last SG · 2008-06-18T10:59:57+00:00

Not even sure if that number is accurate... The papers a few days ago also say 150,000 Singaporeans stayed abroad.If only 1000 a year, means 100+ years of mi...

If u look at China, their military technology is surpassing those of this country. Their R n D is already being praised by some of the leader in this country.

You mean they have F16, F15E and Apache?

Thats because of their size not technology.

China has the capability to produce their own fighter jets, it might nt be comparable to the americans jets that singapore has, but bear in mind, the f's that we have here in singapore are all American technology...

So saying China is more technologically advance in military hardware than Singapore is not wrong.

LKY no longer cries over quitter sgporean. He is making Sg a mecca for foreigners.

Soon the remaining sgporean will live in a country where they call themselves citizens but actually is a minority within a majority of foreigners.

I remember the type of rifle China produced locally for their army is similar to SAF SAR 21 rifle. Coming back to the matter of 1000 local going to migrate, some of

them posted to China is also not planning to come back.

I need ask many of the local forumer regarding u peole wanting to migrate to other countries. Please list the reason.

whampoard SG

There're lots of Singaporeans overseas never come back for a long time and lots of foreigners here who look like they will be here for a long time. But when 1000 people bother to make the application to cancel their S'pore citizenship, it means something.

How many did so because Singapore don't allow dual citizenship (1 of the few countries in the world).

Today, Singapore is trying to lure overseas university into singapore, so that these great talents can study here and hopefully stay and help to build singapore..

The idea of building a fourt university to encourage poly graduates to study here cause when majority of them go to other countries, they never came back.

There is a case mentioned in National Day speech mentioning how one MP was surprised to find a pair of old couple staying by themselves, when asked about their children, MP kena told that the children after graduation from poly went abroad for their university study n refused to come back.

Poor parents, these is true, abroad education bring in western culture, and westerner are not so family orientated as our Asian do.

I agreed that nobody can stop them, parents, MP also cannot stop. I read that the govt subsidized $20000 for a local graduate in their study in local university.

Poly graduates definitely need to upgrade so to earn higher salary. Somehow govt need to do something to stop the brain drain. This country got 150000 locals migrated to all part of the world already.

I need to understand something. US, Canada or Australia have plenty of racism esp they mighht go to attack Asian. How come many local still want to migrate there?

AndrewPKYap SG

In Australia, the salary is three times higher because they have not flooded the country with foreigners in order to lower the wages unlike Singapore. The cars, and houses costs much less.

The only thing to keep Singaporeans at home is if they see this as their home and country but with the PxP supporting foreigners and making silliporeans second class citizens, it is stupid not to go if you can.

Just as you would not want to go near Chao Ah Bengs in Singapore, you just avoid the racists, if you meet any.

Its like why people want to live at the foot of volcanoes, the risk is greater but so is the reward..

Yes us poly-grads can survive with diploma.. but many of us wants to study on... and the average of us are not given a chance in Singapore right now... U can say I no use or stupid... but fact remains.

Australian salaries are pegged to inflation and living costs plus union pressures(if I am not wrong), not what you like to think. Houses have increased significantly in prices due to population increase but not as expensive as the 99 year lease ones in Singapore.

There is no way to avoid meeting racists . Some are quiet about being racist. You just have to treat everyone like how you like to be treated and hope that they do the same for you.
