What? You can't handle 3 months and now you want to do 2 years?

Great... just when you think the 19 (or is that more?) deaths is enough for the government to wake up and considering to either revamp the NS program or canceling it all together, in comes our DPM saying that "3 months is not enough".

Heck, we can't even handle 3 months worth of training and now you want to extend it to 2 years? Look at all the problems plaguing the NS programs. Bad facilities, unexplainable trainee's death and bad handling of transportation are just one of the few major problems. Don't even get me started on the quality control of the NS trainers .

And there you are asking “Are parents willing to make a sacrifice (and delay their children’s graduations)? I suspect it will not be easy to persuade parents". Unless the NS program improve, I don't think it's their children's time that parents' are unwilling to sacrifice but their children's lifes instead!
