Our local youths have no future

[Chase]

Today, I read a news article claiming that
Incomes of Singaporeans rise and inequality falls
https://www.straitstimes.com/singap...aporeans-rise-and-inequality-falls-but-growth

Such statement is very distorted. Perhaps, the PRs are considered locals, locals working in the gig industry like driving Grab or food-delivery is getting a good pay because they can command more than $3000 a month (full-time).

I am not refering to PRs but Singaporean kids whose father or maternal grandpa served NS.

When I look at the current housing prices and salaries, I feel that the future is very tough for our young locals. We are very much like Hong Kong. Or maybe HK is better because at least, healthcare is almost free and there is no need to serve NS.

Do we still remember the Singapore dream? Is it stripped down to just Degree and BTO now? If you throw in either car or condo, a couple without inheritance will have to slog for their whole life. For the same efforts, Degree, House, Car and affordable Healthcare will easily attained in many other countries.

Singapore does not prioritize locals and in many ways; instead locals are penalized (NS, influx of foreign students and workers), so where is our social safety net?

Even if I assume that they don't get retrenched, then how about their family baggage? Taking care of a senior above 80 years old or sending preschooler to a mid-tier childcare cost about $1000 each. Unlike Australia or Japan, the wealth that our forefathers accumulated didn't appear to reduce the financial burden of our sandwiched class too.

With income being stagnant for the man on the street due to influx of foreigners, seriously do our kids still stand a chance to be better-off (work stress and purchasing power) than their parents?

Common sense tell me no, the outlook is sobering

In term of housing many Hong Kong people is buying cheaper property in Guangdong.
Faster railway or train keep them close.
Jobs opportunity in China too.
Singaporean no way to go for cheap property so only way buy rushing waiting HDB BTO flats and pay bank loan till old miserable.

 

[kaninabuchaojibye]

let the young sort themselves out
they each have 1 precious vote in their hands
if they think importing foreigners gives them jobs, so be it
it's their future in their hands and their votes
all i say is good luck to them

 

[amransan]

sadly before the foreigner flooded singapore the minority already experienced this long time ago until today.

 

[laksaboy]

Middle class obliterated. Thank you Lee Hsien Loong! Only know how to sell out the country to globalist interests and tekan your family members.

[Hypocrite-The]

Who did they n their parents vote for?

 

[Balls2U]

Our one system fits all education is a flop. Not every student can adapt to this system. It only trains students to become salaried workers and places too much emphasis on academic excellence. That's why, everyone is obsessed with finding employment and earning a high salary. What we should strive for is to encourage entrepreneurship and creating jobs for your fellow Sinkies. But how to be enterprising when the overheads of running your own business is so fucking high? In 5-10 years time, many conventional jobs will become scarce and obsolete as AI technology will take over, and many people especially graduates will be left without a job and become utterly disillusioned. This is the reality.

Food delivery man getting more than 3k/mth is a good pay? By this comment sinkies are really getting nowhere

 

[whoami]

Its the useless MG/PG. Majority of them voted for MIW. Already got their mthly payout. Happy like F. So dont care abt future generation.

Sinkies never learnt their lessons. Election after election still voted for MIW. Tat shows sinkies like PAP policies.

Why do Our NTU/NUS graduates end up driving Uber/Grab?

By Mervyn Tan

The government likes to proudly show off the rankings of our schools, in particular that of NUS and NTU. Of course, it serves to demonstrate everyone should aspire to secure degrees from these schools so as to ensure they get good jobs et cetera.

Recently, I attended a Private Hire Car Driver's Vocational Licence (PDVL) training; here's a shocking fact I discovered when my curious self went around surveying for a bit - many of the folks attending the classes were ex-PMETs from polytechnics, NTU and NUS! A lot of them previously were in computer science, electrical and civil engineering jobs before being replaced. I counted a handful of them in their 30s and while most were in their 40s. There were also some fresh graduates who could not land jobs yet and so resorted to driving to earn a living. Dear lord! You mean to say our graduates from these top schools in Asia couldn't find proper employment?! One of the common reasons supplied was that too many foreigners were plying the same trade as them and at considerably lower salaries. In other words, a huge quantity of electrical engineering jobs going instead to Indians FTs and civil engineering jobs snagged by Filipinos.

