control on the media from internet?
Might as well shut off the internet to SG intranet... -
Haw ….basically, there are two camps in sgforums – those who support PAP’s policies and those who criticize it’s policies.
We can now confirm which camp has swallowed hook, line and sinker.
Now they should be embarrassed. -

[b]JOIN BACK WITH MALAYSIA????

but i guess he's also taking a dig at malaysia for its bumiputra policies, without looking into the circumstances that they are in, even though i agree more could be done to integrate chinese and indians in their society.
he also shed light on official statistics that more PRC students are freeloaders of our scholarship policies than indians, and my constant observation that there are now more indian people and even whole families in singapore wherever i go. -
lol more " censorship is good " from our beloved MM.
*Wonders if he saw that thread here on his birthday*

But for sure, Spore will never reunite with Msia.
It's just a silly comment. -
I think not only PRC students, a lot of students from SE ASIA also doing the same thing.Originally posted by ^tamago^:well, the article did mention an analyst saying he's probably thinking 50 to 100 yrs down the road when we probably wun be as prosperous as now.

No foreigner, whether heÂ’s Chinese or other race, in his right frame of mind will choose SGP as a home.
Lack of space
Fcking humid climate
High cost of living
Huge domestic debt
No social welfare
No proper respect for the elderly
Mandatory NS for able young men(if exempted, locals will be displeased)
The list can go on and onÂ…..
Only home grown Singaporeans have a sense of pride of calling SGP home.
However, many chose to leave. You go figure out why. -
currency how?
peg to msia? -

Mainly because they'll be employed as the upper ranks in corporates and own majority of Sentosa Cove, top membership in countryclub and daily shopping at town. -
If local currency peg to Malaysia, our standard of living is going to be lower.Originally posted by missqi:currency how?

This merger together with Malaysia is not an easy matter to deal with n many
area to look out for such as education. -
wun lah. it'll be a crazy move that will drain singapore's talent faster than create a common market. even hong kong has not changed currencies yet.Originally posted by missqi:currency how?

Who say standard of living is going to be lower, it is just like comparing those lifestyle in KL and those suburbs towns like Ayer Hitam. I dun think it will be lower.Originally posted by will4:If local currency peg to Malaysia, our standard of living is going to be lower.

These are the rich who can afford to go anywhere where there's fun. They are also like grasshoppers, can hop anywhere.Originally posted by vIn.Warrior:well, but there are some foreigner who chose to flock to Spore.

Try to name something which Sgp has whiere other countries do not have. Then you'll have a clearer picture. -

Anyway, this is not my worry anymore!
Of course. 20 to 60 years down the road, you will be together with our ancestors.
I will never agree to a merger with Malaysia, definitely.
As for the part on media... everything is right where logic prevails.
Some says Earth is round, while others believed it's flat. All produced evidence of sort to prove it. -

If the dynamics of a common market never realises, or the economy boom is limited to Singapore in a Malaysian background, there will be a lot of strain on the economy here caused by a peg (non one-to-one, maybe say 2.5) that will be inconsistent with reality as they travel in different directions and/or speeds.Originally posted by will4:If local currency peg to Malaysia, our standard of living is going to be lower.

However, standards of living can be affected by many dimensions and also expectations. In fact our standards of living are now more affected by global economy. With more goods produced in China nowadays, your living standards are defined as such. You have to follow the standards of the goods they produce and use it. Same with Malaysia. If chicken imports from Malaysia gets cheaper because of this, it might be of benefit and you get no reduction in standards of living.
However, you are right that when it comes to education and political stability, Singaporeans and the combined entity of both countries will not fare well.
Also, there's a huge salary discrepancy. Singaporeans earn more than their counterparts in Malaysia, generally at twice the amount converted to the same currency, and creating a common market might depress wages further and cause a manpower inbalance through an influx of Malaysians seeking jobs here through all classes. -
hmmmm .... I wud be quite happy if everyone leaves SG, then I have to figure how to live without foreign maid, plenty of space, no social life not to mention welfare, no elderly to bother me and plenty of trees to cool me.Originally posted by googoomuck:No foreigner, whether heÂ’s Chinese or other race, in his right frame of mind will choose SGP as a home.
