Its silly how many moutanin tortoise in singapore want to
migrate and such.
let me tell u once u u are down there, u will start to miss your
frens, relatives and family, unless u have the resources to move
them all over to yr new destination.
Well, it is quite true that u cannot be rich in s'pore easily,
but s'pore provides more value for the bucks than what overseas can
provide. Safety, lively clean surroundings, ease of life and
an efficient transport system.
The most important aspect is the culture and food and festivals
that u have grown up with.
Are u willing to let all these go for some secluded lonely life
in a foreign destination?
How many of u agree with me?
it's interesting your choice of words, people who wanted to move,
especially after making informed choices are `mountain tortoise' as
you put it?
if you stayed in singapore all your life, what does that make
you to be?
getting connected with friends, relatives, etc. are easy enuf
thru' technology. and how often you visit your relatives &
friends here since you live here anyway?
when you have a family, sometimes how you view things with
different perspective take precedence. you don't do things for
yourself anymore. the same if you are single, or just have a small
family, your prerogatives are diffirent. parents know that they
have to let their children `go' when they reach a mature age of
wanting to live their own lives. it would be selfish to hold their
children back.
if singapore works for you, well and good. singapore is not
without its merits, but for the rest who are better off elsewhere,
let them be. let them experience what is it outside and decide if
it is for them or that they need to come back to singapore.
and you have not offered any points on why the other side is
bleaker?
so, how can you draw your conclusion?
