Will SG a better place after the IRs and FTs all here?

My main gripes are if this does not look up after 2010, I'm making plans for a great escape just like WWII POWs soldiers from concentration camps by nazis
-
Hollywood don't make this movie about teamwork and loyalty anymore some sort like SG society no longer produce people with integerity

Reminds me the conditions of our time now:
During World War Two the Germans build a new prison camp, Stalag Luft III, for the express purpose of housing many of their most troublesome captured Allied airmen. However, all this serves to do is to pool the resources of some of the most ingenious escape artists in captivity and fill them with a resolve to engineer a mass breakout from the camp. -
Wah so pessimistic.
Then again, our existence is very fragile. Anything can happen. When some major disaster strikes, dunno can recover or not.
So be prepared. -
Bad news. A very bad one. Even PRC old man beggar is in Singapore now roadside begging for S$. Some more this one no hand, only arms. He keep saying in a thick PRC accent Xie Xie Ni. Xie Xie Ni. Xie Xie Ni.
Want to find him? Go to Bedok Central. Walkway between Bus interchange and Mrt. -
She should be a better place.. there'll be more buzz..
-
SG cannot carry on like a german machine without lubricants from the SG populace

I have seriously yet to meet someone who genuinely suffers because of the influx of foreign talent.
Most of the people I've heard who complained about jobs being stolen actually TURNED DOWN job offers, scorning the pay. Hurbris? Perhaps. Stupidity? Definately.
And it's not like there aren't jobs for the locals. Most of us just expect too much out of life. Bosses are telling me they NEED to employ locals, but can't find any who would take the job. Without local employees, companies can't legally employ foreign ones.
Unemployment rate is at an all time low in Singapore. If you truly cannot find a job, ask yourself if you are overvaluing your service to the company. -
Better is too vague a word.

A foreigner whose home currency is low compared to the S$ may accept a lower pay to maintain his family in his home country in the standard they are used to. A Singaporean with family to support in Singapore may not. -
I submit also for your consideration. The foreigner you mentioned has to work harder than the singaporean to achieve this result of being able to replace the singaporean. Should the foreigner not be rewarded for his efforts?Originally posted by phil30k:I submit for your consideration.

Similarly, should the Singaporean not reflect and put in more effort, instead of sitting still and complaining about being replaced?
That argument of yours is like two competing brands in the same market trying to gain an edge in cost cutting. When one of them loses, can he cry foul because his costs are higher than his competitor? That's ridiculous. -

Young Singaporeans these days want high pay and a relaxing job
Cannot take stress, cannot be scolded... If they can find such a job, I want it too.
