famous lines to a famous song if u have ever been thru national service.yes...songs have and will always be a part of national service and though u dont need any musical or singing talent for it, u still can sing for yr nation.
so that fucker who,because of the need to further his piano skills skipped his national service,decides to come back after 30 years because his parents are too old to visit him in england and intends to hold a concert here soon....was just fined $5000 dollars which hardly burns a hole in his pocket.he'll probably get the money back from those singaporeans who will be stupid enough to go for his concerts and mutter suckers before he leaves.
y do u think people are so fucking angry with him?not just because he skipped ns u know,but seriously,its unfair that just because he is a world renowned pianist,he gets away with it,i mean come on,many would gladly give up $5000 to skip ns and think about it,there was this guy from my camp who awol-ed for 16 months and surrendered himself and was thrown inside the detention barracks for 2 years.
mind you,this guy didnt awol because he wants to learn how to play the piano better,he awol-ed because his mom suffers from depression,his dad is in prison and his girlfriend is pregnant and he cant survive on the $450 the army pays him and thats why he awol to work 2-3 jobs just so that he can pay for his mom's medical fees and the costs of having a new born son.The thing is he came back on his own accord after 16 months after his problems are settled and was promptly thrown into db for 2 years.
where is the fairness in that?
personally,i enjoyed ns.i wouldnt pay $5000 in exchage for such an experience but then again, ns also changed my life a hell lot and its not fair that people can take it lightly and pay $5000 just to not do it.Its an insult to national servicemen all over the nation.
i nearly died 3 times in the army...
i ended a 2 year relationship with my then girlfriend because of army
i could have been in my third year in university instead of first year
and never once did i complain that its the army's fault but for this guy come along and did wat he had done is just a total insult and humiliation.
is my life,my time and my relationship,the lives and time of so many others and so many relationships worth a mere $5000?
i dun think so
but the judge certainly think so...it just doesnt seem right for the judge to imprison him for 3 yrs because he is a world renowned pianist who probably pays $5000 just to buy a toy for his kids.no no no...to the judge and the upper class it seems perfectly alrite i guess but if its u and me,i guessed we would already be squatting in mowbary(dunno if i got the spelling correct) camp now.I guess the judge will probably be at his concert sipping champagne with him after that.
it just sends out a signal that its not worth it to defend your nation anymore..."u guys are just cheap labour but if u are a world class pianist u can escape with a mere $5000"
y should we even bother keeping ourselves fit?
y should be do our best for each ict?
y should we respond quickly to mobilisation?
y should we bother to kiwi our boots?
y should we even care?
i know...
cause i dont have $5000 and i cant play the piano for nuts.
