When the boys reach the age of 18, they have to serve their National Service. When the boys are young like those in Primary 1 and 2, it is still acceptable and understandable for their parents or caregivers to help them carry their heavy schoolbags. However, these boys should take it upon themselves to carry their own bags when they are older. Hence, I was appalled when I saw the picture of a domestic maid helping an abled-bodied young man in a striking army uniform carry his bag while he was walking and checking his mobile phone.
Personally, I think children these days are overly pampered and they have become very lazy and dependent on others. We should not let others help us carry our bags. It is really inappropriate. If the foreigners in our country see this, news will spread to other countries and they will have a bad impression of Singaporeans and our National Servicemen. It will also tarnish the country’s good image too. I hope that any man who wears the army uniform will be more conscious of his behaviour whenever he is at public places.

From my opinion,the guy should really be carrying his own bag.Its irritating to see maids,carrying the child's bag,while the child jumps and leaps about or playing with their handphones.If i were were in the guy's shoes,I wouldn't even want my maid around!Wait,i don't even HAVE a maid!Its better anyway!Kids are all spoilt nowdays.I guess i'm spoilt too...by kpop?ROFL!But seriously,we need to have lots of independence when we are growing up.I know,that guy's just lazy and spoilt.From the article,I also understand that maids work/take care of you,but not in this manner!So PLEASE,be independent!^-^
i think the man is irresponsible in his acts.The maid won't be there to do all his work in the army.The maid won't be there to pitch the army guy's tent,would she?? I think the army guy is very pampered like a baby.The maid should take action and teach him to be a man.The army guy should not go N.S. if he is that pampered.If i was the maid,i would have thrown his bag on the floor and quit the job of bieng the maid.Please leave a comment.Thanks for reading!
I think the soldier should carry the bag, and not his maid, because the soldier is old enough, and independent to carry his and what's more, he is a soldier! but he still ask his maid to carry the bag.Why do I think he should carry his bag, because he is a soldier, and soldiers always depent on themself, and not others. I think this is a big disgrace to SIngaporean soldiers, as a soldier,we should train to have discipline, stamina and agility, and the last is, what if people were like him, the whole of Singapore will be as lazy as a pig, and just let their maids to carry their own bag!and if that happens, Singapore will be a lazy island.

I think the NSmen should carrt the bag as,why are they even in NS?To be fit,strong soldiers!If he is on war,the maid will not be with him,and he must carry his own bag,not walking and SMSing away!If other country see this,maybe they would invade singapore!Hope he will learn his lesson and NOW he will carry his own bag and show respect to singapore!
the matter is quite minor actuly I think they sould not be alarmed because from my opinion this matters are quite common in singapore I also see it very offen and to add on,children are more pamper than the newspapers thinks I have seen in my condominium they just cry for what they want and they get it! also,I can see older kids don't get the same treatment .trust me,I've tried it out myself we just cry for our stuff but we don't get it!I just don't get it.
The army man should carry the bag and he is fully dressed in uifrom which represents his country,Singapore.
It is his duty to render assitance to the younger, older,sick and weaker people even forein maids.Therefore, i am of the view that the army man should show his responsibility since he youn and strong.This will also groom him to be more proffesional in carrying his own burden in the event of own disarters or war.It is very unfortunate that chidren/young people of today are so spoilt anD lazy that they need a maid to do all tgeir chores.I will carry my ownload as a form of respect to my country.
OMG! This guy is bringing shame to the country!Why is his maid carrying the bag instead of him?We all know that going to the army will help the guys be more independent.But we dont see it happening here.He is already a man. He should carry his own bag.When he is at the army the maid is NOT there to carry his bag for him.Even if you are a man going to army and your bag is heavy you still have to carry it yourself.By carrying your bag yourself you will leran how to be more independent.
I think the 18 year old boy should carry his own bay and not ask his maid to carry the bag.Because he is 18 year old and know how to carry.One more thing we also know how to carry our bags but why he did not want to carry his bag.The maid is paid for doing housework and not came here to carry the boy bag
The man who is in the army should carry his own bag, after all, he IS the one responsible for it, if he can't bring it himself then what's the point in him, being in the army? The maid shouldn't br helping him with the bag :( he is very spoilt. In war, his maid will not be there to carry his bag FOR him! He is too pampered :/ He should be embarresed! How could his parents be OKAY with that?? They should lecture him, doesn't it bring shame to they're family? If I was his parents I'd be embarrased! Mostly the father! How shameful of him, letting his maid carry his bage for him! :|
I've read this article about this national seviced guy who asked a maid to carry his bag for him! Darn what a shame! like what my mother use to say "shame! shame!" I think he should be the one who carries it! Seriously how does he sleep at night! He is not a child. I think if its his bag,He is the one who is sopose to carry it! If i was him I would be ashamed at this terrible thing! I Would not do that if i were him. Anyway the whole thing about national service is to groom the boys to become men! And here, a maid is carring the bag! What an ambarrasment well I think if aunty lucy was there, im sure he will say "so ambarrasing!" (the aunti lusy part is a joke)
i think the man should carry the bag as he became a man from the army but asking his maid to carry that heavy bag is a shame for him as a man.
I think it should be the guy carrying his bag not the maid because it is his own bag, he should take responsibility for his own things and the maid won't be always there to carry his bag.
He is already 18 years old and yet, he still needs his maid to carry his bag for him! He should at least say sorry to his maid.
Such a shameless boy!
He's parents must have been ashamed that their son does not know how to carry his own bag.

