Earlier, the National Service Training Department, in a statement, said some trainees were informed to return home and postpone their registration due to capacity constraints at the camp. "My seniors who joined the national service programme last year shared their experiences with me. All the trainees who came today had valid letters from the National Service Training Department. Some 700 trainees turned up at the army camp here today to register for the first session of the national service programme this year.
