OK my bad wrong spelling on the name
Dr. Ng Eng Heng
Therefore, MINDEF will only grant deferment for pre-enlistees to gain their basic educational qualifications of ‘A’ levels, polytechnic diploma, or below. This is reasonable as most of our 18 year old NS enlistees would either have completed their basic qualification programme or are about to complete it. As university degrees are considered higher educational qualifications, deferments for university studies will no longer be allowed. This new policy for deferments has been in place from the end of last year.

The positive thinker sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible.Yahoo !!!
I think you misunderstood me. I say the op can defer his university study, not his NS. I knew the policy long ago (I was there when the policy rolled out and my juniors were kbing the whole time even though they only need to serve 2 years.) You probably read too fast and thought I said defer FOR university study.Mad Scientist wrote:OK my bad wrong spelling on the name