I think the boy should carry the bag .He is going to national service to learn to be independant and to protect our country.A person like him should be able to carry his own bag and if the bag is too heavy for him it must be even more heavier for the maid.A maid is for doing house chores or other stuff when no one is around and even if the boy is going for national service he should help the maid.if in war no one will help him because others have to help themselves .If now he doesn't help himself in war he will be in trouble.He is so lazy if he doesn't want to listen no one can help him anymore.He is already 18 yet he still needs his maid to help him carry his bag .he is such a shameless boy , his parents must be ashamed of him.Even if its the maids job to carry he should at least help carry one side while she carry the other,because the maids pay is low .

I think that the man should carry to the bag as it is a shame and a bad example for young children like us.Like what Erik Elzinger said"Your own bag is your own responsibility because in the Army,there is no maid!
This is a number 1 SHAME to Singapore."
But the children are not at fault as some of us may be tired and so on.And for myself,sometimes my mum wants to carry my bag.But I said no need as I am big enough!

He should carry his own bag as,why if he's on a mission his maid wont be there helping carrying his own bag.It is so ashame-.-"people from other country will laught at Singaporean NS.What for,they want to go to NS when they can chit chat and ask the maid to carry for his bag that's no use.NS people are strong,brave,discipline and not asking people to do things for them remember do not ask your maid to carry things for them!thank you people for reading my comment bye bye this is haziq leaving!PEACE!
I think it should be the solder that carry the backpack. The maid can not be everywhere all the time to help the solder carry his bagpack. The picture has also bought shame to singapore.The solder should be ashamed of himself,as he is already old enough to help carry his bagpack. And yet he behave like a six years old child
I think the soldier should be the one carrying the backpack and not the maid.he is in the army but not the maid and he is trained to be strong in the army and the maid is carrying his backpack and if the soldier commander sees this,he will punish him for not carrying his own backpack.It is his own responsibity for his own backpack,what if there is something fragile in his backpack and the maid just drop the backpack.
I think the one should carry the bag is the person that owns the bag instead of the maid.As the bag is his responsibility like when he loses something from his bag,it's his things not hers.It looks like he is a inresponsible person and i don't think he will actually learn from his mistakes for what I observed.I think that the guy has to be embarrassed and maybe when he noticed that he was wrong,he maybe will apologize to the maid as he lets the maid carry his bag.Also,he's old enough to carry his own bag and he should be trained being independent as he's in the army.i think what he is doing is wrong.
ithink the NS man should carry the bag as he is the one who goes to the army not the maid. i think that the man should be punished for such an act.if this is the way singapore Ns men do, it will totally affect our reputation for Singapore.
The soldier going to ns has to carry the bag as he is the one going to the army not the maid.
His bag, his responsibility.
The NS man should carry his own bag. National Service teaches men to have respect, to be independent and to have responsiblity.

The N.S army man should carry the bag as the N.S service is to train young Sigaporeans to be responsible and independent.
Like anyone "smart" would answer, it would be the guy... The maid has no right to carry some bag that isn't hers...! The guy is lazy and will become even lazier if this continues! It would influence the children of Singapore who want to be in the army or something and would think," Oh! If the army people do that then I should do that to! I want to be just like them!" Then they end up lazy...!!! Well that's just what I think.

