I think our kids will realistically have to emigrate in order to afford housing. If now the next generation- definately the next generation (our grandkids) - 3rm HDB would probably cost $1million from HDB at "subsidised" rate!

maybe the ultimate objective is to replace the whole island with FT. :D

As per title of thread.

 

1.) YOG helps to pry a sizeable number of individuals from the politically apathetic camp. Of note is that the fact that most of such individuals happen to fall in the age category where it is regarded natural for individuals to be politically apathetic. Do i smell class consciousness?

 

2.) YOG gives all Singaporeans a first hand lesson on the 101s of a police state.

 

enough said.

I only know that after this and 2011 elections, GST will go up to 10% which is their target in the first place.

 

Must remember, GST helps the poor!

 

Must also remb GST increase but our salary never increase and somemore got FTs....worse still..

 

Looking at the performances of some of our ministers at the recent events.... are we paying world class talents?

No foreign media is even remotely interested in the YOG. No reports from 'sports crazy' countries' media. Nothing from CNN, Fox News, BBC, Sky News, Australia's Channel 7, 9, SBS, ABC. Australia's TV channels are talking about the Commonwealth Games which is 2 months away rather than YOG! This shows the amount of 'interest' in those countries!

After YOG, the jobless rate will rise.

Apart from the volunteers, there's a substantial amount of part time workers employed for this event.

 

 

i am not sure about that, some industry face labour shortage because of YOG and has to pay more to get staff.

As I mentioned before...Junior competiton normally do not get much media coverage.

 

I look at it as the positive impact of these games on the young athletes and their preparations for the coming olympics. The impact of Singapore to these youths too.

 

I for one, enjoyed the watching the games and we get to see who the future stars will be...

The people whom I'm working with will all go jobless, some waiting to go ns, others just ord or graduated. All down the line from the cleaners, food handlers, support personnels ...

 

And those hired direct by SYOGOC are paid $5 per hr for their service.

not immediate or direct benefit i think... I dun think YOG can attract many tourist like world cup or real olympic game.... the young chap is not likely spend a lot over here as well cause during this period, they will either busy training, or resting. Even when the game is over, the winner will rush back for their reward and the looser wont hv much mood to stay anything longer also...

 

its more of increasing SG status/reputation/fame internationally... This can boast the tourism industry in long run and at the same time, higher chances to attract foreign investor...

Oh, it's over? Good to know. I'm happy (and proud) to say I didn't watch a single second of the YOG. My apathy was complete and blissful. [:)]

But when the YOG vehicles see your work vehicle approaching, *they* will give way to *you*.

 

Bus drivers can be quite a pantang lot. [laugh]
