Thankyou . Im glad you guys appreciated my effort to clean out those mentally sick ppl . they are spreading stupidness in this forum and prevent others brothers from posting .
Actually you are right in a certain sense. Anyone with guts and a minimal level of street-savviness can make a living in Singapore. But I would much rather spend my money and retire in JB than in Singapore where quality is low and the price is sky high.
By all means relocate to a country with a lower cost of living. What gets to me are those quitters who whine about how materialistic Sinkieland is and yet the core reason for their emigration is to make/accumulate more $
qxd is quixote durian while qxp is quixote pisang (bananas). is qxp still in imh?
Actually many migrate not to accumulate wealth but to make a better life. Better life includes wide open spaces, more opportunities to do more with limited resources such as sports, leisure and other non work related activities.
Actually you can earn more in Singapore than in many 1st world countries. Teaching is a classic example. Singapore teachers are better paid than any other country in the world. The salary of a JC principal is nearly three times that of any other state paid salary in the 1st world. Many of the vocations are also pay better.
Those with families tend to do it for quality of education for their kids.
Try owning a 2 horses , a sail boat and having a holiday home in Singapore on SGD 60K a year. These are doable on many other countries.
The world is your oyster. Go pick and chose. I have many times have indicated that many in Singapore's political elites who have family members with dual or multiple citizenships. Now we have an opposition MP in the same fold. It is not a sin. It how wide you want play.

Its the intangibles that matter. I've many friends from back in school who have emigrated because they found it so much easier to socialise, make friends, set up business, in another country. Even if they had to struggle financially for the first few years. It paid off. Their kids are so much more exposed, well-spoken, without necessarily adopting an ang mo accent. They speak much better and have more initiative than other SG kids 5 years their senior. And they don't necessarily criticize our govt too. They just feel there's more room for personal growth abroad.

There is a guy who is graduated in the 70s from Uni of Singapore and very celebral. He moved to Tasmania, grows his own stuff and does his own thing. He and his classmates caught up in a city for a long awaited reunion about 2 years ago. One of the guys who attended and classmate said that he was the hit during the reunion as everyone thought he was in Nirvana.
I also shared the story of a former Head of HR for one of SATS who gave it all up to work in pillow factory so that he could go diving, travelling and keep his VW van etc.
They all have children who went on to graduate and do well.

That's why I've always maintained that migrating to Oz was more of getting a second chance in life and so one should adapt to take it with the good with the bad...
Just sad that some new migrants from Singaporeans still like to sit down and compare who's got more material benefits than the other, only to get alienated from the larger community and in time, start bickering amongst themselves.
Must admit I did a bit of that in my first year here, which I now don't bother about. Most of my weekend conversations are now mostly centered around growing stuff in hobby gardens, trading fishing secrets or home improvements...

I suggest the forum should be made available only by being an SBF member. The viewership of 1000 - 3000 I suspect are lurkers benefiting from the sticky. In this way, the membership of SBF will increase. My 2 cts.
I add 2 more cents. If guests cant view it, they dont know whats in it and so wont join it.
Nothing wrong with that. My suggestion is to make these lurkers become members as we want this forum to grow.

Maybe but lacking contributors. You sure those are not clones?
Why am I not surprised? When favourite passtime here is infighting and insulting LOL
I think Leongsam runs the forum PAP-style. Attract 10 foreigners (lurkers), hope that 2 become PR (start posting), and out of the 2, hope that 1 becomes a citizen (start making quality contributions).
