Goodlucks to you then... coz everywhere u go u will find problems and difficulties... our government has their reasons to do wat they need to do.(although i am strongly against with some of their policy) I think they are trying their best to make this country a place for everyone... one thing bad about Singaporeans is that they like to complain on every little discomfort... Go look at our neighbouring countries.... u think they fare better than us???

PS : China is like a big balloon waiting to burst.
of coz there r problems and difficulties when one started out in the foreign land. i wont deny that. i spent quite a great deal of time to get to know the legal procedures such as obtaining business licence, taxation, manpower recruiting, etc and most importantly, to get into the good books of the local govt officials.
now can see some positive results there already. where can give me the wealth, of coz i say where good lah.
i'm not complaining abt s'pore, juz to re-emphasise that. i admit that i dont really like s'pore, but i dont complain. i juz quietly find a way out, and it so happened to be in china.
when someone find a greener pastures elsewhere, why not move on? it's juz the same as changing jobs, to get a higher salary, to try a different working environment, to engage onto a new set of challenges. the only major difference is that mine is on an international scale.
s'pore actually not totally a bad place at all, where crime rate is low, standard of living is not bad compared to neighbouring countries and china. but then, cost of living also high, especially cars, housing, etc.
but one thing good abt s'pore is its reputation internationally. when the mainland chinese know that i'm a s'porean, they very happy. coz their impression of a s'porean is honest (corrupt-free country), easygoing and rich. it's easier to get into business partnerships than any other foreigners there. and of coz, there r some scheming chinese who see s'poreans as "carrot head" and try to see if they can cheat ur money or anything they can. there's always 2 sides of a coin loh.
yes, china might be a big balloon waiting to burst, but nobody knows when? maybe tomolo? maybe next year? maybe 5, 10 or 50 years later? but at least now i see more hope there than here. so before the balloon burst, make as much as i can loh.
if the so-called balloon burst in china, u think s'pore will not suffer? the domino effect will surely hit the whole asian economy like a tidal wave, including japan. so what's the difference between s'pore and china?
who knows? maybe i could have fled to europe or america to start from scratch all over again. but at least i gain my experience from the failure i've been thru.
