Pink IC = Asset or Liability?

SibeiSuayKia SG

To many singaporeans, i believe holding a pink ic, makes you part of this unique identity nation...

But , i believe, as time passes, government prefers foreign talents over local talents , even when it comes to academic , and sports areas..

Look at the press coverage given to foreign born athletes in singapore..
almost 100%..

Local born athletes..almost 0% coverage.. Even Tan Howe Liang is born in Swatow,China..

We , sg men, should make it compulsory for foreigners to serve NS as long as below 30 years...

Why make Sg men suffer ? While the foreign talent who supposedly has the same brains and the same stuff take our gals..

Remember , alot of us lost our gals in the 2 years of NS, furthermore given this white man challenge , we must do something about it.

Converting the liability into asset today!

Sometimes i just wish , im a citizen of nowwhere..
From young til now..ive been looking for the best country to stay in..

1. Malaysia - no equal rights for citizens , policy benefits some pple..

2. Indonesia - anti chinese racial riots not long ago..

3. China - pay low , standard of living low except in some countries..
too many pple, threat of war with USA in the next 50 years.

4. Japan - Language problems, extremely high cost of living(but got chiobus)

5. Korea - National service 2 years compulsory, train to fight DPRK , language

7. Australia - one nation party, led by pauline hanson , still very much alive
dun feel at east

8. Taiwan- threats of tornados , threat of china , earthquake

9. USA - natural disaster , racism against asians , too large , footage of police
bashing black criminals

10. Europe - not of equal race, some parts of europe not heavily developed ,
lose identity , minority , sometimes racial backlash.

No such thing as best country , even singapore quite a nice place to live in has alot of catches such as no natural resources, no parks to visit , no huge forests..

So? What do you all think is the best country in the world?
Still Think that Pink IC is a Asset..

as much as i dislike the system here, i’ll have to admit that no matter what i’ll still stay here. last time, i was like you, thinking of which country to stay in because of (higher standard of living, low cost) but then you have to realise that no matter what, you won’t be accepted anywhere else. developing countries have too many people they won’t accept you. america? australia? why would they wanna let you in when they have enough people on social welfare? although the system here does suck donkey balls its pretty much the only place you can return to and not get rejected. its like a house, though it may be a small house with lousy furniture and not some grand mansion with huge swimming pools its still your house.

I think the pink IC is a double-edged sword.

I make no mistake about it.

Australia One nation party no longer led by Pauline Hanson .One Nation is trying to get rid of the racist tag stuck onto it...their policies as I read is just the protection of jobs for Australians ...which is detrimental to me (since I am only PR) . They were created by white australians who had no jobs and had to face competition with us foreigners because we foreigners have more talent?. To them foreigners mean non whites...but unbeknownst to their poorly misled minds...the Brits and Americans are taking their jobs too.
Pauline Hanson has toned down on alot of things. She has been a jail bird too. She is running as an independent in QLD....so if u want to avoid her...go to the eastern states of Sydney and Melbourne. Melbourne city is saturated with asians. Mayor is also asian , John So, is his name.

Japanese are a xenophobic culture - they like their own kind ....their society is more racist than the western culture. You are not of japanese descent - u will issued only an equivalent of permanent residency. They do not welcome immigrants who are not japanese.

USA - the blacks are actually the ones who hate us asians more. and of course the occasional white trash as well

Europe - Scandinavian countries are welfare states....with neo nazis

there is no utopia.
therefore, either u cherish wad u have
or u'd feel miserable after realising that the grass is not so green on the otherside afterall as every country has their pros and cons.

SibeiSuayKia SG

We can always create a utopia state..haha..

but it can only satisfy the desire of one..not many..

reyes SG

both. it an asset because of pink IC i can work, got a decent job and survive. liability is because as long as you are here, you are in debts and become liability.
not bad- most ppl not racist in fact- well protected society in terms of jobs.

At least Australia protects the welfare of its own citizens even though they have no national obligations. In Singapore, the reservists make so many sacrifices and yet get little fringe benefits in return. The best example is the SIA Pilots’ case, in which SIA chose to axe its SGrean employees rather than foreigners attached from other organisations. The fact that we needed a MYsian PR in the SIA Pilots’ Union to arouse the feelings of its (SGrean)members is very ironic.

Firstly, you get money or not? If not and you are thinking about going anywhere to find job and make money, you can almost strike off most of the countries.
Secondly, if you are very young, no family to support, you can go and try. Good luck!
If I have the money, I will keep my home in Singapore, live 4 months (april, may, Sept and October when it is cool) in China where S$1000 is like S$5000 here, can eat in restaurant everyday, massage every other day and play golf once a week. Live another 2 months in Perth, go fishing and mountain climbing. Both countries you can speak the language. In between, wait for last minute air tickets discounts and travel to other countries. The greatest benefit of singapore pink IC is the passport, you can go anywhere without VISA.
No money, stay at home and talk on sqforum. Laughing

The Irish passport has more benefits. It is easier to leave Ireland for otherparts of Europe because:

1) No exit Permit is involved. Even Malaysia with its strict laws against draft-dodgers can't stop conscripts from visiting Singapore freely. I doubt Ireland has such a scheme.

2) The Republic of Ireland uses the Euro. It is possible to travel between Ireland and other states in the Euro bloc without even passing through any Customs checkpoints. What a breeze.

In short, if you are an Irish citizen, you can travel from Dublin to Paris, Milan and Madrid without even showing your passport (and the redundant exit permit).

Erm..Correct me If I am wrong, are you trying to say that you are not happy with the way the government treats locals? What makes you think that the foreigners "take our gals"? If the foreigners had the "same brain and stuff" as us, why would the government still be importing foreigners into our country? Obviously, the government believes that there is a need for foreigners in Singapore because they may have something extra which we locals do not have. Also, I believe that the girls would go for the best possible candidate available.

The Foreign talent do not have to go for reservist training for two weeks each year. Period.

shade343 SG

erm sorry..and your point is?

paperchicken SG

Best is no passport stay at the Terminal. Laughing

oldbreadstinks SG

his point is he have reservist Laughing

Exactly. It is disruptive to company operations. Some employers may be supportive, but many of them prefer foreigners. Worse, a large number of these are owned by Temasek Holdings (but almost no huge local company is independent anyway).
