Why are Singapore youths no longer drawn to 5Cs?
- Thread starter Taylorshit
- Start date
Mainstream success in S'pore is still very much defined by the accumulation of wealth such as cars, condos, landed homes and a healthy bank account which are still the markers of success. With the widespread use of social media, it has become far easier to display one's wealth or to fake it in order to make others feel inadequate. Lots of young people without the actual means are still able to flash expensive borrowed watches or counterfeit ones while sitting inside luxury cars that are loaned or rented for the photo shoots. If many of our youngsters have lost interest in the 5Cs, it is because they realise that it has become the impossible dream in the most expensive city in the world.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said there are no “red lights flashing” for the financial system, and reiterated her view that the US economy has reached a soft landing even as job growth weakens.
“For the US, the kinds of metrics that we would monitor that would summarize risks — whether it’s asset valuations or a good degree of leverage — things look good, I don’t see red lights flashing,” Yellen said Saturday in a fireside conversation with Bloomberg News’ David Gura at the Texas Tribune Festival. “I’m attentive to downside risks” on employment, she said, while saying job growth is solid.

More and more Singaporeans are seeking to broaden their prospects abroad, but being away from the comforts of home has its trade-offs, notes the writer. How can we best weigh the gains and costs for ourselves?

One wonders: Is it truly worth it to leave our little red dot and venture abroad?
According to a new study by Cigna Healthcare, globally mobile individuals experience higher stress levels (86 per cent compared to the global average of 80 per cent). However, they also report better mental well-being — 58 per cent of globally mobile respondents report “excellent” or “very good” levels of mental well-being, compared to the global average of 46 per cent.
This suggests that while international assignments can be challenging, the resilience and adaptability developed through these experiences can also contribute significantly to overall well-being, and by extension, fulfilment in one’s career and life.

However, while overseas assignments can be immensely valuable for personal and professional development, we first have to be clear-headed about the benefits and priorities we are seeking before making that leap.
Having spent a significant chunk of my career based outside of Singapore, here’s my two cents on the matter.
73-Year-Old Granny Sells Hipster Coffee From Home In Joo Chiat Back Alley
The irony? The bubbly grandma of five doesn’t drink coffee — she prefers tea and Milo. But that hasn’t stopped her from pulling cups of espresso and latte for curious customers from the neighbourhood and beyond.

While Joo Chiat is famous for its colourful Peranakan conservation houses, it's a plain-looking terraced house on Tembeling Road that's been attracting buzz on social media recently.
Tucked along an alleyway is three-week-old Kopikhoo, a cute home-based coffee kiosk that's only noticeable because of its Peranakan-style window carved out of a drab, off-white wall.
The lady in the window is chatty 73-year-old, Paulin Khoo, who serves artisanal coffee from her home kitchen.

However, with interest rates peaking and inflation starting to ease, we are beginning to see light at the end of the tunnel. The Asia-Pacific (Apac) real estate market is set to begin its recovery in 2024, driven by stabilised capital values and resilient income returns.
The structural growth in terms of demographics, digitalisation and decarbonisation are driving secular shifts in occupier demand across real estate sectors and geographies. From the cyclical perspective, some markets in Apac current offer interesting entry prices and rental growth prospects, as the current cycle and price discovery enter a stabilisation stage.
Furthermore, the ongoing shift from the more highly regulated traditional bank-led financing and towards private market funding is creating new opportunities for debt investors.
Would Anyone Dare to Highlight the EXCESSIVE Practice of Property Speculation, disguised as "Investment" , has resulted in Everyone in Society, paying for the Profits of the Landlords ?
Exactly who benefits more from Property price Rises - the Public-at-Large or the Players ?
In Social Media, YouTube, we are blasted with "Monkey" & Friends, boasting of common working Crass People, "Retiring Early", making Tenants "Pay for their Property Profits",..boasting of owning multiple Big Cars, Properties,..etc.,... such Social Conditioning is Constant.
Then there are the Ah Bengs' such as Simon, that Maiyou-Something that wears Falshy, Loud Designer Labels, giving Free Advertising (..silly..) to such Brands, and Rolex Watches,.....isn't such, signs of how Stupid Society can be and how easily, minds can be influenced ?
Oh, Yes, then there's the Incumbunt Politicians who drive Big Expensive Cars and Live in Super-Expensive Properties,..
Is the Real National value of Singapore, the only Value of the Property Valuation ?
Teh Tarik has been marketed overseas as "artisanal coffee" and roti prata as "hand-rafted crepes" from S'pore. LOL!

SINGAPORE: A Singaporean woman shared on social media that her boyfriend now regrets pursuing a Master’s degree in Social Sciences, which has made job hunting more challenging.
In her post on r/askSingapore, a Reddit forum, she explained that her boyfriend decided to enrol in a master’s degree program right after finishing his undergraduate studies, as he believed that this would become advantageous later in his career.
However, he soon realized that many of the topics covered in his master’s program closely mirrored those he had already studied during his undergraduate years.
Additionally, he discovered too late that he did not meet the requirements for many job positions. He was often considered “overqualified” due to his advanced degree or found that jobs requiring a master’s also demanded two years of work experience, which he lacked.
“My boyfriend now feels he’s wasted those two years,” she said. Although she suggested temporarily leaving the master’s degree off his resume, her boyfriend declined. He argued that excluding it would create a gap in his resume that he must explain to potential employers.

“This is not an issue of over-qualification but more lack of internships or full-time experience.”
In the comments section, many Singaporean Redditors empathized with her boyfriend’s situation, sharing their own experiences and advice. One Redditor from the field of social science research pointed out that opportunities in this area are ‘far few.’She wrote, “Only a few places employ Research Assistants and Associates – government agencies, local universities and market research companies. This is why he is having issues finding a job: too few opportunities exist. I pivoted to data science since it is a similar field.”
Another shared, “My partner has the same issue! Has two master’s degrees plus a first-class honours degree. Has been looking for a job for 10 months with no success.
I suspect it’s an overqualified issue, too; in Singapore, employers may feel they have to pay a premium for a master’s degree? Overseas, no problem. He also has work experience; the masters were done alongside work.”
On the contrary, others argued that having a master’s degree might not always translate to better job prospects. In certain industries or job markets, they said that practical experience and skills may be valued more highly than advanced degrees.
One Redditor added, “I don’t personally know anyone in Singapore whose master’s value-added anything when the master’s was taken immediately after the bachelor’s. Everyone I know who did that ended up in bachelor graduate level jobs.
The only ones I know who may have an added benefit were those who took the master’s after working for a few years and had their companies sponsor them. But even with that, the effect was limited.”
Another remarked, “Master’s are typically not worth it, but a master’s in social science? Double ouch. This is not an issue of over-qualification but more lack of internships or full-time experience.”
