Silverkris 5th Gear September 4, 2009 Share September 4, 2009 Just had a fun talk with one of my chinese turned singapore citizen colleague, this is his story, a bit long but worth a see: He come from Shanghai to Singapore to study at age of 18. Turned PR after finished his studies and working in Singapore, go back to Shanghai, get married as per his parents requirements and later his wife become PR too. They become Singapore Citizens (pink IC) 5 years ago and bore 2 childs, both Singapore Citizens. Nothing fanciful about his life and according to him, a lot of Chinese has turned Citizens in this way every year. What is different is that these new citizens has a whole lot of cash that can be spent in Singapore. As he said, his grand parents was already affected by the one child policy in China, and gave birth to his father, and again, his father and mother, both single childs, left their fortune to him alone. When he migrate to Singapore, he of course bring his bank account with him. He has bought a private apartment here, but he can proudly say that his children will have no problem in applying for HDB / Condo the next time, even if the prices raise up to the million dollar level. (sure is stuck up when he says this). Made me worry for my children all the same, how do our children fight against these children of the new citizens who has already inherited so much wealth? Just a pondering thought. and like he say, there are more and more of these new citizens that comes to Singapore every year........ hmmmmmmmm. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aristotle 5th Gear September 4, 2009 Share September 4, 2009 Time to buy "cheap" HDB and condo and resell to these buyers and earn a profit! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverkris 5th Gear September 4, 2009 Author Share September 4, 2009 More likely they buy now and later sell back to us, since they have the cash now and we don't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either u r talking crap, or he's talking crap. The One-Child Policy was only enacted in 1979. His grandparents already affected? So his parents gave birth at 1 year old? What, he has 2 kids already? Still swimming in his balls that kind ah? Haben come out cannot count hor. China's One Child Policy So many millions of China's parents leave nothing for their kids except one rusty changkul to farm the rotten land, u have to choose a wealthy lineage to compare. Nothing but crap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing but crap. Yes millions of them left nothing .. and I don't think those million will get their Citizenship here or even PR. Let say only about 1% of the Chinese are along wealthy lineage. That is still 14 million. and only 1% of them are attracted to Singapore and became PR That is still 140 thousands. I personally know of a few of such similar case. New PR/Citizen at their mid-late twenties with millions dollars worth of asset who settled in Singapore and they don't find HDB expensive at all, they probably compared with those higher-end properties in China, Hong Kong, London and may be LA. My new neighbor is also recently came from China who just got his PR. He already has other properties elsewhere so he bought his HDB in our block and he find it quite affordable too (around 600K) just to rent out. I guess if you make millions of dollars a year, condo and hDB in Singapore are indeed affordable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drive_carcar Clutched September 4, 2009 Share September 4, 2009 I'm not worried about the competition. I just work on bringing up righteous, God fearing sons who are well adjusted and confident about themselves. The rest will fall into place nicely.

Even without rich FT children, there are also children of rich locals. Everyone can coexist in harmony regardless of the parent's networth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing but crap. actually, it doesn't concern us in singapore that the majority (if this is even the case) of mainland chinese are poor. but u just need a few % of the rich ones to come here and compete with us then we GG liao. of course if they come here stay private property, i dun give a damn. but pls leave the HDB for our locals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do not need to physically come here or even get close to our island to compete against us. They are already competing against us. Have we GG at all? U die already meh? begging on the streets? Why so little confidence in yourself and in SG? I welcome them to come. I've already made some money off their rich. The more they come, the more i huat :) I'm only scared of their poor ones....talk damm alot but damm lazy, ride bicycle on the road so dangerous, go everywhere in pyjamas and talk damm loud. irritating ppl should just go back to their rusty changkuls and do farming.

Jadeband Neutral Newbie September 5, 2009 Share September 5, 2009 i personally know many china chinese working here. Some run their own business rather well. I am not concern with their intrusion but rather, i feared our generation is lacking behind. They came with 1 objective, work hard, makes alot of money and have an option to return with the cash or continue to stay put or lay roots. I find many with right attitude and hard-working towards their job. Unfortunately i cannot say so to many of our younger peers here. Perhaps, we are really well blessed over these years, creating a pool of overly-contented new generation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lv3338 Clutched September 5, 2009 Share September 5, 2009 (edited) agree...the worse is their integration to our actual society is low.... i mean...during their casual time...especially sat and sun.. they only mix with their own people.... have their own activities....... they dun mix much with us... the poor would be...they own all the money.....and after china living standard get better.... they will all go back....cos utimately they feel that they are chinese... and we are left with all the s--t behind..
