I know of a guy who's older than me who suffered financially because of NS.
His mother owned a chye tau kwey stall (the father had passed away before he went for NS) and was sick and could not man the stall. He needed to man the stall to continue getting income for the family. Kept asking for deferment etc. Never got it. Tough life. The mother was sick throughout his NS.
That was back in the 1980s so was kind of expected as Singapore was tougher then.
