A local borned Sinkie is now a fourth class citizen behind foreigner, PR and new citizen. NS pledge is really a joke.

Many of my acquaintances serving NS wonder who they are defending anymore. All they see are foreigners taking their much coveted jobs and at the same time, have no NS obligations. This is a fu-ked up country where reverse discrimination is the order of the govt.
 
Nowadays, so many newly opened provision shops from South Asia country. Lol
 
Everything look legit except should remove the word President and replace our lives with our small balls.
S'pore operates like a company where goodies like better pay and benefits are dangled to attract talent while the older staff are taken for granted and treated like part of the furniture.
 
Even the maids can do a better defending job than retard sinkies.
 
We, members of the Singapore Armed Forces, do solemnly and sincerely pledge that we will always bear true faith and allegiance to the President and the Republic of Singapore.

Only problem is that your overpaid Istana doggies are always the PAP inner circle. And the current incumbent one is a WEF whore. :cool:

We will always support and defend the Constitution.

China also has a 'Consitution', did it matter? Totalitarian regimes love to use legalse to defend their legitimacy. :wink:

We will preserve and protect the honour and independence of our country with our lives.

60th anniversary of getting kicked out of Malaysia, only to be turned into an overcrowded urban shithole. Who doesn't want to be cannon fodder for defending this? :roflmao:

There is no way I am going to waste my life protecting PAP elites, foreigner CECAs Tiongs Pinoys & others.

When war breaks out, I will try my very best to get out of this country because this government has treated me as the lowest priority citizen, in favour of political elites & their related crony businesses and foreigners.

FUCK PAP. :FU:

MOM data: Education pays in Singapore as median salary for degree holders hits S$8,650

Disclaimer: Unless otherwise stated, opinions expressed below belong solely to the author. Data sourced from the Ministry of Manpower.
The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) released the Labour Force in Singapore 2024 report a few days ago, providing a summary of the labour market trends over the past year.
Among many findings, it contains interesting data on the incomes of the most educated Singaporeans, which shows that pursuing a university degree is still a worthwhile investment.

S$3,000+ above the rest

The figure that is typically reported is the national median, which in 2024 was S$5,500. It is, however, the least relatable and informative since it pools all Singapore residents together—from the elderly standing in for family members at a hawker stall to multimillionaires.
Meanwhile, educational background provides a better context because it allows you to see yourself among people who pursued a similar path.
Last year, degree holders maintained their leadership over the rest (or, rather, the broad median for the entire society they too are a part of) at over S$3,100, with the median employment income reportedly hitting S$8,656.
This means that half of them make more than that.

Interestingly the distance between the best educated and the national median has been quite stable over the past decade, hovering around S$3,000 on most years. This means that it has relatively shrunk in proportion.
However, at the same time, the share of degree holders in the workforce has increased quite significantly.
In other words, even though the nominal ca. S$3,000 advantage may be relatively smaller today than it was a decade ago, far more Singaporeans are able to enjoy it.
From just one-third in 2014, their share has increased to over 40% and, at this pace, should reach half of all workers within the next five years or so (aided, in part, by older, less educated generations retiring).

S$9,000 in 2026, S$10,000 by 2030

Given last year’s jump of over S$460, it’s possible that the round S$9,000 could be broken as early as this year and certainly no later than 2026. This would put degree holders on track to a median of S$10,000 within the next five years.
This is despite the global decrease in the importance of academic qualifications, which has also been registered in Singapore in the past few years.
It seems that even if your employer doesn’t care about your degree, you still are primed for a better job and higher salary than those who did not complete advanced education.
Perhaps it’s not down to specific skills obtained at school (with the exception of practical degrees in fields like engineering, science or medicine, perhaps) but the intellectual capacity that is exhibited by most of those who pursue a degree.

Whatever the reasons, the numbers suggest it is still far better to complete it than not. MOM data: Education pays in Singapore as median salary for degree holders hits S$8,650​
