WP Gerald Giam: We should raise the NS pay

[DulanMax]

“One of the things I did mention during the budget seatings is that we should raise the NS pay,” Mr Giam began. “Currently it is not pegged to inflation, although the NS allowance is meant to reimburse the national service men for the expenses that they spend outside of camp for example taking transport, food and all that… I argued that it should be pegged to inflation because inflation has gone up a lot, and NS pay hasn’t,” he explained.
