The LIONSXII are currently fourth on the table after picking up nine points from their opening four games, and are only three points behind leaders Pahang.
While V. Sundramoorthy's side currently have a 100% record at the Jalan Besar Stadium with two wins from two, they haven't had as much joy on their travels, losing two of their three away games in the league and also falling to a 1-0 defeat to PKNS FC in the first round of the FA Cup.
A main problem that has plagued the Singaporean outfit all season long, as well as last year, has been their inability to field their strongest team in away games as many of their players are currently serving their mandatory NS stint, and are unable to leave the country without clearance.
And Fandi, who is currently coach of fellow Super League outfit Darul Takzim, believes a solution must be found to prevent NS from harming the development of Singaporean football.
"Even though they [LIONSXII] are together, they are not there [as a team] in a game," he told FOX Sports News.
"I don't know how they [Football Association of Singapore] expect to develop because the first thing they must tackle is the issue of national service.
"They have to make sure these boys can travel to away games with peace of mind because, from what I've heard, some of them have to take leave in order to travel with the team."
"Where is the support?"
