Concerns of A Young Singaporean

[TracyTan866]

My brother is 23 yrs old. He is a true blooded Singaporean who loves Singapore. He has completed serving his NSF and is studying overseas.

Recently he shared with me his concerns. They are:

1. SG has openly embraced foreigners and freely gives citizenship to all and sundry. This is unprecedented in any country. But, sadly, what Singapore is attracting are 3rd rate foreigners. The better foreigners are choosing 1st world countries like USA, Australia, etc. Will SG suffer in the future because of present cheap citizenship rules which attract 3rd rate new citizens?

2. Cost of living in SG is high. The govt is importing unskilled and unqualified foreign labour to suppress manpower costs. This caused many singaporeans to work for artificially low pay and also face job insecurity. With HDB flats being artificially priced and with the many hidden taxes imposed by the govt, will the average singaporean have enough money to stop working when he reaches 65 or will he have to resort to clean tables just to eke out a living in his twilight years?

3. The quality of worklife for singaporeans sulks

My brother has the good fortune of choosing to migrate if he wants to. He loves Singapore and would love to come back. But the push factors for him to leave are very compelling. His heart is to come back to Singapore. But his head tells him that to migrate is the logical choice.

Shd he return to Singapore to work or shd he migrate? Any thoughts/advice?

after so many years, from the old delphi forum til now, you are still babysitting your little brother.

he doesn't have a mind of his own is it?

 

[TracyTan866]

his sharing shows the close relationship we enjoy.

migrating is a serious decision and it is indeed wise of him to discuss it and hear other opinions

 

[hairylee]

You are a typical negative and pessimistic woman; and you have been all this while.

Deciding to stay on in that shithole is an even more serious decision.

 

[TracyTan866]

Maybe you are rite

But sometimes it's wise to be pessimistic. Instead of judging me, it wld look better on you if you were to comment on the concerns expressed

yup.. i remember from the old forum her that brother is those 'sick chicken' and 'chow keng' type in the army. a big sabo king.

 

[TracyTan866]

deciding to stay and deciding to migrate is the same decision, they are mutually exclusive

 

[TracyTan866]

no, u r wrong!

he is one who stands up to the SAF unlike so many balll.ss guys here who just swallow whatever is dished out and then go grumble when out of hearing range from their masters.

my brother knows what he wants and works to achieve it

You are back. Its about time you let him decide things for himself. I do recall that during his NS, you had to help him out.

I suppose you are going to post along the usual following lines where the answers will be obvious
- is the PAP fair
- should citizens be treated better than foreigners
- should people be courteous
- should there be more than one party in parliament.
- is it important to consume food.

[TracyTan866]

Yes...no time to come in and waste time. I have been busy tackling important life issues unlike you who have nothing better to do but wasting precious life away

 

[Agoraphobic]

If he is torn between new country and family, bring the family to the new country then.

If he is trying to escape some "bothersome" things in Sg, he will find other "bothersome" things there.

What does he look forward to? He has to ask himself that over a period of time. And determine how he feels. Single now, family life some years down the road, things change.

23 years, lots of things to do still. Don't have to make that decision right away right?

You, still at the east coast?

TS will even need to hold his little bro's cock n insert into his wife on the night they consummate their marriage.

that is how useless that little bro is. without TS, he is lost.

 

[TracyTan866]

Thanks.

Good questions. I cant answer for him totally. all i know is that he loves SG but sees limited opportunity for him as a singaporean in SG

 

[TracyTan866]

lol...

people like you make singaporeans embarrassed

 

[Watchman]

Singapore is going the way of embracing low wages where people who makes policies get to set the rules and manipulate low wages to suppress the oppressed !

That's what makes Singapore attractive to foreign investers because the leaders dare to suppress wages here not because we are a model country !

 

[TracyTan866]

that makes singaporean life hell

 

[SIFU]

lol...

people like you make singaporeans embarrassed
