First implemented by the British in 1954, amended in 1967 to provide a means to defend a fledgling independent nation, and codified into its present form in 1970, NS is a key pillar of Singapore's defence. Its significance, however, goes beyond defence. With over 1 million male Singapore citizens and permanent residents having served NS, and consequently involving many more — family members, friends, employers and colleagues — in different ways, NS is deeply woven into Singapore's political and social fabric. This volume brings together a range of scholarly perspectives on NS which explore its past, present and future in four sections: The history of NS, NS in practice, debates on NS and an international perspective. Comprising chapters by individuals from varied backgrounds, National Service in Singapore offers a broad account of one of Singapore's oldest public policies.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: SGContributor: Graham Gerard Ong-webb (Edited by), Shu Huang Ho (Edited by)Genre: Law & PoliticsAuthor: Graham Gerard Ong-webbRelease Year: 2019 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
