My siblings studied overseas and since then they are there and don't have intention to return.Originally posted by will4:He is also worried about losing talent to other countries n in fact, he mentioned once he worried about those local going to work or study in

Get FTs here, kill two birds with one stone. Tap on their talent and at the same time hope they become citizens and multiply so Singapore will have 6m (population). Also, if they become citizens, they may vote them.Originally posted by ShutterBug:It is pointless of him to worry, but not do anything to retain locals - talented or otherwise...

The difference in the US is that even though crime rates are high, and that people may own guns, YOU, can still protect/defend yourself by doing the same.... You are ALLOWED your RIGHTS as a HUMAN to do whatever you need to do to SURVIVE...Originally posted by will4:In spite of many reason US is crime ridden country n also can own a gun legally, how come many people from all over the planet including Spore want
to go there? US also produced nobel peace prize winner n yet no Spore cannot.
Is it rocket science most sane, rational people would want to go somewhere where they can exercise their fundamental human rights and possess civil liberties which are rightfully accorded and protected by the rule of law (and you have every bit the right your President - well, bar the Executive rights - has)?Originally posted by will4:In spite of many reason US is crime ridden country n also can own a gun legally, how come many people from all over the planet including Spore want

Will they be able to understand they need to compete with other countries for talent?Originally posted by ShutterBug:What do you mean MAY vote them? The whole scheme is to "import" voters!
I been harping about this notion since last year....!
Foreign babies, foreign talents/labour, foreign citizen converts, foreign voters..
but.. ultimately I believe it won't work on the voting part..
foreigners also have eyes and brains to see what kind of government they are ...
