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.

Place blame on too many ex SAF Ministers in the Cabinet, they are trained in one tract mind, NS to them is cast in stone, cannot make changes one.
They feel proud sending warships to threaten a Malaysian civilian boat with the Johore Mentri Besar on board in neutral waters.
Such childish provocative behaviour is unbelievable,
