Yesterday's Straits Times (6 Oct 2005) is a classic. Starting from the fantastic headlines, "Great Singapore Sale rings up record $5Billion in Takings".....wow $5B - Singaporeans and the tourists really can shop 'til drop- the good news in S'pore goes on non stop until the back page.

On the right side of the front page tenor Jose Carreras is in Singapore and all those Singapore women in expensive beautiful dresses surrounding him - life is good. Just below that report - COE has fallen to $11K and Singaporeans are all rushing to buy cars.

I found that awful stuff is happening everywhere else in the world except singapore - of course there is the Bali Bombing that covered several pages, one article "What if hurricane hits New York", "New Orleans to lay off half its workers", "British Minorities isolated"..etc...

I feel so fortunate to be in Singapore after reading all these articles. The news on dengue is shrinking that I could hardly find it. Structural unemployment? Disappeared. Poor homeless Singaporeans? Don't exist. Yes. we are so lucky to be Singaporeans..

Mr Fugue SG

pun intended, as usual. Laughing

That is what our newspapers want us to believe,"it is very fortunate to live in singapore",CRAPPPPPPP!!!!!Dont u know our newspaper works like a communist propaganda tools?They only report the positive side of our country n negative side of other countries,so as to make u feel singapore is a really good place to live in.But if u go to other countries before,u will know what is called "Heaven n Hell".And of coz,singapore(sorry,i dont even bother to type capital letter "s" as i dont like this place anymore) is hell.

I now act like foreign workers,once i earn enough money,i will leave this Fucking place for good.

sgFish SG

mistyblue SG

remove taxes... ??? That's never going to be possible. Once govt collect more and more $ from us through GST, ERP, COE and etc ... somehow... it all become twisted... more and more is taken from us through different means ...

I like Singapore, good place.

stellazio SG

i like the food..but not the standard of living.. Laughing

JJxJJ SG

i 2nd to that Laughing

MetalGear SG

i like the food,my frens n my family here. But yes, not the standard of living is exp n will only go up.

Singapore will be a place in the future for the rich only. The poor can stay to serve the rich. n the rich will grow richer as they can stay mobile n move betw countries. The poor can only take what the government throws at them.

In conclusion: Better be rich... I mean rich, not educated! hehe...

digicharat SG

oh no. stop spoiling us singapore.
give us some hardship. we are going too soft with all the good stuff happening in singapore.

Mr Fugue SG

dun wish for what you dun want..........

.............you never know when wishes come true~!

vindicated SG

Oh yeah, I like this.

vindicated SG

This is called propaganda, dude.

I hope Hong Kong raked in the biggest taking in tourism next year, hence beating spore.

skyfoo SG

u forgotten our communist status

ndmmxiaomayi SG

As again, sacarstic. To say frankly, when the news report that PM Lee expects a strong support, I feel like vomitting. Everything that should not be increasing increased - GST, hospital bills and all. Everything that should not be decreasing decreased - jobs, CPF and all. He is doing a lot of things completely opposite. Can't stand that.

lost.sheep SG

got read bout the article on singapore will adopt its own style of governance?
