There is a way that we don’t have to bear with the high influx of foreigners and still be happy. When you can’t beat them, you join them.
I have tried this for sometime now and it works quite well for me. I tell myself that I am not a Singaporean but a PR in Singapore. I read every news from a PR perspective and it was fantastic to realise that as a “PR”, I am being treated so much better then Singaporeans.
When I go shopping, I remind myself that I am a tourist and behave like one and expect to be treated like one. Early this year, when I received my reservist notice, I told myself that I am a PR, hence I am exempted from NS and went all out to get a deferment. It was successful and I did not serve any reservist this year. I was over the moon. I will try to defer again next year.
By cutting off all your attachment with Singapore as a Singaporean, you will learn how much happier you will become. Needless to say, when there is trouble and the MIW wants Singaporeans to stand united, you can just book the first flight out of here and not feeling any sense of guilt. Tell yourself that you are not a Singaporean after all.
It works for me. Try it and see if it works for you.
