I think its not a must to have a lot money to migrate. Just marketable skills also can liao. Or I may mistaken you?
Seems like many are talking if not suggesting of migrating.
We are all free to choose.
But what if all who dun like the current system migrate?
These are definitely people who are capable to some extent, having the international value to migrate.
But it also can mean that the opposition will forever be as weak as it is now.
Those who gave up and packed up want some kind of change.
If all migrate, there will be no change in the most fundamental way.
Can still keep your citizenship for a while longer while you work or live overseas , in a country that gives you more of what you lack here.
If all things fail , come back having the citizenship still in your wallet.
As long as we can extend the work permit, you need not come back right? Unless that country dun have voting arrangement for you.
Who knows, nothing and no man lasts forever. One day, maybe your kind of change will be realised ?
To prevent being bombarded by white internet squad, I will say that I am a white supporter. Entertain them. -

I know a friend of mine who moved to UK with his wife and children. While he was working there, he asked his Singapore-based parents to help him financially (he was paying rent). After a few years, he could not take the financial burden and came back.
Put it crudely, he went there and work, paid for someone else's mortgage because he rented a flat, paid for someone else's pensions through his salary and screw.ed his own parents and himself. -

A democracy allows its citizens to participate in the political process, and to determine how government take care of them - so that even ''if you dont work no food to eat you also wont become hungry'' - can you say the same for Singapore ?Originally posted by Gazelle: 28 August 2007 04.33PM

In any case, are you ''ON Topic'' when CPT Miller had said that the fellow who failed in his business in Singapore had GOT A JOB THERE AND NOW DOING QUITE WELL'' ?
How did you brilliantly manage to understand his reply that allowed you to veer off into another direction and to make an unwaranted mockery of the British Welfare System ? -
Some local numbering about 150000 worked or study in other countries. I believed some cannot succed in here n chose to go to other countries.Originally posted by Gazelle:UK has democracy mah, so even if you dont work no food to eat you also wont become hungry.
The also became successful. More so the programme "Asian Expat" which is over is a good real life example for local, if they really want to succeed, they can do it also. -

The peanut in Singapore can be too big to chew, so it is best that when you are a visitor in someone's home - it is better to be ''Monkey See, Monkey Do''.
