National Servicemen with special talent
There are some National Service men with special talent who need special consideration while doing their National Service. Some want to pursue their career as a pianist for example. Can MINDEF look into how they can help these men do their National Service and at the same time be able to practice in their career path? This will be like killing two birds with one stone. Let's not lose Singapore's talent while we keep on taking in foreign talent. Singapore needs to help and nurture our own talent. Musicians like pianists have delicate hands, those who want to become surgeons have delicate hands too and so on. So pianists who have already reached a certain standard when they enter National Service can be considered Special Talent. Anyway with technology there is a need for more brains than brawn. Perhaps MINDEF can form a group to study into this and maybe introduce a Special Talent Group in MINDEF that can help National Servicemen do their National Service and at the same time help them to achieve in their talent. This will also give incentives to people to nurture their own talent so they can get special consideration while doing their National Service. This will also lead to enlarge our own Singapore's pool of Special Talent in Singapore.
I hope MINDEF will look into this immediately.
