National Service (torture camp)

5:10 AM by amir meister


National Service

Its 2009 and no more honeymoon year for those who were born in the year 1992.
Oh wait! I'm not saying that because of the SPM examination!!!
I'm referring to the fact that more than 70% of us will be chosen for NS!
YES,National Service or more commonly known as Torture Camp
Imagine after struggling for 11 months in form 5,Oh sorry,11 YEARS OF STUDYING,and you are suppose to attend a torture camp that will magically change your perception on your life. Balderdash i would say!


Some baloney facts about NS:
-if you were to be chosen for NS,you will receive a message saying congratulations ,you are selected for the national service camp!
-the advertisement on TV shows them having fun and smiling throughout the camp!!'Talking about media superhighway gimmick'. 

What's wrong with they who must not be named!!!!Don't they get the point that we do not want to attend this stupid pointless camp!


Pros and cons of National Service!Sorry,I cant find any pros!

From the start, the National Service program has been fraught with irregularities and indiscretion from 
the objective(integration purpose or to train the youths for future military action??whats the point??)
to the selection process(even school dropouts and married ones will still be chosen)
to the readiness and facilities(lack of clean drinkable water and properly cooked food)
to the safety of the trainees(lack of medical facilities and emergency response unit)

There is no point of attending this stupid program as it only provoke the youths to attempt criminal activities in order to escape from this stupid pointless 3 months program.At least that is what i'm planning to do.

Ways to escape from this tragedy and pursue your studies instead of attending National Service!
-cut of your limbs
-commit suicide
-attempt a murder and go jail
-fail SPM and apply for matriculation(not a bad choice)

By making this program compulsory,they are somehow unintentionally provoking the younger imprudent youth generation to commit crime in order to escape from this program. Besides, a perfectly normal student would rather not get straight A's and enter matriculation just to escape National Service.I know i'm being a bit irrational but as bad as it sounds,it really is that bad and we cant help it'.

Our young kids should not be made into sacrificial poultry(chopped chicken) to a policy that seems to have been plucked out from thin air and hastily put together and run without adequate planning and preparation in the name of national unity and security. Parents should have a say whether or not they want to submit their children for such camps where there is no telling whether their precious ones would come home dead or alive. I seem to recall somewhere in the star newspaper reporting a 18 year old girl who actually died in National Service camp due to food poisoning. We are talking about our promising youths so full of optimism and hope for the future. Planning, Professionalism and Proper Implementation need to be in place for something of such scale and importance. Precious lives are needlessly lost due to the negligence of those in charge. Who is to be made accountable? the government?national service trainers??the youths themselves??which bloody individual or organization is to be blamed?The authorities will definitely be in denial and refuse to take the necessary responsibilities on the consequences if any misfortune were to happen. Brainless buffoons i should say.

The program should be put to an immediate halt before more lives are lost! There must be transparency and accountability in the way we do things in this country. People are getting very weary of the careless and care-less attitude of those put in charge of important projects of national interest. If parents are not confident with the way the camps are run and not given the trust that their children will be save, they have every right not to send their kids there. The authorities or even the government have no right to make it mandatory or scare people with fines or jail terms . Unfortunately, our sloppy government administration will never give in as they are locked in an uncivilized cage and will never look forward towards a better future of our nation. And what rights do we have to put a eternal halt or even suspend this ineffectual program?by writing post using blogs??I certainly don't think so!How much tolerant can we be to withstand this pressure any longer.I know i cannot stand this anymore.

So,parents,students,gays and lesbians!!! Let us all place one foot forward and take all the necessary actions to stop this problem.I haven't really figure out the solutions yet but who cares. The problem is bad enough and any other alternative will be an improvement.