The Natinal Service man should carry the bag as the army camp is to train every young Singaporean man to be independent and serve and protect the country. The National Service man's duty is to be responsible for everything they do even their rifle, not just their bag. If an army man loses his rifle, he could be jailed up to at least 20 years. Byu looking at that, a National Service man must be in chrge of everything he has and must be independent and not to ask anyone to carry it for them. Not only an National Service man should do that but even a student has to do the same. Carrying their bags on their own and not having anyone to help you can also be an example of being independent. Maids are only hired to do domestic chores.
If I were to carry someone elses so called "things" then I would be really mad because I have my own things to carry...! I have a friend in school who has (for example) four bags to carry. She/he asks me to carry two so it's fair! How coulsd it be fair if it's her/his stuff? It's exactly like the army guy. Not the maid's stuff, the army guy's stuff!! Exactly my point...!

I think the person in the army is surposed to carry his own backpack because he is showing a sign of lazyness that can reflect on the country, when tourist come and saw him with his maid carring his backpack they would think that this is a lazy town. Even one of us can show what type of country Singapore is.
I think that the army man should be the one carrying his own bag because he has gone through military training and he is a grown up and he is a man. And man are much more stronger than woman. So he should carry his bag and not play with his devices on his hands. I think that he doesnt care about his maid as he might think that she is my maid she should be doing all the hard work as we are paying her. Well this is a wrong way as you are younger than her and much stronger than her. Plus thats his own bag maybe kids give their bag to their maids , mum or their dad because they have not develope strong bones yet. As for the army man, his bones are fully develope so theres no reason he should be giving his bag to his domestic helper or maid. I think he is not being a responsible adult / man.
I think the soldier should carry the backpack coz its his duty , he cant bring his maid to the battlefield and it is his duty to carry his backpack it is a must to carry your backpack < not including children below 12 years old> every soldier must carry their backpack its for training them to become men
i think the soldier should be carring the bag and not the maid because the maid is not going for army
He is a lazy army,I think his going to apologise to govement.
I think it is surpose to be the army boy to carry the bagpack because he is the one in the army not his maid so he is showing a sign of lazyness.
in the army you should carry your bag not the maid thesoldier must be ashame of himsef because soldiers is strong if not he could not go army if i were him i would carry the bag

When I am on my way home, I see many maids carrying my friends' bags. In result they will become lazy and will depend on the maid to much. After the holidays, my bag felt so much heavier than before the holidays. But my bag has always been the same. It's just that I have not gotten used to my bag after the holidays. It's exactly with the maid problem. They wont get used to their bags and it would be bad for their backs once they don't have maids anymore.

the boy should be carrying the bag because he is the one going to the army and should carry it himself
The man should have carried the bag not his maid.The maid s not going to army but the man is....
I Have read the article on page 4 Little Red Dot, I completely understand what it is about, an army boy asking his maid to carry his bag pack for him. Many people say he is spoiled because he is in the Army. I agree with them because he should carry his own bag instead of the maid. If h were to go to war, no one would be carry his bag for him. i think he was very soiled when he was a child. Many children are spoiled in Singapore. My cousin almost needs our maid to feed him when eating dinner every day. I think kids in Singapore should not be so spoiled in Singapore so that they would be more fit in the army. If less kids are spoiled in Singapore, our soldiers will be stronger and have more strength to protect Singapore. Children are also addicted in playing electronic games. If they are too addicted, they would not to well in the army. Children need to know that they cannot be spoiled all the time.
I think tha th man should carry the bag because the man should b independent enough to carry his own bag and his things because he is already old.And i also think that the man must be responsible to carryit himself.He should not also depend oh his maid on everything,if he also depend on his maid when he has grown older,he will not carry anything by his own,and always ask the maid to carry his bag.I think that he is now in the army and he should be responsible.If he is not with his maid then he cannot carry his bag himself because he has always been depending on his maid..I really wish that the man will learn to carry his bag th next time and do not needth maid to carry it for himand follow hm to army,and not to be lazyand just chucked the bag tl his maid.i think that he should carry it so he would not be so weak in army.If he carry his bag on is own he can be strongerto defend the country.
The army man should carry his own bag because its his bag and reposibility as the maid isn't going to the army at all, HE IS.
Since the army guy is the one going to army training, he should be carrying the bag, not the maid.
Although we pay her for her to clean the house, wash the clothes etc, he should be responsible for his own things.
I think the NS man should carry his own bag as he is already a young adult.It is unbelievable for a man at his age to do that

I think that the NSman should carry the bag, because he is able-bodied and should be able to carry the bag. Moreover, he has to be responsible for his own bag as he is the one serving NS.
I think that the boy should carry his own bag as he is the one responsible for his bag.

