While I am thankful that our elected representatives had thrown open the door to our treasury, this gift from our forefathers who had supported and squirrelled their hardearned money is meant for the next generation in social spending.
Personally, I feel guilty and ashamed using it, for these money is meant for our new baby citizens, their education, their needs, and for our aged, our old, and our sick.
The only way i can assuge this guilt is to ensure that what i had received, I will make sure it will help me during this crisis and be able to quadraple the amount given and give it back to the treasury to ensure our young and old are protected.
I hope everyone of us citizens will do this. We are no longer animals of the wild where the strongest survive, but live in a civilised society where the strong must and will protect the weak.
We are weak now, and are being protected by the savings and contributions of our forefathers, and when we are strong again, we must remember the debt we owe, regardless of whoever administers the nation.
It is our society, the majority, that is paramount and where our allegience lay.

We are an import dependant nation. You will have realized that whatever purchases we made, it is for products manufactured elsewhere, eg- cars from Japan, textile from India, bags from China, etc.
Effectively, when we apply the Keynesian methods to save our domestic economy, we not only save our importers and traders, we also helped save other countries' citizens, a mere drop, but a drop nevertheless.
Thus, in order that we save our exporting industry, we must spread the word to them, to tell them to spend rationally as well, explain the reasons to them too.
Then no one there needs to be retrenched. You only need to tell this to one friend, and ask them for a promise to tell to another the same, be him/her a fellow citizen, malaysian, american or congolese.
In this manner, theoratically, within months, all humans on our planet would have understood and the financial crisis will be over. Some companies will fold, as a recession will show up the excesses and failures of managements.
The workers will be laid off, but they will be able to find alternative employment with more efficient companies as the market recovers.
Individual govt actions can only do so much to stimulate their economies. But it will be the citizens, who must have confidence, must rationally spend, circulate their money and not hoard it, that will save our world.
Please do not believe that you are insignificant, a mere speck in the air, and can't help. You are vital and important to our race - the human race. Had always been. Saving the world begins with you if you do this.
If you don't this, then...our spending...and our funds....would have been...... in .....vain...........

You don't have to show all of your qualifications. Just show those that are necessary.
-
Please lah.
In singapore when they say upgrading it actually means lowering your expectations and taking on lower paying jobs for those with no paper qualifications.
Only that the word "upgrading" makes it sound better.

the taiwan govt very generous, they are also giving the consumer vouches to foreign spouses who have no ID in taiwan. They give but never expect the people to show them their money first. Over here to receive the money from the incompetent lee hsien loong there must be money in the CPF account. Same goes to when they give baby bonus. IN sg, the govt want you to show them your money first, no money no talk.

Why should companies hire someone who is new to a line that he just switched to?
Older than younger FTs?
How much they require for salary compare to FT?
Why should companies hire ?
Need to time-off annually for some 'nobel sacrifice'?
Got family, kids and house to pay off?
Is it pro-biz environment?
Why why why ? Tell me why would companies not hire FTs who can do contract, are cheaper and younger and endless in supply? why why why
