Mad Scientist, sundaymorningstaple & taxico,
This is the reply I received from CMPB today. It seems like there's no way I am going to be able to get an extension. I requested to liase with Wendy/Susan in my previous email but they did not acknowledge that
1. You have been granted the deferment till 21 years old, pending renunciation of your Singapore citizenship (SC) on the understanding that you intend to renounce your SC upon reaching 21 years old. MINDEF does not grant deferment for University studies. Those who wish to pursue University studies will have to complete their full-time NS first. Therefore, you are not eligible for further deferment from full-time NS to pursue your University studies and there will be no further extension of exit permit for you. We are unable to grant you NS deferment till Dec 2015 to complete your University studies
2. You are required to submit the application for renunciation of your SC to the Registrar of Citizens (ROC) via email:
[email protected] for their consideration when you reach 21 years old on 4 Jul 2015. You are required to submit the documentary proof on your cessation of SC. Once you have renounced your SC, you will be no longer liable for NS.
3. However, if you intend to retain your SC, your current NS deferment till 21 years old, pending renunciation of SC and exit permit will be revoked. You are required to return to Singapore and report to Central Manpower Base (CMPB) for pre-enlistment documentation and medical screening without delay. You will be enlisted for full-time NS in the nearest possible intake.
Yours sincerely,
MS YUM KAH LENG
