well-said!!! as a foreigner since childhood, singapore has been
my 2nd home for the last 18years. it has groomed me to be what i am
today. now that i am an adult and working here as an engineer, i
find it so difficult to cope the ever increasing cost i have to
bear everyday....worse part is the pay that i have remains
unchanged. i have to constantly job hop in order to keep up the
pace.
how can we survive?? with all the loans, GST hikes, cab fare
hikes...so on and so forth. it simply doesn't seem help the people
to cope. i know alot of my friends are not happy too but we, as the
people cant really do much about it. 'just accept lor....', this is
the mentality of a typical singaporeans.
the system is in such a way that we can no longer enjoy the fruit
of our labour. just work and work till we die...how to plan for
retirement?? i know some people here are rich and were bornt with
the silver spoon. they know nothing about the hardship other people
are going through. but then again, i was told that 'singaporeans
are not cash-rich, just asset-rich'
and what about the less fortunate people out there? they may not be
homeless but they are poor....'poverty', my friend, is very real in
this country and it really exist. people just choose to ignore
it.....
i, for one has made the decision to leave this country to seek for
a better home.
