The Malaysian National Service 2006 / 2007 short list was available early this week. Any Malaysian who was born in 1989 has a chance of being short-listed to undergo three months of the national service training. You can check whether you are selected for national service on its official website by typing in your Identity Card (IC) numbers.
The objectives of the national service programme:Since I wasn't selected for national service last year, I don't have any personal experience to share with you. However, some of my friends who did complete the national service this year shared their lifetime experiences with me. Most of them agreed that most activities in the physical module were very exhilarating and challenging whereas the character building module and nation building module which were classroom based, were mundane and tedious.Source: Wikipedia
- Develop a young generation who are patriotic and with love for their country
- Enhance unity among the multi-racial communities in the country
- Instill a spirit of caring and volunteerism among society
- Produce an active, intelligent and confident generation
- Develop positive characteristics among the younger generation through good values
Contrary to my belief, my friends have put on weight instead of losing it during the national service programme. They explained that they took five to six meals which were the breakfast, morning tea-break, lunch, afternoon tea-break, dinner and supper in the training camps daily. However, they commented that the food is unappetizing and as a result some of them 'learned' to throw away the food. Rather than eating the food, they cook themselves instant noodles such as Maggie Mee and Indomie, you name it.
One of the merits for completing national service is that you will get 10 out of 10 marks for your co-curricular participation in STPM UPU application. This is irresistible if you plan to further your studies in local universities. A typical student who isn’t selected for national service can get full marks for co-curricular participation only if he or she is the president of a club/society/uniform body and has participated in an activity at national level.
To sum up, national service programme is an excellent preparation for life in the real society outside. Through this programme, the youths have the opportunities to mingle with others from different races and backgrounds. Indirectly, they learn to be more open-minded and tolerable. We truly hope the national service to promote unity within our young generation successfully. Liked this post? Subscribe now to read more post like this one! Tweet

Hi. Do you know where can i find the names of people who are born in 1988 and chosen for NS?
ReplyDeleteI think you should try to search the list in local newspaper archives. It is no longer available online.
ReplyDeletemay i know where to find the list of people born in the year 1989 which are chosen fot the national service?
ReplyDeleteYou may visit here to check whether someone born in 1989 is chosen for NS by entering the IC no. As far as I know, those (born in 1989) who are chosen have received the official letters from Jabatan Latihan Khidmat Negara.
ReplyDeleteis there any way where you can skip this national service ?
ReplyDeleteThere is no legal way to skip from joining the National Service (NS) programme if a typical one is selected. If the selected one has serious health problem, one nevertheless can skip the NS programme with the health certification from the approved doctor.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, participants can apply for a shorter service duration for academic purposes such as further their studies to Malaysian Matriculation or Form Six. Both of these pre-university level education programmes will usually commence in June, affecting only the participants of third series. Moreover, selected one can also postpone the service for education purpose.
is it difficult to approve a postponed date ?
ReplyDeleteIt depends on your reason to postpone the national service. For example, one of my classmates who will get into Upper Sixth Form next year, is selected. So, he has to postpone the service to a date after he finish taking his STPM examination. So, will NS Department approve his application to postpone the service? The answer is a solid yes.
ReplyDeleteSidenotes:
1. My friend as mentioned above is born in 1989 and is one of the successful Penilaian Tahap Satu (PTS) students. So, he has skipped Primary Four and is one year younger than those students in the same form.
2. PTS examination has been abolished by Ministry of Education in 2001.
hi. i was wondering when the draw dates for NS were.. and when do they recieve their letters or will officially know that they have been chosen to join NS...
ReplyDeletei was searching for some information online and subsequently found this blog...
ReplyDeletei was surprise that you actually link the article i've written in my blog (my experience in NS) to share with our fellow readers here...
i am quite proud and honoured because of that (especially so because i'm aware that malaysia-students is quite a popular blog among students)...
so, i'd like to express my gratitude to you for linking my blog here, and i promise that i'll visit here more often...
thanks!
Hey!
ReplyDeleteWhat abt if ur from overseas and cant go for NS because your studying university there...is it possible to postpone it?
It is possible to postpone (tangguh) Malaysian National Service (Khidmat Negara Malaysia) for academic purposes including studying abroad and even to skip it (dikecualikan) if one suffers serious health problem. For sure, one has to apply to postpone or skip National Service to not be considered as trying to break laws of Malaysia. Read my previous comment.
ReplyDeleteerm..

can anyone tell me that the list that came out in september is the first batch people or it's the list of people for the whole Ns programme?
ReplyDeletehello, how many batch's do they have for khidmat negara, is it 3 or 4? and where do we do the medical check up? can we go to private clinics? or is there a specific clinic/hospital we have to go to? what if we did not learn how to communicate in malay?
ReplyDeletecan u let me know where can find list of people born in the year of 1990 which are chosen for the national service?
ReplyDeletePLKN only accounts for 17 marks out of 20 in the column"Penglibatan"in the cocoricular activities form(2007)
ReplyDeleteHope this should clear any doubt that
once PLKN they will get 10/10.
I want to know whether the list of NS trainees for those born in 1990 are going to be published in newspapers soon. In the news they only stated that they will notify the students via letters next month for those who are chosen for the first batch of NS.
ReplyDeleteMy NS was really fun last year..Although at first, you might be unwilling to join it, at the end, you will be the one who is unwilling to go back..Those who are chosen are really lucky, like me! If you didn't experience it, you won't love it! But just take care of your health and safety..

Yes alexis17, as long as you receive the certificate of National Service, you can use it in your co-curricular assessment. I believe you will receive the certificate via postal mail months after you've completed your National Service.
ReplyDeleteJust for you information, I was not lucky enough to be selected to undergo Program Latihan Khidmat Negare (PLKN).
Hi...my brother just left this morning for the NS in branang..:( It was a very systematic procedure to get the candidates to the camp from here in Kelana Jaya Stadium. Its a very beneficial program n there have been many ways to improve it. Just because there have been hiccups at the beginning doesn't mean that its goin to be a disaster.
ReplyDeleteWe as M'sians should be proud that we have such a democratic country and it definitely shows by seeing these kids from every walks of life n being 'multiracial' just join together and make friends in a matter of minutes.
I really wished this program had begun years ago.
Being a daughter of a ex military man i am even more proud to say...."Hats of the National Service..."
