Ah Boys to Men 4 (新兵正传4)

NS 50 has passed an important milestone in Singapore's nation building journey.

Grandma, your phone.

An opportune time for us to recognize.

Hello.

I got activated for open mob.

Open what mop?

The Open Mob Exercise in which I've to return to camp.

Help me dig out my field pack and uniform,

I'll come back for them later.

Found it.

That's why I predict that 2018 will be a fruitful year for our company.

Boss.

Based on our market analysis, this'll be the focus for next year.

- Thank you. - Good!

There's another thing that I would like to share.

- This is my other plan... - Alex.

Can you see me?

I'm over here. Talking to you.

- Shit. - Leave it on.

We are all colleagues and a family over here.

Alex, let's hear what your Grandma has to say.

I washed, starched and ironed

till it is really hard and stiff.

It's so hard that it can stand

Grandma, what's so stiff it can stand?

Temasek Green.

Grandma, that's Father's. Mine don't require ironing.

It's wrong?

You don't wear this now? They changed?

The Army is so rich.

They change and change.

I wore this for 30 years without changing.

Okay, bye.

I didn't know you're still like a small boy.

Relying on your Grandma.

Boss, my open mob just got activated.

What?

You mean you have to go?

Yes.

Alex, this is a 30 million dollar project.

The entire team has been working over the entire weekend.

You mean you've the heart to go at this moment?

Boss, I have no choice.

I am one of the key personnel. I'm the Platoon Sergeant.

That's why I need to be there for my men.

It is the same here.

You are like the Platoon Sergeant of the entire team.

How can you leave all of us behind?

Right?

Alex.

What Boss meant is you should call your unit now.

See if you can defer so you don't have to return.

We really need you now.

Why don't you just call and try?

Come on, we need you.

Boss.

I really need to go.

Fine.

Anyone else here need to report back to camp?

No, we're not Singaporeans.

No reservist.

Amazing.

Now all our foreign talents can be fully on standby

and reserved for my company.

Something must be wrong here.

Every soldier in Singapore has to be called back for

open mob exercise every year or two.

Seriously, I don't mind two years of National Service.

But the following ten years of ICT and open mob

constantly interferes with our life.

To be honest,

we are all so helpless.

I have seen so many men malinger

but as a Platoon Sergeant,

I need to set a good example.

Not only can I not slack,

I even need to deal with those who do.

Sergeant.

Robert has some family problems. He can't leave.

He told me to help him report. Here's his identity card.

You think this is a collection for NDP tickets.

He must come here personally. This is by law.

I told him so.

How about this?

Hello? Robert.

I'm in camp now. You speak to Sergeant.

Hello? Robert.

Sergeant, listen to me.

I wanted to come but I really can't make it.

It is the big day at my temple.

I need to standby here.

My God needs my body to serve his followers.

My schedule can be changed

but my God's time can't be changed.

Sergeant, please help.

I've told Richard to represent me.

Robert.

I'm very reasonable.

You tell your God.

If you don't turn up today,

you might get charged, you might also get thrown into Detention Barracks.

But if your God can save you, you don't need to come.

Okay? Enjoy your stay. Decide for yourself.

Bye.

I've to report to camp. Sorry.

It seems that a lot of NSmen do not understand the meaning of open mob.

Everyone takes for granted

that Singapore will always remain a safe country.

A lot of them know the importance of National Service.

But it's more important to them

to let other fellow Singaporeans handle it.

Sad to say, there are many malingerers around you

trying to downgrade to avoid combat duty.

For a small country like us,

our people are our greatest resource.

There is no one but us to defend Singapore

in times of need.

After 50 years of NS in Singapore,

we have established our defence system.

And perhaps, we cannot imagine

that those we are so familiar with,

always sitting right next to you,

belong to the main fighting force protecting Singapore.

Who are they?

Come, let me show you.

They are everywhere.

They could be your colleagues, sitting right next to you in the office.

Or they could be your brother, or father.

Sitting right next to you at the dining table.

We have approximately a quarter million of them.

And all are frontline soldiers.

Ever ready, fit to fight, all the time.

Stupid SAF.

Always activate us at the best time.

So how is the project?

Sorry Boss, JMP got the deal.

What? Didn't we focus on the app?

- Yes. - Yes.

We mentioned they are not just any insurance company right?

- Yes. - Yes.

We also mentioned

they offer free enrichment classes for clients?

- Yes. - Yes.

- Then why? - I don't know.

They just preferred JMP's proposal.

Just like that?

- Yes. - Yes.

And that guy from JMP,

he's always acting blur and cute.

His PR skills is super good.

We underestimated him.

I heard that he is from your platoon.

Can you please do something about it?

This is not the first time already.

Aloysius Jin Seah Lan.

Boss, we need to clinch the next deal.

Or else your father will let your sisters

will take over the company.

Okay, I got it.

Okay.

Do we have anymore projects launching soon?

- Yes. - Yes.

The one that you're holding right now.

This one?

- Yes. - Yes.

The budget is big right?

- No. - No.

Not a big budget.

But the budget is...

huge.

Really?

- Yes. - Now we have energy.

Let's brainstorm. Any ideas?

- Let's brainstorm. - Here.

ICT begins in the blink of an eye.

It always come with a weird feeling for all of us.

Let's look forward to a successful 4th ICT.

Thank you.

Gentlemen, the 4th ICT begins.

Fatty, why are you so late?

Got robbed?

I aligned at the front gate

and walked all the way in.

I treat it as morning exercise.

4th ICT and still have no car?

Hello, Baby.

Where am I?

In your heart of course.

Guys.

I just went to the toilet and you all disappeared to the canteen.
