@straitstimes: Ever realised how much of our daily Singlish actually came straight out of National Service? From the office wayang king to that one friend who always spoil market, NS speak has made its way from NS camp into our workplaces, taxi rides, canteen conversations and group chats. Watch the video. What’s your go-to NS phrase and when do you usually use it? Tell us in the comments! Find out more in The Straits Times Signature Series: Sense of Belonging, link in post. This video is part of a special collaboration with Nexus (@connexionsg) – the lead agency that drives Singapore’s national education and Total Defence efforts. #NS #Singapore #StraitsTimes
