Going back to Singapore to work is ok for those who are young. Singapore regards those who are young as an asset as they are energetic (si peh gow piah), work late and therefore contributing to the economy. Come to think about it, it is actually free labour. However, when your age is above 40...

Yes. You cannot withdraw your CPF money. That is why I as a Malaysian, who worked in Singapore for 20 odd years, have to migrate to Australia to withdraw my CPF. AngKuKuih

As a citizen of a country, there is a symbiotic relationship between the state and the citizen. To be a citizen of Singapore, it is always what you can do for the country and the state does not do anything for you. Worse still, the state always tries to find ways to try to squeeze the citizens...

Hi All Singapore Migrants I would like to wish all Singaporean migrants who have made oversea countries their homes, i.e. all countries except Singapore, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May the Year 2011 bring good health and wealth to you and family. To those who have just arrived to...

Hi All It has been 2 months since my first post in early May. The Greece economic situation seems to have spreaded and the stock markets around the world is reacting to the EU slow down and also limping US economiy. My take is the global economy will slow down and will finally affect...

As a family, we went through an agent. They did all the work for us. What my wife and I needed to do were to give them the necessary documentations(i.e certified copies of passports, marriage certificate, resume etc) and they submit the application for us. The value add that an agent gives is to...

Hello... you expect the PAP ministers, civil servants etc to apologise....... Tan Ku Ku lah...... In my years in Singapore, I have never seen any civil servants, ministers or government officials make apologies even if they are their faults. AKK

In Singapore, when you are no more economic active contributing to the coffer (cpf), you are like a can of food which is labelled as expired. When you finished using your cpf after retirement at the age of 80, the government requires you to "buy" insurance and pay a premium of $5,000. In actual...

Hi All The Greece crisis has commenced to take an effect on stock market around the world. In my opinion, this will become a contagion effect and will spread to all weak financial European countries. With US economy limping along and the EU crisis, the world economy will affect China and Asia...

Hi All If potential Singaporean migrants to NZ or Australia have the above qualities, it is suggested that they stay behind in Singapore so that they do not have room to complain. I wish them all the best. The PAP government has brain washed the people to think that every thing Singaporean is...

The outcome of this tightening of foreign ownership will be an interesting event to follow down the road. It will definitely dampen the property prices as the rich foreign Chinese who are on temporary visas will be kept out of the auction and the house prices will soften going forward. What do...

WOOHOO................My wife and I have taken out our CPF and are enjoying ourselves now in the Kangaroo Land. I fear for those who have migrated whose CPF are still with the PAP government...... Good luck to them before the CPF is being invested wrongly by the Temasek team........ Ang Ku...

Hi All The end product of many Singaporeans today is the iron fist and paternalistic approach of the government since 1965 when the PAP government came to power. The government realised this. However, to undo this paternalistic approach will take another 20 or so years. When you get used to...

I agree with Axe168. A lot of Singaporeans that I know treat their houses as a place to stay. They usually like to buy a new or build a new house. They do not protect their place of abode. As for me, my place of abode is a place where my family can stay in and at a same time it is an investment...

Hi All PAP indoctrination is so strong in Singaporean women as compared to Singaporean man. I think PAP government is to be blamed. The PAP government has created an environment where the citizens become masochistic. 1) The citizens elect a government that does not take care of the...
