Blame his parents, not Singapore. There is literally a brochure available from CMPB that shows how to correctly emigrate and void the NS obligations. Getting onto a plane and just flying off is not the correct method. He's been in Australia since the age of 9 by my count; he could have emigrated and avoided NS if his parents had just picked up the phone and called CMPB before they left Singapore. It's NOT Singapore's fault.laaussi wrote:PNGMK wrote:Yes. Encourage him to man up and do his NS. Nothing else keeps all options open.
Its not like he would not do it at all. If he really has to, he has no choice. Of course he is a bit intimidated and reared differently in Australia. But don't you think it is a bit unfair for someone who has not been in Singapore for more than 10 years and is Citizen of another country to not give him the choice to choose if he wants to join or not? He feels Australian and wants to build a career and then he will be ripped out of it for something he does not even want to do and where he feels no connection to it at all for two years? Don't get me wrong we both hold high regard towards your culture. Moreover I am not really sure if I am even allowed to stay and work in Singapore for that amount of time.
Thanks for any help and advice.
