It is time the government takes the bull by its horn and cancel the National Service programme once and for all.

It was a last-ditch effort by the previous administration to put into place some fancy idea of one man which was not well thought out and generally was bad in implementation as it was rushed.

Parents has the final say on how and what their children should be doing, and the government should not interfere with this right. I may also term the NS as a sort of false imprisonment as children are being taken away by 'force' without the parents' full agreement.

Billions of ringgit has been spent on this futile effort to instill patriotism among our youth and it will never work.

The money saved from this cancellation can be channelled into building more schools and giving out financial assistance to the poor families whose children lacks support in furthering their education.

As hard as it is, the present government should not be left to carry the brickbats of a past mistakes. We can correct it now.

Let's us stop it, at least to avoid another death or rape.