I personally feel that the NS man should carry the bag because at the age of 18, he should carry his personal items, besides the bag is his. He should be independent and not be pampered, if he is seen carrying without carrying the bag, it would be embarassing for him and Singapore

I think the maid should not carry the bag for her employer's son as it will spoil him.The National serviceman should carry the bag as it is his duty to carry his bag.And if he cannot carry his bag , how will he protect Singapore?
I think the NS man should carry his own bag as there isn't any resonable reason for the maid to cayy the bag.Even if it is tiring or he is slightly injured,he should be the one carrying it as if there is war,he must still carry his bag.It is his own bag,
it is his responsibility.
5 Graciousness
i think he should have carried his own bag. it is his responsibility to carry his bag, not the maid's. also, if the maid offers help, he should not accept the help although the maids insists. he goes to the army, not the maid, so he should carry his own bag. he is much stronger than the maid. i think he could have used excuses like he was tired orthe bag is very heavy to get the maid to help him carry.
I think the national serviceman should carry the bag, not the maid. Its because it is supposed to be his responsibility, and the maid would also not go to the army. Although she is the maid, it is still his responsibility.

The man should be carrying his bag as he is matured now. The maid must've carried his bag when he was young and now he is used to it and does not like to carry his bag. I feel that he is very irresponsible and it is very unfair to the maid.

I think that the National Service man should carry his own bag instead of requesting the maid to help him with the bag. National Service teaches men to have self-respect, responsibility and also to be independent. By carrying your own bag is a form of being independent as well as showing responsiblity. These days, I see my friends' maid or parents carryting their children's bagpacks. They will eventually get overly-pampered and in the end, they will have to suffer without anyone there to help them.

