"It's really just the motion".... I feel you bro....
NS gave us only one mindset:
Don't think, just do only.
Do what it takes :) conquer everyone around you no matter what it takes :)
I was a slave for 2 years. It was legally against my will. I did not get any salary or pay for my work, only an allowance for my time.
Enlistment Act Over Enslavement; National Service Versus Individual Will. Good Pointer; The Question Arises: Why Aren't we Paid Salaries for Serving the Nation Instead of Meager Allowances? What's the Rationale?
@@shuaige15-ue7sh protect Singapore? Hello even if the all whole of Singapore do NS, what war will we win? How will we defend our country? Tiny red dot on the the map against giants like Korea, China, Russia..one bomb from these countries its lights out for SG
@@NJ0711 Actually, you're not wrong. If a 1 megaton bomb were to be dropped into the middle of SG, everything except for maybe Changi and Jurong would be wiped out. Not to mention some places outside the blast radius will be heavily affected by lethal doses of radiation or third-degree burns.
@@shuaige15-ue7sh cibai u think I want ah
@@shuaige15-ue7sh I pay my shit I pay the fucking tax for the gov and what do I receive waste my two years? While other people oversea already finish their uni I'm still here wtf
I'm 2 weeks away from my POP!!! And from the same company in this video!!
Bmt, most fun i had in a while
Itulah perbezaan yang amat besar daripada singapore dengan malaysia. Untuk buatkan satu video pasal NS mereka merakamkan tiga-tiga bangsa sekali dan mempamerkannya. Interview yang begitu solid daripada ketiga - tiga keluarganya. Saya respect . Soon as possible i pray to god that everything will change and come to a peaceful state and put a full stop. From Malaysia . Sayangi Malaysiaku ....
THE UNCOMMON GRIT
I'm a South Korean with a high possibility of being conscripted something like 2 years from now (Just like Singapore, South Korea conscripts male citizens)
On the internet, I have seen many people complaining about the South Korean army like "The army ditches soldiers when they die or get injured", "It's a waste of time", "Soldiers are treated like slaves", "At the army, you get to know how little your life costs" and all those complaints are haunting me
A few questions about the Singaporean army:
1. Does hazing exist? (Are there incidents in which soldiers are beaten by their comrades to death?)
2. How much are Singaporean conscripts paid? (My cousin who served from 2012 to 2014 was paid something like $167 per month when he was a sergeant. Luckily, the pay for soldiers has gradually increased, so in 2022 sergeants will be paid like $800)
3. Is the Singaporean Ministry of Defence bashed for concealing hazing incidents? (Because that's true for OUR Ministry of National Defense)
4. Do Singaporeans go like "NS is 2-year slavery" as well?
5. Are there TVs, computer rooms, or grocery stores in the Singaporean army? (There are in the South Korean army currently)
6. Is the meal tasteless? (Lots of Koreans say so about ours)
7. Is the SMD bashed for propaganda?
8. In South Korea, mainly if you serve for the Ground Force, in the boot camp there's a stupid rule which forces you to move around in groups of 3. Does the Singaporean boot camp have something like that?
Hi, I finished my service on May 2018 as a Corporal in the Artillery
1. Hazing is a relatively rare thing nowadays, rarely heard about it in the Singapore army. You heard about stories but most deaths are due to training or negligence.
2. A recruit is paid around S$560, and it scales all the way to the highest rank a conscript soldier can be which is a lieutenant, paid around $1260. Thats just the base pay, you can still get addtional pay by going into a combat unit(S$100-300), getting risk pay by being in a dangerous vocation like EOD (S$100(?))
3. Like stated in point 1, hazing is relatively unheard of. But deaths used to be concealed till now where there is social media so deaths are widely known for the most part
4. NS will be slavery if you think it is, everyone has to do it, some have it easier than others. For me, I found it ok mainly because the people and my superiors are nice.
5. In Singapore, you get to go out of camp to home every Friday and come back into camp on Mondays for most people. As Singapore is a small place so going to home takes 2 hours maximum. So there is no need for computer rooms or TVs, we can still indulge tin those leisure activities when at home during the weekends.
