u wil only need to work for jpa for courses like med and dentistry lah...others they dun need u one...they even tell u u can gain exp in that country before come back...and u come back to serve the country...not abt the bond...and if u r goin for med and dentistry, the bond u serve is a very good chance for experience what...so just accept lah...be a good son/daughter...=)

and if u dun feel like serving the bond for jpa, just pay back!...personal choice actually...
