Inflexible PAP government
All Singaporeans have had experiences of how inflexible the PAP government can be. But this story about a violin protege really takes the cake!
Schoolboy violinist Ike See is 17. He has obtained six music diplomas, all with distinctions and was the National Violin Champion in three categories.
Ike has been awarded a scholarship worth about US$28,500 a year at Curtis Institute of Music, one of the top music colleges in the USA. But Mindef says he must do his national service first. That's two years when he could have been groomed to be one of Singapore's top violinists!
Mindef says it is acting on the principle of universal equality!
I say that is balderdash! Rubbish!
What equality is Mindef and the PAP talking about when we can see with our eyes that there is no equality in Singapore. The PAP treats Opposition wards unequally with PAP wards.
You call that universal equality?
I say to Mindef: Don't ruin a boy's future career just because you have such inflexible rules and regulations. Give that boy a chance.
It's good for Singapore, especially when we are talking about being a more creative society.
Wake up, Mindef. Get some culture!

Why suddenly the morale high ground?
He should be treated same as the Melvyn Pianist? No? Why not?
Quit Singapore, that is the best solution.
I agree. NS is slavery! If you are going to die for your country's defense, or if your country is stupid enough to start a war, at least make it voluntary!
I think it is reasonable that if one is going to pay the ultimate price, it should at least be one's own decision; not someone elses.
Do you think you minister will go onto the battle field?
Bullshit.
Melvyn got a bashing in newspapers for skipping NS.
Now IKE wants to be deferred (until dunno when).
Again the public, wants "justice" and "flexibility"?
How can you be so contradictory at the same time? No wonder the PAP leaders are laughing at these childish acts and comments.
Make up your mind, you want flexibility (meaning Melvyn and Ike both can have their cake) or do you like hardcore rules (means Melvyn goes to jail and Ike goes to NS first)????
Shit, I sound like a PAP supporter now....
Enjoyed a lot! »
