National service - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Secondly, national service serves to foster racial harmony among the Chinese, Malay, Indian, and other populations of the country by requiring all males to go through similar experiences and thus being able to identify themselves to a common purpose of protecting the country. National Service describes a form of military service where all members of one particular nation can participate (voluntarily or non-voluntarily.) According to the CIA, comprehensive national service incorporates the Army, Navy and Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard (Coast Guard is a peacetime, civilian service) and all these branches are controlled by the president. In Great Britain, National Service was the name given to the system of military conscription employed in Great Britain between 1949 and 1960. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/National_Service   (815 words)

Malaysian National Service - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The rationale for National Service was to bond the youth of Malaysia together and create a Malaysian nation, as the problem of racial polarisation was found to pervade educational institutions in Malaysia. After the 2004 pilot batch completed their National Service, the youth wing of the MCA (Malaysian Chinese Association, Malaysia's largest ethnic Chinese party), on behalf of themselves and 8 other Chinese-based youth organizations, issued a memorandum to the National Service Training Council calling for more non-Malay trainers. Malaysian National Service, or Program Latihan Khidmat Negara (PLKN) was first proposed in late 2001, brought to committee the next year, and finally brought to action in 2003. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/National_Service_in_Malaysia   (1140 words)

National Service, Barisan Nasional Service and National Disservice He hoped that national service would create citizens who are less chauvinistic in their relationship with Malaysians of different ethnic groups. This is imperative as there has not been sufficient national debate or consensus as to the real purpose and objective of the national service, although the Cabinet Committee on National Service has proposed that all Malaysians reaching the age of 18 be required to undergo six months of national service. Secondly, it is not correct to say that the Chinese and Indians “deserted national schools” leading to greater polarization among the races, as in the five years of secondary education, the overwhelming majority of the Malaysian students, regardless of race or religion, undergo the same schooling together in the national secondary education system. www.dapmalaysia.org /english/lks/nov02/lks1939.htm   (739 words)

Malaysian National Policy : Azman Mohd. Yusof's Short Essay It is a prerequisite to the future competitiveness of the nation to ultimately accomplish the success of Vision 2020 by establishing a balanced social economic policy for the multicultural societies according to the Malaysian outlook.

National service an assault on our liberty - Malaysiakini Compulsory national service is the single most audacious attack on the liberty of Malaysians since Merdeka, second perhaps to the New Economic Policy. National service in Malaysia is not comparable to that in other countries.

Malaysia: National Service - Serving the Nation or the Govt? Aliran is deeply disturbed by the government’s indecent haste in pushing through the National Service Training Bill (2003) during the present session of Parliament without giving parliamentarians and the public sufficient time to debate the proposal, which has far-reaching implications for the youths and the nation as a whole. If the government’s professed concern is to arrest the apparent increase in ethnic segregation particularly among the youths, then it begs the question whether ‘national service’ - which, among other things, would include military training - would really serve that purpose. In such a situation, primitive sentiments override patriotism and national unity. www.aliran.com /ms/2003/0617.html   (478 words)

Malaysian National News Agency :: BERNAMA KUALA LUMPUR, March 15 (Bernama) -- The authorities should look beyond the "Tak Nak" anti-smoking campaign to other communication strategies in curbing the trend of young Malaysians to take up smoking, President of the International Medical University, Malaysia, Tan Sri Dr Abu Bakar Suleiman, said Tuesday.
