Joining the army is a logical thought process for her to potentially help obtain a Citizenship. Given her age, I would imagine it's quite difficult for her to get an SC, assuming she loves Singapore and would like to settle here. I also don't think she's married , so it would make sense why she joins the army especially if she's laid off.

Thank you Koala for volunteering with the SAF but I'm not sure that I agree on your comments that you did "all the things that the NS people would do". Your induction course is a 2-weeks stay-in training. Mine was over 52 weeks long. You enjoyed your training while some from my units self-terminated. I suspect it took MINDEF a year to get back to you partly because of overseas background checks. A locally-born female applicant would get a response way faster.

It's not even a real country. It's sort of a Walt Disney park, a bigger park than usual, of course. Singapore, Luxembourg, San Marino, the AUE, Qatar, etc. these are artificially created Athens-like city-states, from some eclectic congregations of very rich individuals and corporations.... most don't produce any thing on their own; and all of them depend on the sweats, tears, and suffering of extremely EXPLOITED FOREIGN workers ("guest workers") to baby sit their kids, to cook for them, to wipe their elderly's butts, to build for them, etc. Real countries are the messy, big ones that may STRUGGLE on many fronts but which are able to grow most or all of their own foods, produce their own teachers, plumbers, doctors, engineers, etc... real countries --- as opposed to Disneyland types of big theme parks ---- are those able to build big & small factories & companies, able to invent technologies & construct or manufacture computers, chips, missiles & cars & planes & satellites, etc.

Singapore is such an unique country that is able to produce TOP notch brilliant students & intelligent ppl to run the country too!! 🇸🇬🇸🇬Singapore students also ALWAYS TOPPED IN THE WORLD FOR INTELLIGENCE,READING, MATH & SCIENCE. That’s why Singapore is WELL KNOWN for that & been ranked MOST intelligent country for many yrs!!🎉🎉NONE of those countries u mentioned are considered intelligent countries EXCEPT Singapore!!❤So, are u awake now or still living in diff planet?🙃 What guest workers? U mean those ppl come to work in Singapore are all doing FOR FREE?😂🤣LMAO.. So when they do cooking, cleaning, building houses etc all are considered as “intolerable” chores for them? 🤣🤣Oh Wow ..Oh ya so they must be so stupid to work in Singapore for HIGHER salary & their country “actually” can provide “more” opportunity for them to work🤭🤭..Wow…u are so clever to think this way, bravo to u👏👏So everyone else so stupid except u can tell that by giving them jobs in Singapore is called exploiting them?? HAHAHA🤣🤣 Have u actually talked to the workers? Who invited them to come to Singapore? Hello? Excuse me, they all come to Singapore voluntarily & many would pay to come to Singapore cos they know SG can provide the income they can NEVER dream of having back home, that explains why average foreigners work in Singapore for 10-20 yrs, some even 30yrs cos they LUV TO WORK IN SINGAPORE & for as long as they can!! There are so many countries in this world, they can choose to work elsewhere too if they want but they chose Singapore!! Nobody pointing gun at them, so what the fcuk is wrong with u by twisting fact that we are exploiting them?? Are they working for free in Singapore?? 🙄Exploiting my beautiful a*ss, u jealous piece of sh*t…🥰 Singapore is such a systematic & well run country that even takes care of foreigners with proper laws that help protect their safety too, so why the fxck u put us the same level as those other countries esp comparing us to the middle eastern countries??!! Are we muslim country governed by Muslim laws?? If u are being exploited by them that’s ur problem, don’t come here & start accusing Singapore is doing the same as them. Go get a better life pls in your own REAL LOUSY country.🥰 That’s real country for u HAHAHA❤

She is wearing a beautifully embroidered yellow dress of cotton comfortable material. This dress could only be bought at the place she visited. You can't buy it at any shopping center around the world, not branded, but beautiful. You'll appreciate its uniqueness and beauty. People who have sharp eyes like the top fashion designers or the managers of the garment factories, chief merchandisers or purchasing managers will notice its beauty. Wealthy women love this type of dresses with laced outline. She resembles Sally Yeh, faithful wife of George Lam, a good woman who appreciated George Lam's help. Why are you still waiting?

To me, her(Kola) story doesn't adds up. Single, Travel 200 countries, consultant, quit a $200k job, studied couple of degrees, wrote books, an US citizen, her accent also doesn't sound American, come to Singapore to sign up for the army to serve as a soldier. I don't believe everything she said, sorry. What is her real reason to do that, nobody knows? Is she trying to get Singapore citizen or PR in the fast lane, if so is she willing to give up her US citizenship for that, i don't think so. (very few would) Trying to stand out to get more view for her own YT sub ? Maybe, that would be crazy if true, but IDK. EDIT : I just saw some comment here, i think one nailed it, she joined a 2 weeks NS course but make it sound as if she had signed up for NS, WTF. She is such a con.

It is incorrect to say that Singapore PRs do not have to serve National Service. PRs who turn 18 are called up for NS. Singapore must be the only country in the world that conscripts foreigners into its armed forces....

Where did Miss Koala grow up? Where does an American learn to speak with a sort of Singlish accent?
@Hllee6428
@Hllee6428 12 днів тому
I doubt her accent is due to Singlish influence but rather the accent she grew up with in America among her immigrant family/neighbourhood (the ethnicity of which she prefers to keep private, I guess). I can see why she likes Singapore which is often misunderstood as a non-English speaking country just because they do not have typical Western sounding "native" accents ...just like herself.. I suppose it makes her English sound less "pidgin" in comparison. (I mean she has even made "comedies" about Singlish in other videos).

NS 1971 - 1974, trained with faulty frequent jammed AR15 from felled GI in Vietnam War, Ceylon rice with rats' heads, limbs and tails, in forested and jungled heavy commandos' mosquitoes caused very sharp pain on you, filtered dirty drinking water from rivers, illogical insane punishment from CSM or RSM burnt your weekends, missed your girlfriends or your parents. Cooks used dirty smelly socks to filter coffee or tea for SGT, CSM, RSM, Officer who burnt the weekends of cooks. The foods tasted bad. We were not so well educated like our parents, suffered in silence. NS boys were majority pai kia, ah beng or ah huat, thugs, uncouth, frequent fist fights to resolve dispute, made us tough badass today, strong immune systems to withstand most kind of food. It's a blessing after all the years of torture in NS of 1971

Several billionaires and many millionaires choose to live in Singapore for good. However, the property prices in Singapore are high. Singapore isn't suitable for people who love nature or enjoying living in the mountains 24/7 staring at seas all year round. Lives are priceless and invaluable; thus, a good quality medical healthcare and a hygienic environment are priorities of most wealthy people. Singapore is an extremely hot and humid city, summer for 365 days a year. Singapore is a melting pot of many different people and cultures from all over the world. Literally, Singapore has people from 190 countries living or working here. Renting a bedroom or an apartment in Singapore is high, including HDB. Fortunately, the public transport, MRT & Buses, are affordable for many. One can have an affordable breakfast, lunch, dinner or supper at the hawker centers or coffee shops. Singapore is suitable for people who love the city life. The reliable public transport system covers 90% of Singapore and the taxi fare is also affordable. Just get married to a Singaporean man will get you a PR, have baby, to get the Singapore passport.

National Service helps to shape young men to be better men during formative years before adulthood. It is impossible to shape each and every young man. However, to be able to achieve 90% is considered a success, harmony, peace, prosperity and tranquility for all of us here and all around us. Our forefathers made a wise decision.
