2nd generation PRs...
but hey... it's a good thing.. singapore doesn't need people who come here, live off the fat of the land (whatever fat there is) and then bellyache about the very place that sustains them..Originally posted by Kachui:eh...PR must serve in army-meh??? -
Li Ao .. all these people just talk and talk but their country still have many problems.
They are so smart and analytical i would advise them to get their country up and running first.
Singaporeans have very good life liao.. but for some reasons some of them are just full of complaints. I certainly don't understand what is there for you people to complain about.
If you all think that an utopia country exist, then that explain why you all are complaining day in day out. The problem is that complainers over spend their salary, don't know how to do budgeting and saving. Therefore, end up no money, so complain about govt this and that.
Don't pick on govt faults and keep complaining. Govt are just like you and us. we make mistakes all the time. Are you harping on your mistakes, your parents mistakes all the time. It would be irritating , isn't it? -
I agreed a country should not be always looking to its past glory. What are the policies that the govt had messed up?
As for the CPF's annuity, I think this will cause many people especially those locals planning to migrate to give up their citizenship to get their CPF money.
i am one of those who has similar thoughts. but the thoughts that once i gone, the govt dont allow me to come back as citizens upset me. afterall, why govt threaten me with my own money? i still have difficulty understanding it

dont come here brainwash us lah you sneaky old man

TS can go kiss Li Ao's backside and suck his c0ck!

i dont understand why you dont let ppl whine. if you consider debating in parliament as problems then probably every damn developed country in the world has a " problem".
Imagine this, the company you work in record profits loss due to CEO mistakes, and the CEO say, every employee must use part of your salary to buy company products which you dont need, like it or not.
i bet your parents dont take millions dollars from you to make mistake. if they do, i bet you will whine the loudest too. if you contribute just couple of hundreds a mth, probably your expectation will be lower.
if you mention singaporeans has a good life, it depends who you compare with. thailand? malaysia? or switzerland. if you compare switzerland we are not there yet. compare to malaysia, maybe but the standard living is different and govt take less from ppl too. -
I agree..we lack quality....look at their kacang store seller...our MAMA how to compete.....
yeah, we need that super hot gals in our streets. indeed this is another category we cannot compete with taiwanese! -

Time and again, you call Singapore Sillypore.....Singaporeans Sillyporeans.Originally posted by Coquitlam:Thank God I emigrated and took out my CPF.....I knew all along that its a matter of time the CPF will slowly get out of reach of the ordinary Sillyporean....
Can't imagine we have been so dumb all this while and they always assume that they are right......its always the same old line of excuse...we are doing what is right for you as we do not want to be blamed 30 years from now for not taking steps to take care of you....eeeks....puih!!!
I'm very sure they will find more ways to lock in your CPF after this annuity thingy...what's next?....compulsory medical annuity? etc....
Bottomline is CPF does not belong to the people
Since you are already in Canada, happy and settled, good for you.
Coming back to repeatedly slam Singapore just shows you have more than an axe to grind. Perhaps you have had grievances here that few know about.
True blue Singaporeans do not just leave with a snap of their fingers. Much more factors have to be taken into account.
If you have already become a Canadian, then it is better to bother about domestic issues back home than be an alien here. -

I think what is meant was , if i may, does an environment we live in have ANY effect on our behavior? If the answer is Yes, then, put a singaporean to live in another country, the environmental / social factors is no longer there replaced by something else and thus its possible that spine can grow.Originally posted by kramnave:So singaporeans are spineless but once you cease to be singaporean you are no longer spineless ?
I am only speaking technically in regards to your question to the person who replied you. I of course do not mean singaporeans have no spine.
Actually, guys and gals, if you ask yourselves, who really determines singapore? I would say its singaporeans collectively and not any Party.
I hope to be challenged about what I just said. Who prefers to disagree with that statement, please step forward and challenge me.
I am fully convinced beyond reasonable doubt that Singaporeans can choose to have any kind of society and leaders because they just have to cast a vote. For whatever reason they cast a vote, the Majority decision OVERWRITES the 2nd Majority decision. This is called Democracy. As simple as that.
any challenge ? -
Don't lose your head so fast. Read the thread again. We are here only discussing our national problem of survival. There is no conclusion yet and all are free to add their views. If we bury our heads in the sand at the end we are not kissing asses of Li Ao but will be asking others to shaft their dick into our own asses.Originally posted by :TS can go kiss Li Ao's backside and suck his c0ck! -
Not you but we. If it is we then we sure can stand up to bullying. Have we?Originally posted by kramnave:You are Spineless !!

Not at all but it sure sounds like you agree with him that Singaporeans are Sillyporeans.Originally posted by zenden9:Coquitlam! Rock star is jealous of u holding Canadian passport -
With regards to the government, i personally do not feel bullied. If i do feel that way, i'll cast my vote for the opposition regardless of who the opposition is as there is nothing to lose. Anyway, i haven't been able to vote. Some feel bullied some don't, we will have to accept that.Originally posted by robertteh:Not you but we. If it is we then we sure can stand up to bullying. Have we? -
That is a big assumption, why would anybody be jealous of a canadian passport? Singapore passport just as convenient. But I think Canadian really got problem with their identity, go to quebec you need to speak french, else where they are mistaken as american, all Chinese in vancouver are hongkonger. It is a nice place, but you need money. When I got money I can travel there as and when I like, but never in January. Want to migrate also go to australia, why canada? like the snow?Originally posted by zenden9:Coquitlam! Rock star is jealous of u holding Canadian passport -
Aren't we?Originally posted by Rock^Star:Not at all but it sure sounds like you agree with him that Singaporeans are Sillyporeans.
