KUALA LUMPUR: The proposed National Service Training Programme (NS) 3.0 will not involve school-going children, says Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin.

The Defence Minister's assurance came after considering the parents' worries that school-going teens would have to undergo harsh military-like training when the programme was eventually rolled out.
