  Singaporeans dare to go to the streets? More like they will stay indoors hiding. Even better, they are afraid the Govt would track them down for voting for Opposition. They allow themselves to be bullied by their own Govt.
  
  When the Govt robs them of their own money, they just stay indoors and grumble quietly. They even forget it by the time of the next elections. Go on, continue being robbed. I will make sure I get myself off this sinking ship ASAP.
  
  Well Done Singapore! Keep up the Cowardice!

  You display an astounding lack of knowledge.
  But then, an empty vessel makes the most noise.

  Yeah yeah yeah... typical inferiority complex of Singaporeans.
  
  It is ok to admit oneself is an idiot, but not ok to ignore the realities of the situations.

  At least you are acknowledging that FTs are not absolutely bad for Singapore, so long "IF they contribute to the economy and bring a skill that we don't have or not enough". A fair statement and a far cry from those who Kpkb just because it is a government policy to allow FTs here.
  
  They forgot that countries like australia, UK and USA all gives priorities to foreigners with professions that are needed like nursing to enter their countries.
  They forgot that usually it is the MNCs who decide if they employ foreigners or locals.
  They forgot that the majority of the foreign workers employed by local companies are construction workers or garbage collecters whose jobs local don't need to do.
  
  I will say hypocrite are those who complain about FTs in Singapore but go overseas and take up a job that the locals are capable of doing. This applies to everybody and everywhere.
  
  Having said that, we can't identify the hypocrite cause we don't know enough about them, it will be up to the hypocrite to identify themselves. So all you out there, if you are working overseas, and yet complaining about FTs in Singapore, if you have actually replaced a local who is capable of doing your job, knowingly or accidentally, then you are a hypocrite, you know OK liao, we don't have to tell you.

  Well in most cases if there are no jobs in Sg to support your family than you have to go outside your environment to get jobs right. So whatever it takes to make a living.
  
  i think we are going to slowly move into an era of mobilities and national boundaries are less obverse. Internet will help us to connect as who we are.
  usually our childhood will be the one that dictate who we are. So all those FT that have kids in SG. They will probably return some day. Just like the Salmon fish where river run through.

  So, cowardice is being prudent and pragmatic? Cowardice is not showing any outward disapproval of the PAP's methods? Cowardice is if we know it is impossible to do anything to change the system if we all sit here bickering amongst ourselves?
