I thought Leong asked a simple question, "what % of new citizens do not serve NS?"

It is a simple question.  I read the entire article with many accusations against Leong for misleading statements ( that were never stated)...but the question he asked was never answered.

Singaporeans are require to serve our reservists until 40yo so on what basis foreigners below 40 are exempted.from NS?

Also minister said foreigners don't have to serve as they did not receive benefits....NS is not an economic transaction. If a Singaporean stayed  overseas from young and did not get any benefit ...he still need to come back to serve.

I disagree with what minister said.....his reply was unsatisfactory. He was more focussed on attacking leong for posing a question
