Yup... thats me... parents took me out of Singapore when I was 12(but registered on the military service list), paid a bond which they have now lost because I didn't go back and spend 2 years of my life there when I was 17... I went to uni instead and graduated.. but I became a citizen here when I was 14... but doesn't matter... I'm a criminal there, so can't go back... not that I really want to anyway...
It is a stupid rule for a tiny dot of a country...
I have a friend who did the 2 and a quarter years of his service and before he could finish, he had to come back to Sydney for his uni exams or something, so he came back, missed the deadline to go back to Sinagpore and is now in the same boat as me... and he actually wasted his time serving in the national service...
Anyway, so I know I can't go back, which is why I feel like I should back off so my friend can have his bucks in singapore, but then he really wants me to be there, which is why he came up with thailand
