You know, this is just so amazing that our government stress us all out by applying all their Hardball Policies on us, introduce FTs to decimate people's livelihood, increase costs of living every year, and then keeps telling us to welcome foreigners make them happy and generally lick their shoes...
... while THEY, our "EVER VICTORIOUS" government, merrily increases their pay!!
I think we are grossly Short-Changed, and treated like farking LIVESTOCKS that they MILK & SLAUGHTER!!!!!
NNB!!!

Sometimes I wonder.........
They say without all these FTs, the factories will move to China and we Singaporeans will lose jobs. They expect to pay us China wages and have Singapore's cost of living.
We might as well let the factories move to China, then we seek employment in the factories there. Hell! Whatever they pay us there, we can survive, because the cost of living is a whole lot cheaper there. Moreover, they will pay foreigners higher.
In the end, Singapore will end up as a ghost town. -
i was in government sector last time, i always think that they have underpaid meOriginally posted by maurizio13:All depends on what kind of job you are doing lah. If I am doing a job serving the public and my salary already afew hundred thousands a year, I might forgo the raise. Give me so much money, I also don't know where to spend, I can't take it with me when I die leh. It's very subjective also, if the person is greedy, the more the merrier, you give them $10 million a year, they will gladly take. Greed don't know what is paiseh.
and it is true
i know where to spend the millions if they give me
i will build an animal home!!
i always feel that animals r gd for ppl.
if a person is an animal lover, he or she can't be that bad

last ime, GST increase from 3% to 5%, already frustrated liaoOriginally posted by ShutterBug:I'm not sure if I'm right, but, 5 years back - I don't recall reading anything about commuters assaulting bus drivers, or commuter whacking another commuter over a slight pushing incident while boarding.
But now, such incidences are reported over a period of within two months!
now 5% to 7%, damn pissed off, so start with fighting, later we can go rioting liao -

Animal therapy is good for people.
They do that for old folks and physically challenged people in other countries.
Heals the soul.
They use to have a Noah's Ark (Animal Shelter) in Singapore last time, think they shifted to Malaysia. They housed lots of abandoned animals. -

I will migrate in maybe another 10 years, unless there is a dramatic change in the governance. Maybe New Zealand where it's less authoritarian and the air is fresher.Originally posted by Kenashi:we r the sheep waiting for the slaughterhouse

plenty of animal shelters here have moved to Malaysia, cheaper n more land mass for the animals
i always support such groups since they really need our help, i remember ASD even have a racehorse with them
the poor thing narrowly escape death when it can't run anymore. -

nice plan, i want to keep a horse so that i can feel the rush when i am riding in the woods, a dog to keep me company when i am running, a cat which i can pet when i am reading by the fireplace n a chichila which i can play with when i am bored
back to the topic otherwise TS will say that we hijacked his thread -
If we want a population of 6.5 mil, bashing up someone shouldn't be a private matter for lawyers to handle.

At 6.5 million, definitely more social friction.Originally posted by mancha:If we want a population of 6.5 mil, bashing up someone shouldn't be a private matter for lawyers to handle.
Put more inmates into an already over crowded prison is a sure way to start a fights, killings and riots.
But why the hell would they care, they don't use public facilities. -
i think it is difficult to achieve this target.Originally posted by mancha:If we want a population of 6.5 mil, bashing up someone shouldn't be a private matter for lawyers to handle. -
I think we Singaporeans in general have alot of inner anger, don't express our emotions well; we wouldn't have an outlet even if we did express them well.. the recent turn of events - price hikes, exorbitant ministerial pay, etc - have only served to confuse and anger us further. We can be a demanding, unreasonable lot, but it's only to mask the fact that many of us are actually big softies. I think we're being taken advantage of, we know it, we don't know what to do about it, and we're pissed. Big time.

Look at the physical violence these days. It's substitution effect taking place. -
Pent-up anger? I think it's a matter of poor upbringing. The 2 violent bus commuters have serious attitude issues.
You may say that work deprives parents of quality time with their kids, but even when they're together the former aren't doing the right thing. Just look at the thread in Chit Chat where the man assaulted a blind man in front of his children, or the parents who watch on as their children kick stray cats or stone birds. -
agreed, but to a certain extent, maybe it wasn't, most likely because they might be depressed. Depress people can get angry when they're not supposed to.Originally posted by Kuali Baba:Pent-up anger? I think it's a matter of poor upbringing. The 2 violent bus commuters have serious attitude issues.
