and 2 of my boys recently kana sacked for being lazy ... ask them to do work..drag their feet and slowly siamed work..(cos they did nite part time job...and slept at midnight).
now they both wasted their jobs...!

i think if i ever find a part time job outside, i'll get paid better than the crap i'm getting now.
and WITHOUT the 24hr duties.

I think Singapore may be a developed country but when it comes to employee benefits and treatment of staff, the govt probably ranks only slightly better than China.

our gahmen wants to be competitive mah...so they do all they can to ensure employers that they will not be subject to the same laws that are usually present in developed countrieswe're also one of the few countries on this planet with no unions!

nothing beats brainless when it comes to cabin crew.
those waiters / waitresses in the skies get more than a technically skilled person.

I remember donkey years ago, when I went to the wet market, one large fresh fish would cost anything from SGD8-15. Plus vegetables and stuff for another two dishes, all in would cost about SGD 30 or so. That's for two home-cooked meals for two... albeit large portions and everything's nice and fresh and 'the best'.
I think it IS possible to raise a family on that income, but I don't think elindra nor I can do it lor. It means having to forsake too many things that we've grown to love and be used to.
I remember going to marketing with mom and I'd ask her, "What vegetable / fish is this? How come we never had it before? " and she'll say "Cheap vegetables, only really poor families eat them."
I think she meant those living in rented HDB one-room apartments. It's quite sad because they really have to scrimp. 
I don't think we can too
We only eat the expensive fishes like red garoupa at home before I got married and we are kinda fussy too :P
Heck we don't even eat pomfret >.<" (I know we're teochew but I HATE pomfret) unless it is deep fried and drenched in black vinegar coz pomfret has this 'unique' taste to it's flesh.
And somemore my mum will buy back stuff like lobster or giant prawns to cook one :x
So spoilt :x
Up till today I dunno how to appreciate fish like selar?? You know those you eat with nasi lemak

Whitley Road Detention Centre to Become Luxury Condos
Posted on Monday, June 09, 2008
Topic: Local News
by Pak Cham Kai
As studio apartments continue to shrink in size, the Gahmen has decided to repurpose the Whitley Road Detention Centre by converting it into a luxury condominium.
“It has come to our attention that property developers in Singapore are churning out more and more studio tiny apartments that are less than 500 square feet in size,” said Hum Affairs Ministry spokeswoman Mdm Rumah bte Kechil. “As we face an uncertain economy, we at the Ministry thought it was prudent to try to maximize revenue while we can.”
Accordingly, the notorious Whitley Road Detention Centre, which once housed former solicitor-general Francis Seow and more recently, terrorist Mat Alamak until his dramatic escape from a toilet, will be converted into high-end studio apartments.
“If people want to live in kichi cells, well, why not give them real ones instead of faux ones?” explained Mdm Rumah. “Each ce… sorry, sorry, studio apartment has very airy bathrooms with large windows, a 24 hour concierge manned by recently laid-off Gurkhas, and close proximity to Orchard Road as well as fine educational institutions like SJI, SCGS and the Old Police Academy.”
Mdm Rumah also dismissed the centre’s reputation as being a turn-off for buyers. “We’re known for our strong air-con treatment, but with the weather so bleddy hot nowadays, that’s exactly what people are looking for.”
If the Whitley Road experiment goes well, said Mdm Rumah, the Gahmen might consider repurposing Changi Prison too. “I mean, it’s a popular site. Near to the sea and great eateries… and we also keep getting repeat tenants, like Dr. Chee Don Juan.”
Meanwhile, home furnishings retailer Courts has reported a marked drop in the number of customer complaints following the jail sentences imposed on Dr Chee Don Juan and his sister Ms Chee Shiok Sial. "We can't entirely explain it," said a spokesman. "But we think that after wha'ppen to the Chees, people are scared they'll also kena for contempt of Courts." -

Exposé: Civil Servants Training to Respond to Citizens' Complaints
Posted on Tuesday, June 10, 2008
Topic: Politics
We bring you a secretly-taped video of civil serpents and gahmen officials undergoing training to learn how to deal with citizens' complaints and feedback on a range of topics from human rights demands, to calls for resignation after cockups, to the world's highest salaries...
This training session took place at the headquarters of Temasekshimaya Holdings, which might explain the name that the participants are chanting at the start of the video... Now you'll know why their response to our feedback is all the same...
Click here to see!
Note: Someone has pointed out that this video may actually be of Koreans, not Singaporeans. If that's the case, we apologize, though in our defence, we must say it's easy to confuse countries which have so much in common, like a secretive government, a tightly-controlled media, a Great Leader who's succeeded by a Dear Leader, etc... -
