. And they
still think that they could enjoy the good life, living in sprawling landed
properties while the NSmen would be so daft to fight and die to protect them.
The NSmen today are as highly educated as the daft policy makers. Many are even
more qualified than them. You mean these highly qualified NSmen cannot think
like those fools?

Why are many highly qualified Sinkies leaving this island? Dunno, don’t want
to know? And some think they are very wise, to go overseas to attract our
citizens to return to this island. What can you offer them to return? Why should
highly qualified Sinkies return to pay a ransom for a dog’s kennel call private
condo when they could use half the ransom to buy a sprawling landed property
overseas?

Why would NSmen who are prohibited by law from buying public flats want to
fight and die for this country? So difficult to figure out? I think so, when the
brain is only the size of a pea. Fortunately, after nearly 50 years of sleeping,
some have awaken and remembered that this basic need for a home, for a stake in
the country is the foundation to build a nation. You cannot build a nation of
daft NSmen who have nothing and would be stupid enough to die for those who have
plenty.
