Military conscription. Compulsory for every male when he reaches 18 because of our limited population.

I served 2.5 years. These days, the government cut it down to 2 years 🤬

Every man in Singapore has to serve in the military 

Singapore sounds like a good place to start a family. Why did you join the military?

Happiness Journal 3/10/25

As an Armour Infantry soldier, I used to dread taking bus 975, which would transport me to my army camp, situated in a godforsaken part of Singapore.

Yet, today, I took the same bus with my children. Past my army camp because the dairy farm my son had yearned to visit was *further* from civilization than my army camp. 

However, no feelings of dread plagued my heart. I won’t say that I was eager to visit the cow farm, but I wasn’t rejecting the idea, either. Beneath feeding the cows hay lay something more gratifying. My six-year-old boy has things he wants to do to fill his free time. May he never lose this zest for novelty.
