Clause 86

If a recruit within three months after the date of his attestation pays for the use of the Government a sum not exceeding one hundred and fifty dollars, he shall be discharged with all convenient speed, unless he claims such discharge during a period when soldiers in service with the Singapore armed forces, who otherwise would be transferred to the reserve, are required by a proclamation of the President under this Act to continue in service with the Singapore armed forces, in which case he may be retained in such service during that period, and at the termination thereof shall, if he so requires it, on the payment then of the said sum, be discharged.
