why dont u ask god to send u back to 20 years ago when policemen still wear shorts.

20 years ago wear long pants..... I guess u mean the 50s and 60s.

Some industry FT much cheaper........like the FLs......
Local talents no need degree, but still very expensive!
Many of these FLs come here on temp/contract basis and go back. some are degree holders.

Why older folks here say can die but cannot fall sick lei?
Why must we send our old folks to places across the causeway where we can afford lei?
Why the local first world medical industry is only equipped to cure the bapaks, ibus, Dato, sheiks lei?
Why national reserves cannot be touched to help when in times of need, but we have funds to invest in failing Swiss and US banks lei?
Why is the official inflation rate so low lei? What are the items in the inflationary basket lei?
Why I rather pay 5 bucks for 3 tissue packs from the 80 yr old grandma rather than 0.30 from the drink stall lei?

On the flip side there is always the positives too:
can another ruling party guarantee only 1 riot in 40 years lei?
Can another party guarantee us Swiss standard of living lei?
How many countries can afford to pay billions of $$$ for YOG lei?
Can another ruling party guarantee floods only happen once in 50 years lei?

You have to strike your own balance here!
There is always 2 sides to a coin. There are many great things here compared to other countries, yet the happy index is amongst the lowest in the world.
SG passports worth a lot in the markets, and that ia really a mean feat to achieve.
It is just where u see yourself in the rat race.

My $0.025!

Yes everything has gone up except for our wages, which cannot follow the inflation.

Hv u been to other parts of the chinese world? If u hv, u will noe tat it is not different. Only in major cities where people go to chase the $$$$$ do they not hv a life, everything rush like there's no tmr, & they live to work.
If u hv been to ang moh countries like those mentioned, they work to live, just like those chinese places that is not chasing the $$$$$$$$.
The diff is, they hv a choice. If they wanna chase the $$$$, go to the city. For majority here, it's LUN LUN one. Born to it.
From ur tis statement, it shows tat u r not well traveled.
Traveling for holidays or short biz trips dun gain one the exposure to make such comparisons. Must go n soak, live & learn anothers culture, then u will know what living is all about & the TRUE meaning of Work To Live.

Dear YOUNG fellow Singaporeans -


Now do you know the reason why our hardworking govt wants to regulate online news sites in Singapore ?


The very basic reason is to make the site owners or forum users to be more responsible when reporting news or posting views related to Singapore.


Just see and count for yourself, how many clones and terrorists lurking here 24/7 365 days washing the brain of our young to revolt against our govt !!!


Their objective is to topple and replace an able and capable govt, trying to destroy our country and wanting our country with ZERO GROWTH, split our country into two with many differing views, an example will be like Thailand and Eygpt, when a country is in chaos, pls tell me who suffer the most ???


My young fellow Singaporeans, be smart, don't follow the evils blindly, terrorists are here to wash your brain and lead you to political unrest one day.


Those who are reading this, pls UP MY POINTS & bring me out of moderation, the terrorists and the evils here are afraid of people like me speaking the truth teaching the young thus have to zap me in moderation so that my posting will not appear immediately, if not, why zap me instantly


Well as I said, terrorists will always hide behind the computer and zap ppl, prevent ppl from speaking the truth !!!


Try criticizing your own govt in front of your foreign colleagues, bosses, business associates & Chinese PRC mei mei, I assured you they'll quietly laugh at you for being so stupid for not appreciating what the govt has done so much for the country.


Thread starter is a bloody stupid asshole for always starting childish topic, Shame on You !

To be fair, I think you better read up on the natural resources the 3 countries have before commenting that they have got no resources. Denmark is self-sufficient in oil and oil is exported.

A better comparison to a country in Europe would be Luxembourg but it is also about 3.6 times bigger than Singapore

Shame on you, you and your gang always copied Youtube URLs of 3rd world country street fighting in broad daylight and present to the entire world that it was in Singapore. Shame on you, using such dirty tactic to destroy our govt !

PAP govt and supporters speak with FACTS & FIGURES, unlike lan jiao terrorists here using underhand tactic infiltrating all online internet portal trying to brainwash the young to revolt against our govt, causing my country currency to depreciate !


Terrorists fuck off and get lost, may your soul(S) burn in hell !!!



Till date, I'm happy the way the country has been GOVERNED, no question about it, though not all policies are perfect but at least the govt is working on it.


Compared to other country at least the crime rate here is still relatively low, my family is safe, my old folks are well taken care off knowing out there have PROPER public healthcare facilities available to all Singaporeans and not forgetting the country is clean & foods are hygienic, all medical equipment ARE sterilized, imported medication are properly screened before being consumed by the public unlike other countries.............



My dear fellow Singaporean, never be afraid, always ignored those labelled you as "Sinkies, Pappies, running dogs etc.........", these are one of those dirty tricks that the terrorists applied.



Those who supported the govt, the terrorists here with tons of their clones and silly samsters(monkey see monkey do), comes in droves & will purposely humiliate you openly, their objective is to scare you off, wanting you to ostracize your govt, purposely create such a negative environment in cyberspace to pressurized you to revolt against your govt, NEVER NEVER NEVER fall into their trap, NEVER, instead you should be proud of the govt the way they've managed the country till date !


My fellow Singaporeans, next time when you see postings and threads attempting to overthrow our govt, criticizing and brain washing the young 24/7 365days, pls ZAP THEM and send them to HELL !!!


Terrorists are everywhere, they dun happen only in Singapore, they infiltrate every online portal where available throughout the entire world !!!


I bet their next move is to STAY LOW and let the thread die naturally, thereafter start a new thread again, start washing the brain again, the cycle goes on and on and on, that is their dirty trick. !!!


-----------------------------Majulah Singapura----------------------------

---------We Singaporeans (includes new citizens) are a United Nation ----


PS : those who criticize your country in front of your foreign colleagues and friends, I assured you your foreign colleagues and friends and bosses will laugh at you for being so bloody stupid !!!
