Ns and Citizenship

recently, my friend was talking about singapore citizenship and national service.

and here is the conclusion on how u can "run" away from ns if you are a singapore citizen

Dual citizenship is generally not recognised in Singapore[7], but is possible under certain circumstances. Singaporean citizens who acquire citizenship of a foreign country after the age of 18 may lose Singaporean citizenship[6]. Foreigners who naturalise as Singaporean citizens are required to renounce all foreign citizenships.[6] Minors who are dual or multiple citizens by birth on foreign soil, by descent from foreign parents or by naturalisation before the age of 18 are required to renounce all foreign citizenships by the age of 22 or may lose their Singaporean citizenship[6].

The prohibition of dual citizenship is a contentious issue in Singapore. As the economy becomes more globalized and Singaporeans more mobile, many Singaporeans have acquired foreign citizenships and reluctantly renounced their Singaporean citizenship even though they may feel a strong emotional attachment to Singapore. Immigrants who have been resident in Singapore for long periods and qualify for Singaporean citizenship may be reluctant to become naturalized citizens as it would mean giving up the citizenship of their native countries. Those who are dual citizens at birth may find it unjust that they are denied their birthright to citizenship of other countries where they were born or that of their parents. Male dual citizens are also not allowed to renounce Singaporean citizenship after the age of 11 and before attaining majority at the age of 21, such that they have to serve National Service at the age of 18 for a country to whom allegiance they may almost immediately abjure.[8]

The government's rationale for not allowing dual citizenship is that Singapore is a young and vulnerable nation which cannot afford to allow its citizens multiple allegiances which may be compromised in times of national crisis. Citizens without a second citizenship may feel aggrieved if dual citizens enjoy the benefits of citizenship during periods of wealth but leave the country in trying times.[9]. Nevertheless, the government is open to the possibility of allowing dual citizenship if local and global circumstances demand so.[10]

officially missing you.







im officially missing you

i miss the 68kg me
i miss the fitness that qualify me as a lifeguard
i miss the days where we can chat all night long
i miss secondary and poly school years
i miss those fun we had when we get together.
i miss meeting up every weekends without any hiccups
i miss gaming with the same few despite doing almost the same thing every time
i miss activities after work, which made me look forward of going back
i miss doing all those stupid things when we were younger and dont care about consequences
i miss all those freedom
i miss playing as a team
i miss being close and going for supper every now and then
i miss rushing to not be late and looking forward to meet up as soon as possible
i miss the raindrops on my face, and yet still smiling
i miss missing you every other second

and
im officially missing you
