Hello Singaporeans,
Damm, never expected a response like these...
Here goes the reply,
______________________________________________________________
Devil1976 : Thanks for the Welcome!
foomwee88 : Do not understand what you mean,...please clarify,... I
know where I am. Do you? Have you seen the world to appreciate it?
Wake up buddy and stop watching Miami CSI, it "clouds" your brains!
olala : I agree with you on having a more transparent gov but a
sanction is going to hurt the lower citizens in SG than to help
them. Look at Burma or read sites of "sanctioned countries". The
rich gets mightily Richer!
SG could use a change but a better way to approach it without
hurting the mid and lower class would be the solution and not a
sanction.
Do I have any solutions : Nope! SilverPal has correctly defined the
end results.
ShutterBug : I totally agree that SG is heading the wrong way and
not taking care of its people who ARE the ones that made SG what it
is today. Hardworking individuals who raised the status of SG, law
abiding, educating and re-educating themselves to keep ahead,...and
more achievements which will fill up this forum.
The world is changing for more of Capitalism and not only in SG.
We, SG, do not have a "social net". We do not have un-employment
benefits. We do not have anything to fall back on but at least we
have the CPF. Lets see if they put "their" fingers into it or as
you say, our medical insurance.
sgquitter : The salary might sound high but the living costs are
high too.
I am living in Duesseldorf, Germany.
To know more about prices :
For Cars : www.autoscout.de
For Housing : www.ImmobilienScout24.de
Both gives you an oversight of pricings. Cars are not expensive. I
drive a 1993 Honda, bought at $2500 SGD. Insurance at $1600 SGD.
Tax is at $550 SGD. Gas is at $2.70 SGD per liter.
SilverPal : For your transportation idea, the mentality of cycling
has not set into SG minds yet. Hopefully, in the near future, it
might become a trend.
I eat instant noodles too and also deep frozen pizza, which is
cheaper than the noodles!
"Ang Pow" is solely on your discretion. Nobody is twisting your
arm.
I know of many people here who are bankrupted or in financial
ruins. Its happens world-wide and sad to say, it's not
relevent.
For the car incident, it happens everywhere. Maybe, if this
happened in Japan, you might get the same abuses. Try a different
DEO, might help! 
I am not making it look as though SG is rosy, cushy etc... Just
look at the other countries before you state. Yes, SG is a
workaholic place, no recreational activities because it's all
packed up, the rat-race society where a larger LCD makes me better
etc. But all you have to do is choose what you want to make out of
it.
Tell me where and what is the good side of etc. USA, UK, Germany or
somewhere where you think is Heavenly! Reply and I will point out
to you the actual facts.
______________________________________________________________
History of Myself : I am a Singaporean. Served 6 freaking years as
a Regular in SAF. Been through all the shit as all of you
have.
Do I like the present system/polictics? : No, and I do not have any
viable/sensible solution till someone else who is willing to place
his entire career and future prospect to lead us.
Where have I resided? : Malaysia 3 years. NZ 1 year. Croatia 3
years. USA 2 years. Germany 3 years. UK 1 year.
I have been there and done that. The only reason I left was because
I did not find a suitable job with my educational background.
Cheers Guys and lets see who responses!
