In that case as M'sia we should have a headstart in terms of income, since most SG men forfeited 2 years of their working life for NS. and also since SG women only see $$$$.....win, win situation....for us

OK wut. you and the wife can have that romantic "omg i'm going away to the army, plz don't miss me too much"

then on weekends u can come back and have mad sex

too fat need to stay back in camp over the weekend to run extra round until you are fit.

all the benefits without actually having any risk of getting shot in the head.

There are risk, tank/truck overturn, morta round exploded etc.. just that not much reported.

btw any of you east-coasters wanna try this all you can eat ala carte seafood lunch? no idea how good or bad it is, under $30.

Not accurate. It actually be all PR must serve NS, unless you are exempted.

if you like to play words, yes I the first gen PR also must serve NS and I did received NS enlistement letter years ago which stated I am exempted. In short and practical language, first gen PR dont serve NS, Fit second gen PR need.

http://www.ica.gov.sg/page.aspx?pageid=151
Spouse of an applicant would seem not to have this exemption.
if you are too new to singapore or you are too old they may not enlist you. They can't count on you to protect their nation as you are not so "singaporean". You stand a risk that you will turn your gun around when SG fight with your home country.

Oh I forgot... unless you are Gurkha, LKY trust them more than young NS man to guard his house.

Companies contributes that extra percentage to your CPF fund. Unless you can invest your money and make more money using the money you take home, its better to dump the money into CPF. It helps you save and avoid spending unnecesarily also.

either posb or dbs is good enough.

posb has more atm all over singapore, but indirectly it's the same as dbs. most people go for posb - from the people i know..
for credit cards, i would recommend citibank because they're open 7days a week - mondays to sunday, until at night i think around 8pm.
for working people, it's a lot more convenient if we need to go to banks sometimes.
