  • Today I met a viewer who is half Singaporean & half Japanese who is currently serving National Service (military). He has an interesting profile - he lived outside of Singapore almost his whole life! Not many Japanese know Singaporean men who turned 18 have to serve the military. I myself did not know much about military either, so I decided to ask him some questions regarding NS. In return, I gave him a mini tour of China Town and made his stomach full with delicious local food.

    Very proud of this young man for coming back to serve, even though he has only lived in SG for 3 years in his entire life. Yet he returned when duty called. I wish him much success!

    This definitely needs to be an ongoing series with Asao-san.

    He should have a good grasp of hokkien vulgarities by now.

    He is rather mature for his age and he is cute :) He is so blessed to have you as his friend. He is handsome. You should include him more often in your video.

    I respect this young man for going through NS like the rest of us. Even though he only lived in Singapore for such a short time. i would think that the parents view Singapore Citizenship to be valuable to hold on to. so they encourage him to go for it. Unlike certain people who Benefit for a long time in Singapore then called to serve only to Leave the country. Best wishes and stay safe !

    I think it's always an interesting point of view to look at for people like Asao-san. I had one guy who was half Korean in my bmt unit and he had to serve both armies (we all just patted him on the back and told him good luck). My ns unit also had a half Tawainese and to be honest, it provided a very good perspective on our military service from someone who wasn't born/ raised here.

    I am a Half-Japanese too and I’m currently serving National Service as a BMTC Trainer. I grew up in Singapore and made many friends here. I would say that I really love my time here especially with the people I have met. To keep it short, the communal living with my friends and the experiences made through the journey.

    My nephew, born in Singapore went to Finland to grow up, came back to serve NS last year, still in Artillery is considering staying here for further studies after his NS. Saw him as a timid boy nervous about going in for service, now a confident Artillery operator. Fully acclimatised, well almost, Singaporean. 2 years in his early life to get this experience is priceless. The period in their lives where they need to learn how to grow up to be independent and resposible. It's priceless! Good on him, Asao-san! Wish you a good experience in NS.
