Since we pay so well,
do you think we should attract foreign talents to run our government?
I'm sure we will rank higher!!!

Laughing

I think we should replace our MPs with cheaper and better foreigners.

I'm sure we can attract talents very easily:

How ironical that while our Cabinet Ministers are the World's HIGHEST PAID POLITICAL OFFICE BEARERS - the country which they lead remain to be the 34th in the most Liveable Cities List.

Are those in the Elected Political Posts - the best talent in the supposedly limited talents in Singapore ?

Either the mistakes made are due to the limited vision in the one whom is depended on making the choice, or the criteria list for the choice to be made is simply skewed.

Do not forget these top 33 cities' MPs are paid many times less than Singapore's.

I think our PM should get replace our MPs with cheaper and better foreigners. Laughing

Cost of Living High/Quality of Life Low WHY?

If you are rich, S'pore is a good place to live- convenient, no congestion, good makan etc.
For the poor & middle class- all struggling to pay & pay

aiya...u ppl must see things from the other perspective mah...its precisely we are in 34th spot that we need to increase the ministers' pay so that they can do a better job to propel us further up the rankings.

We set a KPI for these ministers lah, must ensure Singapore be amongst the top 10 most liveable city otherwise they'll be sacked. How about that?

That is why I am living in Vancouver now onwards....and many of my friends are living in Melbourne, both voted joint top most liveable cities in the world....

Sillypore is finished, done, kaput....I encourage all to migrate, let Sillypore be a haven for PRCs, and Indians from Bangalore.....join us who have already migrated....better, can even cash out your CPF once you give up

Hmmm... 34th city in the world..... exactly how many cities are there in the world? Should be thousands right? So.... we are like in the top1-5%? We also happen to be on the top least for Asian Cities right?

34th is still pathetic...and I only want what's best for Singaporeans....to live in the world's most liveable cities

Feel good? hahah, I would encourage all to migrate and live in the top cities....no way Sillypore will progresss up the list....best solution is to migrate...after all the PRCs and INdians are coming here, they are smart....
