Bro...in the 80s and 90s not many singaporean migrated overseas...but the same cant be said of now. I have many friends who migrated in the past few yrs. Their reasons maybe differrent but most dont see Singapore as it was...so they pack-off their bag and hope to lead a better life! [bigcry][bigcry]

on another note. in the 80s and 90s. not many are qualify to migrate overseas too.

Rule of keeping Singapore alive and kicking...continue to import and then those move on vacancies can be filled. Isnt this what the churches are also following? Recruit new members to replace leaving members to keep it going. As long as the rate of import or new membership recruitment is greater than the departure rate, it is ok, given that more income will be generated and can continue to grow the pie and make sure more ppl are attracted to Singapore to invest.

 

maybe when the 3 mil walk out, and the rest are all foreigners, u see that this country is nothing but an empty shell...

not true lei! most of my classmates who were Malaysian have migrated to Aussieland, UK and USA. But of course they were well-off to start with and studied till Uni (overseas). Maybe Singaporeans were contented back then but now many are becoming dissillusioned with all he goalpost shifting and nonsence spouting! [shakehead][shakehead]

Not targeting at churches but jus making a comparison and this is what is happening. Yes, as more and more imports, if there is no effort to integrate, we will be back to the early days of Singapore where there is a need to manage the 4 major races carefully but in the current context, it is Foreign Chinese, Foreign Others(Indians/Indon/Filipina/Myannmar), Ang Mohs and local born Singaporeans.

Think PM mentioned that they are aware of this matter and he compare it to Singaporeans. Even if PR convert Singaporean, does it mean they wont? Also, Singaporeans are doing it themselves. So since both are doing, why bother who does it as long as I have cows to work for me?

 

 

But..what percentage of Singaporean are doing this? and what percentage of foriegners are doing this?

 

probably a couple of % vs 90+%??

 

unless majority of Singaporean are doing it, i find this arguement invalid leh. JMO.

[laugh] That was in my mind when he mentioned it...but it is more of a sweeping statement and will not be material given that both sides are doing it why penalize which group does it more or less...typical govt reply would be...as long as we continue to keep up our efforts in retaining them, this is the best we can do, ultimately, our doors are always open to anyone who wish to be part of the making of future Singapore...

During election promise you everything. After election twist their words again. Near election promise again..

The same cycle continues. PAP will never change. Im amazed at the FAITH shown by their supporters. It really takes great FAITH to do what they did every election.

 

 

More good years ahead! :o

luckily most of the foriegners do not want to become citizens..Ive asked all my foreign staffs/friends. the ones from China, India, Bangladesh and Philippines all said no to Singapore Citizenship. Only those Chinese malaysians wanted to get Singapore citizenship.

 

lucky? these are the smart ones that brings sing dollar back to their own country...

 

look at china, now their currency is stronger than hk, ever wonder y?

I am just curious what will happen in the coming future?

10years time when india and china labour become too expensive then we source from Africa, after which another 10years passed, we source from where?

Face the fact, when place infront of employers, is it the renumeration package numbers more important or with real expertise more important?

If expertise is really more important, then ask ourselves if our education or training or upgrading is useless isnt it?

Cost is the potential issue.

 

So in long run, as the salary keeps on maintaining at a sluggish pace, what will eventually happen? Inflation?

With the increasing housing prices, who is the last in line that can finally afford? Or rather who is the fool to take the last queue number and when that happens what are we expecting?

 

I am just curious at how our garment foresee the future and what kind of long term planning we have.

At the rate we are going, soon we will meet an abyss of uncertainty.

I really cannot see 30years down the road, is the garment going to send all this foreign import back?
