There are naive people who think that taiwan govt is worse than pappies. Black gold ..... as if pappies are perfect without flaws. Taiwan govt good or bad, at least they listen to their people. Pappies pay themselves highest pay in the world and provide us down the drain service. Transparency and corruption wise, they refuse to let our most respected late President Ong to check on them . So what shit are people talking about when they mentioned sg govt is transparent and corruption free. Please they are worse than worst so don't need to defend them. By doing so people are in accomplice with them to bring difficulty to locals.

......... and that chao lau ah qua LEE HSIEN LOONG is super attention whore. It keeps talking and talking and self praising. SELF PRAISE IS INTERNATIONAL DISGRACE! as if he hasn't disgrace singaporeans enough internationally. The more he talks the more uselessness he reveals. Empty vessel makes the most noise.

Hello. I am a half Taiwanese and I go back to Taiwan every year.

There are two sides. In Taiwan, people are much friendlier. They queue up orderly in the train stations. And everyone avoids the priority seats. Students are not stressed in schools. Everything is cheap but don't forget, the salary is also low.

Even though I love Taiwan more than Singapore, I know the better place to live in is Singapore.

In Singapore, We complain about a stressful lifestyle and high standard of living. But there is always a trade off. This is a safe country to live in, you don't have to worry about going home late at 10 or 11 at night. You don't hear about murders, rapes etc in the news on a weekly basis. The political system is relatively transparent and non currupted.

For your view on non-corrupted, it was true in the past (only 2 rare 'history' case involving from HDB and PUB board) until when our gahment decided to build 2 casinos here, and irony later, it is one of an civil servant from Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) officer who misappropriated money for 'gambling' and charged.

Also not to forget you can't even trust local 'charities' organisation nowadays cos you might never know where the money go to, just read the past NKF, Renci and the recent CHC news you will know what I mean . Do Taiwan had the same problem with charities organisation misappropriated of fund as well?

In taiwan, when govt officials do something wrong they resign to be responsible and apologise. In singapore, govt officials do not say sorry and stay on to continue suck our money.

to many people, grass is always greener on the other side....there is never a happy place for them....trade off is a wisdom in life that not many people know how to appreciate.

It is not that we love to complain but it is just too unreasonable

Pro pappies supporters who support pappies' self serving agenda will always say grass is always greener on the other side to disagree and down true blue singaporeans who have the right to expect better life in sg. Many of these are the cause of life for middle and lower income going down.

I am not a PAP-supporter. In fact, i have never voted for them :)

I am not brain-washed, I have studied enough to know the truth about Singapore's political system. (Think: the fact that Singapore government can pay themselves that kind of salaries openly, the fact that a certain family seems to be in control of Singapore etc). I do not think Singapore is a 100% free from corruption, that is why I said it was 'relative'. Then again, no country can be a 100% free from corruption. There are alot of things I dislike about here. Like any Singaporean, I do not like that the country no longer belongs to true-blue Singaporeans (I know it's ironic as I have a Taiwanese mother). But I was born in Singapore and have studied its education from kindergarten all the way to a local university. There are many things that I do not agree with its system - the way that the school systems are taught to indirectly support PAP's works, the way that research/views that are political-sensitive will never get a chance to be published openly etc. I do not like that Singaporeans are not 'protected' in schools, universities, workplace - foreigners seem to be accepted before us.

My view is that if you truly dislike living here, then leave this place for a few years. Go out there and experience for yourselves. Retain your Singaporean citizenship so that you can also return whenever. That is what I will be doing - moving to South Korea for good but retaining my citizenship.

Good luck to you.

Your choice lo

SG is more fast-pased while Taiwan life is much more slow and relaxing. And indeed the income will be lower, but living cost lower too.

In Taiwan work is harder AFAIK.

SJS6638 SG

In Taiwan work is harder AFAIK.

In sg not only work is hardest finding job is super hardest with pappies keep bringing foreigners to work here. Costs of living also going up and up. Our suffering and oppression under lau qua loong also the hardest compare to its predecessors.

At least in Taiwan, their press will try to make effort for their local talent to stay : http://vision.udn.com/sub_index.jsp?f_MAIN_ID=9

I know very little about Taiwan suffice to say their youth dare to voice their opinions be it good or bad and ideas are exchanged and debated on.

That to me can only result in improvement.

SJS6638 SG

Black gold, diamond gold or whatever gold, taiwan govt listens to the voice of their people.

In sg, voice of the people are noise to PAP.

glad you have the courage to venture outside Singapore. pleased to know you have found a place of comfort for your life. good to know there are places where you can put your talents to fruitful use.

But if you are keeping your citizenship, so you can call Singapore your country, then it would benefit all Singaporean if you can and come back, like Mr Chen Show Mao, with all your experience, to make changes to the systems and policies for a better Singapore. Otherwise, keeping Singapore citizenship would be just a fall back, in case you don't make it overseas.

Deborahcheok SG

Thanks :)

I'm actually not technically "venturing" overseas. Just likely to be marrying there. So maybe I'll keep my citizenship just incase I get a divorce? haha just kidding. I'm keeping my citizenship because I want to be able to visit my family easily, visa-free etc.
