Talk:National Service Training Programme (Malaysia)

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)

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: Johnleemk | Talk 16:05, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * 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?

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

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.

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).

Injuries besides fatalities?
Come on, this summer camp has cause 16 REPORTED fatalities. Isn't it strange there is NO injuries report? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.93.185.42 (talk) 05:55, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Isnt there anything positive to say about this program??
I came to visit this page to look for information, but found a highly biased and politically inclined narration of the writers. While we all can agree there are plenty of improvements can be made on the NS, the views here are highly biased and directed to show how the national service is another of the existing govt's mistakes. Can anyone add any statistical or factual accounts on the positive impact of national service to Malaysian youth, and please do state sources? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.53.89.98 (talk) 12:21, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

i wanna know whatb is plkn all about —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.48.147.2 (talk) 05:49, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Program Latihan Khidmat Negara, "National Service Training Programme" in Malay. Google it next time, you lazy bum. - 60.50.240.234 (talk) 09:09, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Proposed move
I would like to propose a move for this page. Usually, a title that needs disambiguation would have the disambiguating element in brackets, and "Malaysian" or "Malaysia" is not part of the programme name. I think we have three options: I would go for the third option. First option is fine too. -- Joshua Say "hi" to me!What I've done? 04:28, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
 * National Service (Malaysia): The most commonly used term when referring to the programme is "National Service". "(Malaysia)" is added for disambiguation.
 * National Service Training Programme: The official programme name, translation of Program Latihan Khidmat Negara. Used on the official government website.
 * National Service Training Programme (Malaysia): Same as above, but with "(Malaysia)" added to avoid confusion with National Service Training Program (the Philippines).
 * Since there is no objection, I am going ahead with the third option.-- Joshua Talk to me What I've done? 02:57, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
