sometimes you don't get a job because of competition, sometime you don't get it even when there are vacancies...bottomline is that you are not good enough..
That said, no one deserves his talents...we better find a new way to distribute wealth -

In fact, almost everyone in the world has some immigrant ancestors. Even the white in US originated from England. -
These days, the immigration criteria is less stringent. So long as you have worked here for 1 year, you fit the bill, they will grant you resident status. This is due to our deperado government touting for new residents to increase the population to 6 million.Originally posted by kramnave:Then again my mum came from Malaysia, grandparents from China/Malaysia, great-grand parents from China/Portugal....

Spoke to one of my mainlander friend some time back, she was saying these days the Singapore permanent resident status is no longer valuable like the past, because it's so easy to get permanent residence.
The drastic increase in population resulted in an imbalance of housing, which resulted in large increases in housing prices. -
MRT getting jialat because SMRT chose to decrease the frequency of it's service, so that it can generate more profits per trip.Originally posted by hiphop2009:lol.

The eastbound from City Hall was like 7 minutes during peak hours. I saw 3 train load of passengers from southbound reached City Hall before 1 eastbound train arrived. -
the news is out. More people.Originally posted by mr_sotong:.. and the challenge for its people to squeeze into trains during peak hours..

What is the implicit implication?
more people does that mean more congestion?
More people, does that mean need more amenities.
does that mean need more of everthing?
is anything in life free?
using globerlization and oil pricing, hikes were easily 'justified'. -
Singapore is a small place.
It is wise to increase the population to such a figure as 6 million?
I think standards of living will decrease due to overcrowding. -
And not to mention what when there is another Sars outbreak with the economy plunging into minus territory. What should we do to survive? Lick each other backsides to drive the economy?
Frankly, the whole thing of growing the economy size to six millions people smells of a rat.
The govt didn't spell it out clearly during the last election. It seems hastily formulated, without open or public debate.
I have read the PAP magazine where MBT glowed on growing the population size to six millions. That article contained no element that was convincing to me.
Until now, I have yet to read or see anything that is convincing. That is, the positive aspects of growing the population outweight its neagtive aspects.
Worse still, I am beginning to see the quality of these new migrants. To describe them - economic migrants and not the real talent that we should supplement. -
treat singapore as a place for you to work and sleep, just like a hotel... if you treat singapore as your own country, you will feel sad why it turns into a money country... so just treat is as a hotel, you will feel better...
don't bother, don't care, sh1t and go