6. Yes, some meal is tasteless, sometimes the meals are good. After boot camp(BMT in singapore), when there is permission,we can call in delivery from outside like pizza, McDonalds, KFC etc
7. Sorry what is SMD? But there is propaganda in the army for sure haha
8. Yes boot camp , everyone has to do things in a pair called the buddy system. But if you don't do it, just hope you don't get caught :)
Hope I answered your questions
@@sexkinger 2. In 2017 sergeants were paid like $257. The South Korean Ministry of National Defense really used to lack in respect for soldiers, it seems (And in 2012, when soldiers were paid even worse, the Constitutional Court even declared such low pay was constitutional) Glad the pay is gradually increasing
4. Then do some meet nasty people and superiors, and have it harder than others?
5. For us, it's not like we get to go out regularly... it would be nice if the South Korean army adopts that
6. We have a kind of grocery stores in the camp. Do you?
7. I meant Singaporean Ministry of Defence by SMD
@@김지원-v5o Jiwon Kim 4. Yeah there are some nasty superiors but they were not there for a long time, only temporary. Only made us do some push ups and jumping jacks though.
6. Don't really have grocery stores. Only maybe a canteen to buy snacks
7. We dont called it SMD, but rather MINDEF(Ministry of defense). Yes they do get bashed for propaganda sometimes hahaha
@@sexkinger Wait, I forgot something. What I heard is that Singaporean conscripts get like $9000 and other rewards when they complete their service. Is that true? Here in South Korea there are NO such rewards
@@김지원-v5o When you complete your service, you get like I believe minimum 2000 dollars in your CPF Medisave (Something like a health account) and 3000 into your PSEA(For further studies). If your rank is 3rd SGT and above you'll get 3500 in your PSEA instead. So yeah technically you get minimum 5000 when you finish your service. After our service we also have a yearly reservist where after your service you have to go back to camp about once a year(for up to 5 days to 40 days). Completing some reservist(maybe around 3-5 years of reservist activities) will get you another 3000(CPF OA) and 2000(Medisave), completing all your reservist duties(which can take around to ten years or more) will get you another 3000(CPF OA) and 2000(Medisave). So in total , i guess from your service ends till completion of reservist, you'll get in total 15000. I guess its better than nothing.
Yang Pertama dan Utama
Love my NS days.... miss it badly after MR
im just 10 and im really scared to go NS service
@@premsingh-yi4dg ya agreed
Terrificten I think you will be jailed for a specific amount of time, or you will be forced back to Singapore to enlist in NS, I mean, escaping is not a good thing, you cannot escape it for some time, but not your whole life, I’m 12 currently, though I would say that I’m frightened to enlist in the National Service in the next few years, but it doesn’t mean like you will die in National Service, I do think that at this age, we shouldn’t be thinking of enlisting National Service yet, what we should care is about our Education, and the paths we want to go.
hyper PLAYS u will be more scared when u are 16, 17 or 18. Depending on where U go after Sec school, ur age that u will enter NS will vary. So u might be able to train up before NS
hyper PLAYS : don’t be scared. Many have gone before you. Serve with pride. U will be fine. 💪💪
Don't worry, it's like going to school but in terms of physical. I think of it as protecting my family, you can leave Singapore but what about your family?
NS is equal to me we can learn survival skills and a bit of money what else does all these siao people one ah knowledge of the nature is the best gift
Can I ask why the BMT graduation is being done at Leaders square in Pasir Laba?
Adly Hakim Bin Nasdian is a BEAST!
(RESPECT) BLOOD SWEAT RESPECT #FOR SINGAPORE 🇸🇬🎖️
Rawdy! Cool to see Bronco coy get featured in the video
The person's name is REC 'blu blu blu' i guess that what their parent call them too.
Is it a new thing to don the cap for recruits?
No it is not
Nice production. Great work :)
miss my BMT days..
I am from India. I too wished I had compulsory military training for 2 years.
There is this thing called volunteer... Go volunteer for military in your country and say again if you still wished it is compulsory.
@@Kruxxy see, the thing is, I'd like it compulsary because everyone from India would be in it, not just me. Now, it'll just be me if I volunteer. People will think if I am crazy or something to randomly join the army. That is why I wanted compulsary training. It might even be a little more lenient if it is compulsary.
IM IN THE VID AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Ah bing ge
Is that mandatory for all the students?
Yes, unfortunately.
Yes, fortunately
Yes, unfortunately fortunately
here's the worth on an army conscript.

Will you still be forced into te army if you are 70 kilos?
Yes
But you will have to join the fat people
Lol 70 kilos is still combat fit
70 kilos is light

Brainwashed
NS sucks. Abolish this.
Modern male slavery
@@seanlardner5611 it's only that when you think that way
Let your country control your soul!
No choice have to serve. Who in the right mind would want to give up 2 years of their lives to serve an nation that despises them? (Eg. Shaming nsf for sitting on public transport, mocking nsmen and nsf alike)
