A man in Singapore was recently arrested after evading national service for 29 years. It was revealed that the man used an Indonesian passport to enter and exit Singapore multiple times in an attempt to avoid his conscription duties. Authorities detected irregularities during his most recent entry and arrested him on the spot. Singapore strictly enforces its national service policy, and evading service is considered a serious offense.
This case has sparked public attention on the conscription system and border control measures. The Ministry of Defence of Singapore stated that it will continue to strengthen efforts to track down evaders to ensure national security and social order.
