Criticism of National Service in Singapore focuses mainly on the notion that National Service causes males with service obligations to fall behind their peers academically, and the actual likelihood of an attack of Singapore and the survival of the nation in the event of one.

Description

Academic reasons

Most males enlist after completing their tertiary education (at ages 19-20 for Junior College students, and 20-21 for polytechnic students, barring those who repeat an academic year in either institution).
