Groups split on NS after nine years


PETALING JAYA: Nine years after its inception, Malaysians are split over whether the National Service programme should stay or go.

While Home Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi wants NS to be made compulsory for school-leavers, some public interest groups say that too much money is being spent on the “national summer camp”.
