00:00Next year, 2025, the government will issue a national service 3.0 plan worth 50 million RMB,
00:10which is PLKN 3.0.
00:13Then the member of Congress, Zou Yuhui, who is in the labor area of the Action Party,
00:16gave a speech in the lower house of Congress on October 29th.
00:19Since the implementation of the national service plan,
00:22he has been observing various problems in execution, effect, and cost.
00:27Zou Yuhui clearly expressed opposition to the restoration of the national service plan.
00:57Zou Yuhui also expressed opposition to the implementation of the national service plan.
01:27The researchers have spent 8.4 billion, but the impact of the program is still questioned.
01:34Since the beginning, PLKN has been introduced to build the spirit of patriotism, discipline,
01:39and unity among its members.
01:41However, there are researchers who show the impact of PLKN and its original information.
01:49I know, although there are several studies that have been done,
01:53but is there a big cost for this program compared to the positive impact achieved?
01:59This raises the concern whether PLKN is truly giving added value to its members
02:05or just becoming a routine program without significant changes.
02:09Third, although the main target of PLKN 3.0 is students who have just graduated from SBM,
02:18but not excluding university students or university graduates.
02:22Based on the response from the Ministry of Defence,
02:24the young people aged 16 to 35 have the potential to be included in this program.
02:31What I would like to say is,
02:33those under the age of 35 are mostly still in the study phase.
02:39There are even those who have completed their studies at university and work in the industry.
02:45There are even those who have families.
02:47If some of these people love PLKN,
02:50even if it is only for a two-month period,
02:52it may have a big impact on their lives.
02:55The absence of income for two months means that there is no salary for the period.
03:02YB Zhou Yukui hopes that the government will evaluate this plan more comprehensively.
03:07He asked,
03:08is it really necessary to use large-scale financial investment
03:13to restore a project that was once termed a failure?
03:18Is it possible to cultivate the patriotic spirit of young people only through the National Service Program?
03:23Isn't there a more economically effective way to instill patriotic values?
03:29In the view of YB Zhou Yukui,
03:31the National Service Program is not only ineffective,
03:34but it will even cause resource waste.
03:36Therefore, I suggest that the government withdraw this plan
03:39and focus on a more effective and cost-effective alternative plan.
