National Service

How can this be amended or improved further to alleviate the problem of dodging?

National Service had been identified as a hassle to most of the male Singaporeans. Especially when citizens of the age of 18 have to serve NS.Since 18 is the age of where students finish their JC education, preparing to embark on their University journey. Thus, this distraction of NS affects many people, especially in area like losing interest in studies, meeting and mixing with wrong friends, hence NS could be seen a infectious disease, affecting and changing the lives of many Singaporeans. National Service may be seen as a method to promote the so called "Singaporean Identity", which is in fact just propaganda. This facade is to just let Singaporeans have a wider social circle, hence leaving a sense of nostalgia if they leave the countries for further studies, and this sense of nostalgia will prompt them to come back.
This problem of dodging NS is highly prevalent in Singapore Society. This society possess the characteristics of selfishness, thus many would not actually absorb and understand the use for NS. Hence, many would want to avoid and dodge NS.
This measure must be taken to alleviate thee problem from the current situation seen. It can be solved if NS was just flexible. If NS was flexible and allow people to take it after JC or they would also have a choice to take it after their tetiary studies, hence, the problem of dodging will be lesser as they do not have a need or a purpose to leave the country.
However, there would definitely be a group of people who just find serving NS a chore, a manual task. Hence to solve this problem of the group of people we can actually just make NS a framework where people could choose several option, opting for the post and the places they would like to work in. Not only will this promote more bonding between the group, the sense of closeness between buddies would also evoke the essence of nostalgia.
In conclusion, to solve the problem of people dodging NS, we just jave to com,promise and follow their needs and wants.
