Seems to me, he is a british x thai mixed blood. His height only 1.72m.

Fandi's kids also signed up for some foreign clubs right ?

Quite short. I 15yo already 1.83m.

Do we have another player playing overseas? Plus this one we have two. I hope their talent do not go to waste.

Attacking midfielder a little short not too bad la. Hope he really makes it. Not premier league but even division 1 will be very good already.

Will he get deferment?

As for schooling, he is finally getting his returns , so many endorsements. Money pouring in. But he deserves it.

Mindef reject deferment request.... Guess gone case again
Wonder will they appeal?

[Robson]

I dun think he deserves deferment. He signs contract with a modest epl team and still play8ng in their youth team.

The criteria is world class.

Then schooling has timing that matches world best and achieve bronze in world championship.

No wonder rejected. Last time fandi also not deferred.

I think they need to look at it case by case, sport by sport.
At 17 to be termed world class in Football? Mbappe maybe?
It’s not saying don’t serve, it’s deferment.
South Korea also has mandatory NS but can serve at later years.
Any country in the world to have a world class athlete at tha age is already a rare chance, not to mention Singapore.
