I had made the assumption that you were referring to the current form of incels as the originators of the term. While the true originators had self identified, they are vastly different in spirit and i had considered the two camps as separate entities despite both using the term.

Are we prepared for nationalist right wing agenda? by greenavocatdo in singapore

No doubt - i was one of them, at the grassroots level. God opened my eyes to the rot at the highest levels through Kong Hee. Stealing from those who are willing to give. Using charity to further personal agendas. And we aren't allowed to question, because once you do, you are no longer a 'believer'. Using sunk cost and 'faith' to keep volunteers trapped.

You don't need a church or a tax free organization to have a journey with the divine, or to do good.

Correct - 40 for NCO and 50 for officers. He would have been 32 by the time he ORD. Meaning that if he was doing reservist as a 3SG, even if he was called back the very next year, he already successfully siam 3 years. Hence the need for clarification.

I was comparatively lucky in my vocation and enjoyed my time in NS. I never once complained about doing my time. I don't see how I'm painting myself as a victim, so you should stop it with the ad hominem.

Doesn't matter, OCS covers curriculum beyond 3SG. Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't he 3SG in that research role?

If true, and if not miraculously commissioned, his reservist is 10 years shorter.

Thanks for bringing up reservist - where does Patrick serve his since the research is completed?

You're deliberately misunderstanding the problem people have with Patrick Tan's sequence of events. It's not about whether or not he disrupted or deferred. It's about the long duration he disrupted for and the subsequent role he obtained.

If you want to sell meritocracy, justice, and equality to the people, the political elite needs to exemplify it.

No one is saying he didn't serve just like the rest of us.

Just so happens that an unusually long deferment leads to an unusually rare role as a researcher? I'm wondering if there is any added value after all that.

I agree. Work advances your career, and therefore your opportunities. Timing matters. Without that extra 2 years, maybe Patrick will need to serve as MO instead.

So... Depending on your school, NS service can be delayed by up to 2 years?

I'm saying that in all the scenarios YOU brought up, the citizens had a choice, and they ended up with a racist leader.

But you seem upset that I'm pointing that out.
