[edit] Song copyright status

Erm...what is the copyright status of the song? Did the government release it into the public domain? If they haven't, then including them is a copyright violation. Johnleemk | Talk 10:36, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

We could make it fair use. __earth 11:46, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
I doubt the whole song would be fair use. Johnleemk | Talk 16:27, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] about Copyright

I found out that this page was copied entirely from here. It was licensed under GNU Free Documentation License there. Is this legal? Squallwc 05:55, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Questions and updates

This page has not seen an update regarding the release of the conscripts' names. Nor does it directly answer key questions such as:

  • When will conscripts be notified of their being drafted?
  • What options are available for deferral or cancellation of one's draft?
  • What about youths born or currently residing overseas?

[edit] NS during the emergency

Shouldn't we have something about this? Johnleemk | Talk 16:27, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] about the criticism of the programme

can you people not simply add the problems area? most of the problems of the training have been solved. to those who simply edit the article, have you been selected to join the training yourself? so, stop adding lies because you don't even know whats it like in the camp! what do you mean by increasing numbers of fatalities and casualties? as i know, the number of deaths and casualties are small, around two unpredictable deaths per year only. and yeah, you do know that trainees with special cases like pregnant or poor will be exempted. and also, as a trainee, you can choose not to use the M16. btw the M16 is for sissies. its so easy to use and feel like a toy gun, just a bit heavy. its not a bit dangerous!its safer to use it than doing other activities like jungle trekking or even going to the toilet. please be considerate and not so paranoid.

[edit] About the fatalities during the programme.

there has been 12 fatalities since this program started and there's only seven reported here. can anyone put in about the other fatalities? i'm sure in the year 2006, one of the trainees died because of fighting. Anyone have more details bout it? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 219.95.9.50 (talk) 11:16, 8 May 2007 (UTC).
