@mothershipsg: Our Mothership hosts Sulaiman and Olivia discussed why men have higher suicide rates, following figures shared by Defence Minister Chan Chun Sing during the November Parliament sitting. Between 2016 and 2025, an average of 10 to 11 full-time national servicemen (NSFs) died while in service each year. Of these, suicide was the leading cause of death, accounting for an average of about four deaths annually, followed by road traffic accidents. This is consistent with the broader national trend among males aged 10 to 30. The average annual suicide rate among NSFs was 0.009%, lower than the national suicide rate of 0.014% for males in 2024. Chan was responding to a question by Workers' Party MP Fadli Fawzi, who asked about the number of unnatural NSF deaths during that period, their main causes, and what was being done to reduce them. *Rishi will be back for the next episode #mothershipparliament

EFG :

Because NS is too long. South Korea which is technically still at war with North Korea only has 1.5 years. The SAF should review what they are so inefficient despite being the one with the most budget yet operates with the least transparency.

Better see a psychologist to get whatever conditions diagnosed before entering NS. Get a referral from any of the polyclinics. Before they summon you for the checkup, have all the documents ready.
