Ministry of Defense
Review our approach towards National Service
Following the recent death of NS men, some people have called for abolishing national service. They asked - do we still need national service?
My reply is - we do not need to make a drastic change. We should not swing from one end to another.
Here is what we can do:
a) Full time NS to be one year
b) Reservist duty to be 3 years.
This follows the practice of most countries.
It is not the worst case, but we do not need to be the worst case.
We can have a credible defence without spending too much money and harming the future of our young men.