The NSman should have carried his own bag and not the maid. It is okay to see maids carrying preschool students bags but not people at the age of 9 and above.
Definitely the NS man shoud carry the bag.Its shamefull if your in NS and still need your maid the carry your bag for youThis shows how lazy you are and will set a bad impression on you AND singapore
I think the NS army should carry the bag himself as he is already 18 unlike those who is in primary one or two,they are very young and the bag might be too heavy for them.They might even hurt their backbone so it is understandable if their maid carry the bag for themm.But the NS army is already 18 and still need the maid to carry the bag for him.What a shame.
I understand... There's this guy who works his butt off and is very tired but even though he is tired, he still has to carry his own bag!! I've come across MANY pampered, spoilt children in this world. There are many, but at least a man carrying a gun, standing up for his country, should be able to carry something so light and simple as a bag. Yes, of course the maid is being paid by that guy's parents to do the chores and the dirty work, but to carry a school bag! That's puny!
But within this few years, I have noticed more and more boys asking their maids to carry their school bag for them! Boys should be stronger than girls! Do you like strangers not in your family touching your belongings? I don't. It's like having to drink from a stranger's wattle bottle!I don't even like to have maids!( I dont have one anyway) Although sometimes, I pity the maids being scolded day and night by their little "MASTERS". The maid MUST follow or obey them and they MUST do it fast, or they will get fired... Sigh... In the end, the maid is always on the losing side of this arguement.. It's like playing chess with the opponent having a Queen with two guns in each hand!
I think that man is lazy. Even after his army training, he still does not understand responsibility! maybe he will get fat after this.
The army man should carry the bag. After all NS men are suppose to be fit and strong. He should learn from others to be independant. If we were to go to war, will the man ask his maid to carry his bag too? It just shows that he uis too lazy and the amy officer show punish him severly.
The man should be the one carrying the bag. He is going to NS to learn to be independent and have respnsibility. He should not depend on the maid so much. His maid will not be there for him throughout his years of NS training. He is also able-bodied so there is no reason for him to make his maid carry his own bag. It will ruin Singapore's reputation . This will leave a bad impression on other people from other countries. I think that people wearing uniforms or anything that represents Singapore should be more conscious of his or her behaviour when they are in public places so as not to tarnish Singapore's good name.
The NS man should carry the bag as he is the one who is going to the army. After all, he can't bring his maid to military training or war. And he is the one who is going to the army, not his maid. He should not be so lazy! If someone form a nother country sees this, it would ruin our reputation. Imagine seeing an NS man asking his maid to carry his bag. Then what is he going to NS for? But is it was a small child, it would still be okay for the maid to carry the bag. The man in the article is so shameful, irresponsible and lazy.
The man must be a very lazy person even when he is in NS. The man should not ask the maid to carry his bag for him he should carry it by himself. If i were him i would already be grateful that his maid is already helping to do the house chores.He should be ashamed of himself he is taller,bigger and must be stronger than his maid because he is in NS. Everyone wil know that he is from NS because he is wearing his NS uniform he is making bad impression about our singapore national service. What if other countries know about this?
Could you just picture it? A skinny maid carrying a national service man's bag and the national service man happily using his phone, maybe texting his girlfriend or playing 'Angry Birds'. I really, really pity those made who are taken advantage by carrying their employer's son's/daughter's bag. I mean, the national service man is like around 18 years old. He should start learning to be independent and cannot just depend on the maid to help him do everything he wants her to do. It would be understandable if the the owner of the bag is younger than a primary 3 kid. Maids are there to do household chores, not for you to take advantage of. Even though maids are just helpers, it does not mean that they are useless. They are just like us, they are humans not aliens from other planets. If you had done something wrong your maid for those who have, you should TAKE IT BACK!
I think the boy should carry his own bag instead of the maid.He is old enough to carry his own bag.If his shoulders are pain he can seek for help but if he is feeling well he can carry it by himself.It is so irresponsible to ask the maid to help him carry his own bag.I hope this boy can carry his own bag without his maid's help and be a responsible citizen.
I think that guy should carry his own bag no matter how heavy,or want to do something eles,the maid helping him,will not be able to follow him into missions,eg.jungle,forest......OMG!Other countries people will be laughing at Singaporean's NS !?!it's so shameful,i wonder what would the other countries people will think!
It is the army boy's own responsibility to carry his bag.If there was a war the maid would not be able to help him carry his bag across the battlefield.The army boy is behaving like a one year old kid,unable to do anything for himself.The idea of national service is to make boys into men.As a fully groan man he should carry his own bag.Even if his arm or shoulder was injured, the maid will not come to his rescue during a war, and he has to try to do his best to carry his own bag.By asking his maid to carry his backpack, he embarassed himself, his family and his company.I hope he realised his mistake and he will carry his own bag in future and not ask his maid to do it for him.

with the reference to this article,I am sure the army should carry his bagpack instead of his maid.In the picture the army should carry his bagpack,since he does not so he is actually a spoilt bratt.I have heard that many children now days are spoilt,they ask their maids or parents to carry their bagpack.He should not let his maid to carry his bagpack,if he is a army,the army is for boys to learn to do things themselves.Armys should not be a spoiled bratt.Carrying his own bagpack is his responsibility as an army.His maid will not carry it for him every where he goes. Nashita Hossain(5 coompassion)
I think the man should carry the daypack bag on his own.Because in singapore,all people in army should have their own responsitbility to carry or do their own things not people do for them.In this article i have a feling that this man does not respect singapore and is very lazy,by the way while talking about thisnews in the newspaper.I have another article it is from me let me tell you the news,one day while my brother has finished his work he went to the bus,in the bus when he found a place to seat then he seat on it and ride on while riding on the bus he looked behind and he was shock because he saw a big fat army man sitting on two seats and was sleeping with a big opened mouth and when he saw that .He came home and tell us all about it and i was like OH MY GOD!!!I can't believe it this man should not do this it shows that he is not respect to people and is lazy too.I felt bad for that i hope theese people will change and don't be lazy if not this shows that they don't respect singapore and that's all of my article and please do not behave like them>_<!!!!!!!!
I think that the man should be the one carrying the bag.The bag belongs to him and he has the responsibility to carry it.He should not ask his maid to carry his bag for him.He is spoilt and he should learn how to be independent as one day,his maid would not be able to help him.
