Hi,
I am 35 years-old PEP holder. I applied Singapore PR through my wife sponsorship who is already PR.
Good news is I got IPA approval, bad news is I understood too late I may be eligible for NS full-time (2y).
Indeed, I would be considered as 2nd generation of PR (which I thought was applicable only to my son) and thus NS-liable as I did not apply on Work scheme.
I am currently main source of income of my family and I cannot see how I could stop working for 2y for full-time NS with no income and I don't see much rational for Singapore to invest 2y full time NS and serve only until my (too) soon coming 40y.
Even if I may be exempted NS (on MINDEF case by case analysis), I am not 100% sure and not really willing to take this risk for my family stability. Anyone has some wise advice to share ?
Thanks
