What I gather as of now and I stand to be corrected.

Enforceability of Singapore judgments
Following the enactment of the Reciprocal Enforcement of Commonwealth Judgments Act (Cap. 264) and the enactment of the Reciprocal Enforcement of Foreign Judgments Act (Cap. 265), judgments of the Supreme Court are enforceable in Hong Kong SAR, as well as in most member-countries of the British Commonwealth.

OK here goes from what I gather
1. Most countries apart for Israel, Australia, UK and NZ allows their national to serve in foreign armed force. UK. OZ and NZ is due to their strong bond under the crown
2. The French Legionaire consist of many foreign nationals and the only one that accept foreign nationals as they are basically mercenaries army of the French Armed Force. They are not inducted to the French Army per se but they represent France in wartime. Debatable from my undertanding
3. Indonesia, Taiwan, Japan, Malaysia DOES NOT allow its citizen to serve in foreign armed forces be it in peace time or war. Once you did that you will lose your citizenship.
4. Singapore allows peace time arrangement with several countries on their military exchange . Countries in participation are US, France, Israel, Australia, NZ, Thailand, Taiwan, Indonesia and Peens. Most of us when doing peace time training overseas will put on that country uniform. Hence this is more of military arrangement between countries but a tricky one I guess
5. During war, SG citizen has to serve SG Army period.
6. Since the war on terror began, many nationals who fight for the Talebans are considered as terrorist by many countries hence punishable by imprisonment or death.
7. I cannot get a definitive answer from my circle of friends but reading between the lines , you cannot serve any overseas military in your own capacity prior the approval of Mindef . You need to apply for EP too.
8. The Constitution states clearly that SG citizen has to serve its own armed forces and dual citizen of foreign nationals has to be drafted into National Service as SG holds your right over your foreign one. It is like you have to opt out in writing albeit renounce your SG citizenship if you do not want to be drafted.
OP , you posted your questions in other board too and no one has a definitive answer for you. Please remember you are treading on thin ice here as it affect both civil and military prosecution.
I advise you to seek clearance from MINDEF and MHA before leaving. Yes there are people here who have serve both country army. I do not encourage you to do this without prior approval from the relevant authorities. If you chose to go ahead without one, do it at your own peril
