A Discharge from the National Service

We braved the torrential rain from Kajang to Beranang in our 15-year old Proton Satria to bring our daughter back from Kem Khidmat Negara Millenium yesterday evening. Apparently the managers of the national service got cold sweet and cold feet over health issues and decided that those having asthma or even childhood asthma should be discharged soonest.

My daughter had this condition and so along with 20 other participants they were sent home pronto. So she bade farewell to her new found friends, took a couple of photos and we went on our way.

I need to contact the national service hq to have an exemption given so that my daughter will no longer be called again for such programmes in the future.

Looks like there is more thinking to be done by the planners of the national service programme to prevent such hiccups in future.
