A Singapore without Singaporeans

The following is one of my earlier article:

A Singapore without Singaporeans, A Nation without Nationhood. That's where we are heading to.

There are people who commented that Singapore is just a "Merchant City and a Hotel" to them. They are in their twenties but they are already planning their exits, migrating to somewhere more comfortable to live in.

They are not entirely "wrong" to think this way. Look at it this way, when you start to see those in the forties, losing jobs and not able to get employed with a decent wage, would you worry for yourself? Worst of all, the govt is seeking to raise the retirement age when it is obvious that those in their forties find it hard to get a job!

It is apparent that for those who have been caught by the "Asset Enhancement Scheme", they will not have enough money for retirement! And all PAP thinks about is whether this group of people would burden their coffers! That's how medisave come about.

Those in their forties and planning for retirement will have no choice but to cash out and retire somewhere. They must face the reality that they have come to the end of their productive life and the state is not going to take care of them. For all the myths they have believed so dearly, democratic socialism or asset enhancement, they have been disillusioned and there isn't going to be enough money for them to retire in Singapore. There will be no farewell party for them when they leave. It would be "good" if they no longer pose a "financial burden" to the govt anymore!

For the twenties they saw what happen to the forties. They will also plan their exit and realize that they would only be "useful" when they are at their peak of productive life cycle. It is no wonder the PAP is beginning to woo at them nowadays. But there are still many migrated out. So the FT policy is in place to fill up the holes left behind. But these FTs may just remain forever Foreign.

When a nation is filled with people, both young and middle aged, thinking about migrating out of the country all the time, there isn't an existence of a Nation in essence anymore. Singapore is just a temporary refuge to their being. And there is no doubt what will happen to these people if there is to be an eminent threat to Singapore as Nation.

Nationhood has not been firmly forged for the past 39 years of nation building. Those national day parades that we have had for the past have lost its appeals when the reality of PAP govt policies set in.

There was a very good article in TR where they analysed which nationality is most likely to remain and become singaporeans.
The ah tiongs will pack up and leave eventually coz china is expanding at a fast rate and opportunities are vast. Shanghai Free Trade Zone has started, companies are flocking there and they are moving in the right direction.
The pinoy and ah neh's are the ones going to stick around coz their country is not good enough. In the meantime, true blue singaporeans are planning their exit strategy to places like Australia, NZ, Britain and Canada.
If the pappies are still allowed free run of this country, we are doomed. From third world to first and back to third world.

If you haven't realised, Singapore is already doomed.
Singaporean are no longer running the place.
It has already overrun by FT.
All walks of life.
Except PAP.

I don't see what the issue is. There is nothing wrong with cashing out if it is to your advantage to do so. It's a financial decision that we all make from time to time in many aspects of our lives.

There is also nothing wrong with living anywhere in the world. Again it's a personal choice. Choose a place that suits you. If you don't like it, move on to the next destination.

The human race is well known for its migratory instincts. It's this urge to cross new frontiers that brought the forefathers of 85% of the sinkie population to Singapore.

"As a Singapore local boy, I left and live as an alien in US
Later I became naturalized as an American.
Meanwhile, the locals in Singapore are becoming like aliens in their own country
This is while the foreigners take on local jobs and live like locals.
So, if Singaporeans becomes alienated in their own country, I should return as a foreigner and become a "local" in Singapore. Ha!

wat threat is eminent? ... :confused:

It is " imminent" lah - it means Highly likely.... $&@%^*<>€£...

I remembered i was often being laughed at my "English" when i was little, in one of my Catholic School... Those who looked down on others ended up in much poorer conditions. ha ! My toes are laughing now, especially my peers having troubles surviving.. diff in placing food on the table.. Let alone retiring.. Hehe..

Having good English wont provide you the Lifestyle. Having good mathematical skills will help you to retire..

:wink:

Those who CAN, do... Those who CAN't, teach...

"Singapore for Singaporean" this is a politically correct statement however there are so many "new Singaporean" who are still not use to being a Singaporean. Not acclimatized yet.
