NS $1000 credits unavailable for PRs
Hi everyone. Know this horse has been flogged to death and back, but knowing that PRs wouldn’t be getting it really stings.
No concrete source apart from the NS HOME page stating that it’s for Singaporeans only, and the fact that me and countless other PRs haven’t received anything despite those that ORD in the same time did.
Call me a clown, but really did my best in NS for I actually saw a purpose in doing some of the stuff, and would say I decently enjoyed my time despite all the bs and nonsense.
And yes of course Singaporeans deserve the benefits and etc (I mean PRs fundamentally are not SGporeans at the end of the day), but after releasing the article saying for all NSFs and not specifying the nationality, and the fact that we all go through the same shit together for 2 years, I just feel quite cheated?
Planning to convert too, but really confused and sad by this decision. And worst part for matters like this is that it seems no amount of public attention/letters to ST/MP would be of use lol.
$1k cash credits
It was previously reported that with effect from 1 April, all full-time NSFs will receive an additional $1,000 in cash after they ORD, with this only being applicable to those who enlist into the army on or after 2019.
