Basically, if Singaporeans knows how live within their mean,
they should be able to live in singapore happily, but sadly, most
dun, can be due to peers pressure or advertisment effect, most
peoples are spending tomorrow money, which is an accrued
liabililties with interest and inflation rates compounding over
it.
Why you need a car in singapore? Do you know that many rich in
my place here, dun even own a car, cos car to them is an expense,
not worthy of investing in it. The most they got is a car provided
by their companies. It is the middle and the lower middle income
singaporeans that are spending lavishly on luxury goods which put
pressure and stress on them to keep up with their stupid spending
and buying lifestyle, no wonder shopping malls are building and
growing same like BTO flats.
As for jobs that singaporeans do not want, jobs that got the 3Ds
in it, dirty, demanding and dangerous do not attract singaporeans,
the situation should not blame entirely on singaporeans for not
taking up jobs, 3 issues that work development council or whatever
in the govt should consider to get singaporeans back to work.
1. Increase pay that can match with the minimum cost of
living
2. With an aging population and an affluent youngs, govt should
look forward to create jobs base on the aspect of singapore
demographic and changing enviroment of our youngs like me. They
need to design jobs for the aging and also needs to provide
conducive and good paid jobs for the youngs, but instead, the olds
are neglected, the youngs face a competitive salary range and
jobs with FTs.
3. Create certain employment policies that require firm to
employ singaporeans first, and reduce the ratio of FT vs
Singaporeans. Formerly, govt said FT helps singaporeans to get
jobs, but today, it seems like FT is helping Singaporeans to lose
job or get lower paid. That is overboard in a way when you
consider you are a singaporeans and why you cannot get a good pay
job that match your qualification and experiences.
FT or FW not only takes your job, they also create social
problem, like making your drinking water contaminated.
