The new citizens n PRs can choose their vocations while the natives are always excluded from certain vocations.
In fact, huge percentage of them (natives) are 'meritoriously' selected for vocation in SCDF and SPF.
That is the meritocracy PAP is lauding about. It's crystal clear that discriminatory practices occur in our defence system yet some denies it. In fact, some continue to 'assist' this cancer by giving complicit support to those responsible for this.
If the PAP cannot renew itself beyond LKY's Chinese chauvinist thoughts, and continues to rule by dividing the populace by race, they ought to be voted out. No two ways about it.
We need to progress as a nation beyond our skin colours. And the stumbling block seems to be the one from the whites!

Editor's Note: Under the new SAF Volunteer corp scheme, new citizens and Singapore PRs can choose from 17 different vocations such as Navy Specialist, Combat Engineer as well as C4 expert which are famously known as vocations that our local Malays are secretly banned from joining due to 'Security' reasons.
Do new citizens and PRs pose less of a security threat to Singapore than our locally born and bred Malays? What do you think?
