Thinking back, just even a few months ago, people still saying Singaporeans staying in gated/guarded places are ok but what about integration, living, etc. Don't hide the crimes, some would say but if one just search, one can find all posting regarding crimes that were never modified or deleted.
Those who have businesses, living here and some i may dare say who are thriving, may still belong to the minority for now but increasingly seeing more people i know starting up business here other than buying houses, etc. They are also buying into commercial and industrial property as well.
I am glad to be helping them somewhat to integrate better here, it is a thankless job but sincere thanks to everyone who is helping out here. I know of a good neighbour who is local but has been helping out Singaporeans unreservedly and not for financial gains since the developers do not give anything here. (unlike Singapore)
Some of the guys he brought in on the other hand are not really appreciating his efforts. Recently someone even called a bank staff and asks them to fetch them from Tampines to Johor to discuss the loan agreements, send them for shopping at Jusco and to send them back to SG. When they asked me about this since a good friend referred them, i said, just ask them to go to another bank, i will answer to my friend.
On and off we will have people questioning is this a HH thread? Again, it was not and never will be, all those who actually did go through all the postings (kudos to you) and even the very first posting will realise it was always about having options.
Sometimes its challenging when sorting out interactions with other forummers especially if privy to certain circumstances of some, i will tend to stand up for them or modify posts if it concerns their privacy or if they are really having issues.
Please bear with me if some posts get inadvertently modified.