The clowns at the top echelons of our G are always boasting about the country attaining GDP growth, oh come on even the dumb would know GDP growth can be achieved by importing vast quantities of foreign labour. Ooooh yes that means millions of foreigners, and here's a fun fact: our population is supposed to only hit 7 million by 2030 yet we are already nearing the 6 million mark, mind you this is only 2018. The doors are thrown wide open to the rest of the world, in the process causing so many locals to become underemployed or unemployed. While the government constantly publishes reports about how awesome the Singapore education system is, they prefer to go around hiring cheap labour with dubious academic credentials from third world countries.

Many of our locals live in HDB dwellings and are thus saddled with enormous housing loans; without jobs to fund their debts and living expenses , they are left with little choice but to force themselves to become private hire car drivers. When autonomous vehicles finally arrive at the scene in a big way, what then next? Take an elevator to the tallest floor of Marina Bay Sands Hotel tower and contemplate "migrating" to the netherworld?

Nearing the end of conversation, I posed the infamously snide question, “Who did you voted for?”. As predicted, you can see plenty of stunned, silent faces. So you fellas go complaining everywhere about being given a raw deal in life, but weren’t you the ones who chose the men in white to rule over your sorry timid asses?

Companies just don't need do many employees anymore. It's all about cost cuts and comparison with other similarly sized competitors. Once autonomous driving is perfected, there will be no need for cars nor cab drivers. And soon, just one pilot on board a plane.just in case

 

[knnb40]

once i was told that if the country cannot progress....me will become slave or migrant labour in other country.....
now with Singapore poly, university ranking top in South East Asia....one of the way (hopefully not the only way) is for my child to go other country to work as white or blue collar.....

Sinkies never learnt their lessons. Election after election still voted for MIW. Tat shows sinkies like PAP policies.

Bro very simple reasons:

Sgrean are afraid if they vote wisely the country will collapse and become 3rd world country. (Australian always change their government the country still going very strong)

sgrean afraid that if the vote wisely their HDB price drop! ( they forget the value starting to drop after 30 years)

sgrean afraid that if they vote wisely the companies will close and lose their jobs!(well they already been replace by foreigners that is why now many driving Uber or grab car and even their master encourage them to be hawkers)

Well the truths is more painful then the lie so they prefer living in lies pretend everything is perfect but u can see them walking like there no soul in them on the street bro

Another thing i noticed. Tis one from the horses mouth...i.e. office Msian colleagues. Msians are hard core PAP supporters. Many of them already SC here. SPR and Msians (working here) will coax their relatives (sinkies) to vote for MIW. They like to compare to the Msian garment. Tats why they praised sky high of MIW for offering them lucrative jobs (3 x their peers in msia). They badmouthed the Malay garment of Msia for not as efficient as PAP. See....they still hold on to their blue IC. Wat a hypocrite! Enjoying both world. So i think MIW is here to stay....for a long long time.

from what I see in Singapore education in singapore the education only makes a person book smart but not street smart!

that is why the 3rd world countries with fake degrees can land a good jobs why? Because they are street smart they able to think outside the box to get the job.

and another thing about Singapore education that is very wrong from the beginning it nature competitions among students to get to the top and this nature will follow them till they grow up to get to the top they must out do one another by back stabbing eachother! That is their downfall!
I had work almost all my life in singapore and get to see and experience so many of these things.

that is why foreigners when they come to Singapore they work together with their own kampong mates and help eachother to grow and when they grow they get to the top they can bring in more their kampong mates to Singapore can see the difference.

well this is my own 2 cent
