Mr. Brown sings about the $9,000 for NS men

Listen to this song.

Kind of ironic. $ 9k only to be given to active and reserve NSmen. The govt should at least give something to ex-NSmen as a show of appreciation. It is NOT the money that counts, but the recognition of their past NS duties.

Here again, the govt is practising age discrimination.

Agreed with VS Lingam. A small token of appreciation would be welcomed but not really necessary either. But have to disagree on the age discrimination part.

There is no end if one demands schemes/rewards system to be applied retroactively.

What about when ICT is cut from 13 cycles to 10 cycles now. Want to demand compensation for the old bird who did 3 cycles more than the newer birds?

What happened to the 1970ish weight-lifting Olympian Gold(or silver) Medalist who did not get any monetary rewards that the young atheletes are getting nowadays. Ang Peng Siong would have gotten quite a substantial amount if the rewards were applied retroactively.

They just moved on with their life, anything more will be an added bonus, NO REGRETS.

I agree that there'd be no end if awards keep being awarded retrospectively. However, since it's S$9,000 over 3 milestones for current servicemen, I suggest that a fairer and more sensible way is to recognise past reservists still living today with a token S$3,000.
