That is why I am still in AustraliaOriginally posted by oxford mushroom:If you want the best talents, you must be prepared to pay competitive wages. This is a global market. If you do not pay talented young professionals enough, foreign employers will.
. I am proud to call myself ....what did SM Goh call us a few years ago....Oh yeah A QUITTER.
They pay me the rate that Singapore does not want to. Did I mention that I get free life insurance and free income insurance plus free total disability insurance? All with the protection of a welfare health system.
So there is no point of return for me now. Why give up my lifestyle and earnings for my birth country which treats me like a second rate citizen? -

The issue is not just a country losing talents but losing citizens; talented CITIZENS. Money can buy talent, but what can buy citizens?Originally posted by oxford mushroom:If you want the best talents, you must be prepared to pay competitive wages. This is a global market.

It is amazingly naive for our government to expect citizens to be top in education, science or business around the world but to brainlessly absorb every word they say as truth. such an insulting attitude would drive the intelligent away.Originally posted by robertteh:This article confirms that the whole system of so-called talents or leadership is just an excuse to allow leaders to perpetuate themselves in power.
If there is a true appreciation of talents there will be more leeway to promote the growth of intellectual discussions, widen choices on decision making and changing past policies and actions to correct mistakes in education, technology and knowledge application and helping out our own local businesses and industries to do well to compete with foreign businesses.
Now slowly as our ministers talk to foreign leaders they will find their own thinking on talents, leadership and technology application is too narrow and self-centred and they will expose themselves to more and more ridicule.
you cant tell intelligent people how and what to think. they expect our pple to be savvy and shrewd in business but be politcally naive and swallow whatever they say. worst, when they want to contribute in anyway that does not conform to their own narrow interpretation of facts, these intellectuals or experts were criticised or ignored. This is a sure way to tell the talented that they are better off elsewhere. -
With all these sub-std Gods here,I had given up hope for Sinkapore!!!!

They are picking and choosing people who would let them remain in power. They are nurturing top educated supporters . Not talents.Originally posted by LazerLordz:One day, the MIW will realise that you cannot pick and choose what you want.

Many of the local talents have left for other countries. There is going to be a documentary on local successful in NY next week.Originally posted by LazerLordz:One day, the MIW will realise that you cannot pick and choose what you want.

I tell you, over time, population of Singapore will be comprised of Foreigners, PRs, and only the Rich locals. Because the poor and the middle incomers will have either died off, or flown elsewhere.
And if only the Rich locals are left, do you think they will stay when a downturn happens, or if war happens they will stay to fight??? -
The granddaughter got ang mo father still must have Chinkish name.Originally posted by foomwee88:Useless Goh slapped his own face with the daughter who is a quitter!!!
If my wife is pure-blooded Euro, I have good reasons not to give my kid any Chinkish name, even though the law says they die die must follow their dad's surname. -
Even if I have a daughter who is half - european , she will have a chinese name because my civilisation is more ancient than european civilisation. It's her roots and she has to learn to be proud of being even a half bred part of the Chinese civilisation.Originally posted by iveco:The granddaughter got ang mo father still must have Chinkish name.

Anyway, my cousin's sons have an Irish dad. They look nothing like an Asian and don't carry any Asian names. -
