National service a universal obligation posted on Tuesday, January 24, 2006

I REFER to Mr Pavin Limanont's letter, 'Let those who intend to emigrate opt out of NS' (ST, Jan 18).

All male Singaporeans are liable for national service (NS). This universal obligation to serve, including the appropriate way to deal with those who default, was debated fully in Parliament and reported in the media, including The Straits Times.

Should Mr Limanont or his parents have queries on his specific case, they may contact the Mindef Feedback Unit on 1800-760-8844 or at mfu@starnet.gov.sg.
