why is there a debate about Singapore here?
for reservist, the govt pays the company for taking away their male employee for a period of 1wk-6wks every yr for a decade.
the downpoint isn't abt the money, it's abt the absence of the worker and who is to take over his duties while he's serving his reservist.
not just reservist, every combat fit male will have to pass a yearly physical test, failure of which will result in them attending 20 physical training sessions in the evenings, spanning 3months.
