All is not well in sinkapore .
-
The once bankrupt and restructured KENAIR travel has again gone into closure, a well known travel agency that existed for 35 years ....
Go around any kopi-tiam, you will see many old folks selling packets of tissue and collecting empty soft-drink cans as their main souce of income..
In HDB estates, the situation is even more terrible. So many shops have closed down. Sole proprietor are dividing their small HDB shop into four microscopic parts and letting them out for a measy few hundred dollars, just to substain their rent..
Savings in the bank doesn't yield as much interest as in the past.. The advice from our parents that keeping money in the bank for our future doesn't apply to our kids.. its not a people's bank as proclaim any more, with 2 dollars deduction for accounts less than 500, and some bank 1000..
Go to Jalan Besar, China town and you will see the Living wretched old man lives by scrapping and sleeving off old electrical wires of appliances to sell the copper as scrap,cutting out old carton boxes to sell etc...
They struggle just to earn enough money for a days meal. It is a day to day survivor for many peasants out there.. everything seems to be going down-hill.. It doesn't help with our very own propaganda state controlled sh*t times, where information is often doctored, and people are mis-inform of whats the real situation..
We can see many tents being put up at east coast, where those poor peasants call it their home.. something that does not happen in the past..Look around your neighbourhood blocks at night. See how many flats remain dark.. With many unemployed, bankruptcy is at a record high..
All is definately not well with sinkaporeans.. But NO.. many still live in self denial mode and put on blinkers of cosmetic to show... With only a small minority who flash their high lifestyle, it is often depicted as the lifestyle of the general sinkapore population as a whole... -
Go kill yourself then. Kthxbye.

if we only look at the bright side only, in times of real turmoil, like tsunami do you think pamper sgporean can handle? anyway thats not in the context..
every single people of different walk of life offers different views.. i will try to be more neutral for future postings ... -

turn out good, or bad... but it's definately not progressing, as a nation in
sinkapore... people are downgrading, from 5-room flats to 4 or 3-rooms.. cars
are being scrapped with high records last year.. bankruptcy is increasing, with
many people unemployed... so do you think all is well here? -

The car people scrap cost a lot more.. they are better off with the new car which cost 0 downpayment , 10 yrs loan , and cost less.. we should not only look at the surface..Originally posted by FireIce:weird.....i see ppl upgrading!!!

How many of them are FT ? crowds will always be at shenton way.. thats suppose to be our economy HUB.... FT came and deprive of fellow sinkaporeans who are also able to do the same jobs... -

that's the easy way out... but im not a loser.. i will stay and live to fight for another day... but, sadly how many sinkaporean is with me ???Originally posted by aRcTiC_sTaR:Emigrate then. -
What's so wrong with your Sinkapore then?
I think that Singapore is pretty good. Look at our low crime rates. Most of the problems seem to lie with the population, not with the country itself. Singapore can't take the people for granted. It's the people that take the good life in Singapore for granted isn't it? -
u know, if u're just trying to express your views about the country, that's fine. but it stops there. as mere views of yet another unhappy singaporean.
but if u're trying to get everyone else to hate the nation along with u, u should get spanked.

Poverty is everywhere, in every country, every state, every city, its not only in "Sinkapore"
As well, there are other forms of savings. Banks are not the only way you can save money. -
i said it before, i say it again, so what do you propose ?

there's always good and bad.. there will be no perfect place, but the sign's of deteriorating is pretty bad...Originally posted by aRcTiC_sTaR:What's so wrong with your Sinkapore then?

see my first post.. are you sure you never see anything of the above ?
what we need is democracy in sinkapore thats sadly missing... -

in life... im here to create awareness of whats the real situation... it's alright if
we are of different view.. after-all its a forum... -
Yes... but we are going backwards... we had a number of records last year,Originally posted by elindra:Poverty is everywhere, in every country, every state, every city, its not only in "Sinkapore"

sadly all for the wrong reason... high bankruptcy, unemployment, high number
of cars scrapped, record low COE pricing... isn't that a sign of things had
failed ? -
If a company is not doing well, what is the reason? MANAGEMENT.. yes... you got it.. change the management...Originally posted by BeEtHoVeN:i said it before, i say it again, so what do you propose ?
we can also, by changing our management if they didn't do well... how many more years do we still give before we realise the mistake ? by then , will it be a case of too late ? -
I doubt that you hold any respect for the country that you're born in. If so, do at least hold Singapore's name in reverence, and not call it 'Sinkapore' the way you like it.

and promote u as the prime minister ?Originally posted by caramon:If a company is not doing well, what is the reason? MANAGEMENT.. yes... you got it.. change the management...

There's a reason why the current Singapore Government has been in office for as long as Singapore gained its independence.Originally posted by caramon:If a company is not doing well, what is the reason? MANAGEMENT.. yes... you got it.. change the management...

I just see this as an economic cycle. Happens all the time.Originally posted by caramon:Yes... but we are going backwards... we had a number of records last year,

Just finish whining and crying and move on and fix things right.
If everyone thought like you, hoo boy, our economic will definately hit the downward spiral -
