I believe only a woman would say something like this.
Your career advancement is based on your merits.
However, I think there is nothing wrong for the public sector to "walk the talk" when it comes to getting companies to better recognise the obligations that NS men have. There is a very real possibility of being away from work at the "wrong time", which could lead to slower career advancement or less bonus.
That said, "recognising the two years of national service" just mean a "seemingly faster career progression", when you are comparing with your own years of service and from a warped perspective.
Doesn't it make more sense to that he should be compared with peers of the same age?
Ladies and exempted males who graduated and have 2 additional years to build up experience and 2 additional years of income. They are not getting more than their peers of the same age. They are playing catching up to match the salary, with 1 important condition.
The ministry still has to see if they are at that readiness to take up comparable roles and appointment that their peers could. Just because they are promoted to the same grade doesn't mean it is equal. Their peers of the same age (in addition to the 2 extra years of full income - please don't compare army ALLOWANCE), they also have 2 -3 extra years of increment which adds up to a lot more. Plus, when it comes to career progression, bosses will also factor in the work experience in terms of higher appointments.
If you are not satisfied with this, perhaps you can consider the private sector.
