.... quite similar to my case, no helper though. A lot of the stuff is not to Hao Lian. Not sure why u feel that way. when u work to a certain level u know there are always richer people around you. What is the point?

A better house to stay in affects your life the most actually as u spend a lot of time there.

vacations is the time the family get together for a couple of weeks together doing stuff.

investment condo... where else to put your money if u not interested in monitoring the markets?

i thought house, cars, vacation, domestic helper is pretty decent way to spend your money... Better than alcohol or women...

erm....i thought the comparison was not against alcohol  and women but spending time and bringing kids up by yourselves?

a couple of weeks a year with kids is different from the daily grind and those itty bitty stuff

😬

I am also not anti immigration, we are an immigrant society and we need to replace ourselves via calibrated imports, taking the best from Asia and rest of the world. 

And it is not just driving, high rise littering and general littering are back. Of course locals are also guilty but we kanna hammered by LKY for years, so we are more guai.  

In fact, as a submissive dominated workforce, we better be guai and understand which side the bread is butter on. Else the repeated intimidated message of company can get up and go will be used. Interesting that it was bought by Singapore Avago, yet move to US. So much for supporting SGunited.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-broadcom-domicile/broadcom-completes-move-to-u-s-from-singapore-idUSKCN1HB34G#:~:text=(Reuters) - Broadcom Inc (,to buy Qualcomm Inc (QCOM.&text=2%2C days before making its first offer for Qualcomm.

Broadcom, which was a U.S. company until it was bought in 2016 by Singapore’s Avago, had announced its plan to redomicile on Nov. 2, days before making its first offer for Qualcomm.

The company said it exchanged all shares of Broadcom Ltd to newly issued stock of Broadcom Inc on a one-for-one basis and that its stock would continue to trade under the same ticker.

Broadcom’s existing co-headquarters in San Jose, California will become its sole headquarters, the company said.

For me, there should also be a clamp down on perpetual PRs. We  are a small state and cannot afford to have PRs remaining forever PRs. To me a PR is the road to citizenship. sooner or later need to convert.
Also disagree with policy of allowing PR to buy hdb and lumping of citizen/PR together.

I have the same thoughts. It is just not sustainable and I think G is aware. The rich will get richer by passing on their wealth while the poor will increasingly live on handouts from the government, everything from housing to utility rebates. 

They seem to be hastening the process, thats what i can see.

You consider Avago a Singapore company?

Quote

What would become the company was established in 1961 as a semiconductor products division of Hewlett-Packard.[9] The division separated from Hewlett-Packard as part of Agilent Technologies in 1999.[5][7][10] KKR and Silver Lake Partners acquired the chip division of Agilent Technologies in 2005 for $2.6 billion and formed Avago Technologies.

Just because a company is registered in Singapore (for tax or whatever) doesn't mean it is a SG company.

Actually, my own theory is that Singapore may be no more in about 200yrs.  

This is due to the low birth rate and high migrant influx situation.

The New Singapore would just largely be made up of migrants who want to be here to enjoy. And the locals will be divided into two status, creditors and debtors.   Those who forever work and those who forever dont.  

Yeah kinda bleak, i know..... 

 

You very kind... gibe 200 years. In 50 years, under SEA water liao. 🤣
