A friend of mine lives somewhere there near, Singapore I think (if I am geographically correct ), and he says the army is very tough and restrictive. Is that true?
Singapore is to the south and yeah, it's near. (Wow, one point to George!)
Tough, I would like to think it is, but it's just me being bias because I hate it. XD Seriously, it's not that tough if you are taking my course. We only learn military stuff once every week (Military Discipline, Battle Strategy, Type and Specification of Weapons, Communication) and only have to get one week of bootcamp training for the whole 3 years of lessons so nothing really that tough.
For conscript though, it's defenitely tough. I believe the first 3-6 months will be with no leave and constant drill-training, but I think it's normal for every conscript army to be a bit tough on members.
I'm not sure what you means by restrictive though....
