I recently severed friendship with 1 malaysian middle-aged FT becos I buay tahan her constant mocking of spore in front of me.
She & her 3 sons are ALL PRs, none of her sons serve NS btw. ALL her 3 sons are nurtured by our spore's education system since very young. During our meet to gether sessions last time, she always like to say eh, u all sporeans very foolish, stupid why u all do this or that & she'll compare to say back in malaysia, malaysians are much smarter, more kind-hearted etc(BTW, I do not agree malaysians are more kind-hearted than sporeans, i think ban jin ba liang).
She's also keep saying next time her sons will sell their flats/condo here & all move back m'sia . She & her sons doesn't sound grateful at all towards spore's education system for nurturing her 3 sons.
At 1st I put up with her mocking but eventually i can't take it anymore & I stopped contact with her for some time oredi.
At least there's a greater percentage of PRCs willing to serve NS in comparison

professor say emphatically NS IS KILLING SG
The other thing is, of course, productivity. Again, the general strategy is a good one. I think there is a little bit of tension between the orderly, well-organised tradition of how things are done in Singapore... and the kind of chaos that you need to raise productivity. You need non-conformists. You need renegades. And that's not the 'Singapore Way'. I wait to see how that plays out.
games for New Citizens , NS for Singaporeans
It’s all about “new citizens” and “integration” nowadays which have been making the headlines in the Singapore press.
Coming after the footsteps of Bukit Batok grassroots organizations which will be organizing a “Water Festival” for foreigners, another pseudo-PAP organization Southwest CDC has launched a game show aimed at helping “new and local citizens learn more about Singapore.”
According to Channel News Asia, the “Integrate Singapore Quiz” was developed by the Southwest Community Development Council to “integrate” new and local citizens.
It was not revealed where and how the game show will be conducted.
Though it was not mentioned explicitly, it is likely that the funds for developing and hosting the game show will come from the mega $10 million Community Integration Fund unveiled last year by the Minister of Community, Youth and and Sports Dr Vivian Balakrishnan.
The fund will be disbursed to various community and grassroots organizations to organize events such as seminars, game shows and language classes to promote “integration” between the new and old citizens.
Due to the PAP’s liberal immigration and pro-foreigner policies, foreigners now make up 36 percent of Singapore’s population, up from 14 percent in 1990. Of the remaining 64 percent who are citizens, an increasing number are born overseas.
The Home Affairs Ministry revealed that there were nearly 60,000 PRs and 20,000 new citizens last year.
Two out of every three Singapore PR applicants are successful, an astonishingly high success rate for a developed nation. Some of the PRs are granted within a few months. There is no minimal period of residency to qualify for PR unlike in other countries.
As too many foreigners, many of whom are unable to speak English are allowed into Singapore within too short a period of time, it is a near impossible task to integrate all of them now.
Confronted with an intractable problem, the PAP chose to throw money at it in the hope that it will somehow be resolved.
The onus is on the immigrants to learn how to adapt and integrate into Singapore society instead of the other way round.
Taxpayers’ monies should never be used to cover up for the PAP’s disastrous mistakes or to fund such useless social events to make the new citizens feel at home.
They have few incentives to reach out to other Singaporeans as there are simply too many of their compatriots here that they tend to congregate within their own communities.
The freebies and goodies given out by these grassroots organizations will only attract those seeking free food or perks who lack the interest or committment to “integrate” themselves, thereby defeating their original purposes.
The most crucial step in the integration process begin right at the very first step in the selection of prospective migrants and not now when they are already allowed to settle in Singapore.
The PAP has screwed up Singapore’s immigration policies badly and as usual, it will get away again with impunity thanks to the state-controlled media which has been busy of late trying to “showcase” its efforts in “integrating” the new citizens.

fucked ! con into doing NS for nothing !
Foreigners are given preference over locals. I do not know of any country that practises this. To compound to this, when the foreigners are in, they bring in more foreigners at the expense of the locals. Don’t believe me? Go to the Dept of Statistic website now to check:
Singapore total employment : 2.99 million
Foreigners and PRs employed : 1.78 million
Singapore citizens employed : 1.21 million.
If you minus Singaporeans employed by the govt i.e. all the ministries, armed forces, NS men, police, statutory boards like HDB etc I guess in the private sector Singaporeans comprised only 30% of the work force. Which country has such statistics? We are totally overwhelmed!
I urge Singaporeans to go to Raffles Place MRT to see the pathetic ads placed to plead to employers to hire on merit and be fair (to locals). Again another UNIQUELY SINGAPORE campaign.

Mr Lim Chin Choon, 35
http://www.straitstimes.com/STI/STIMEDIA/image/20090927/a24-1.jpg
Mr Lim worked as a security officer for a while but had to quit due to the long hours, as he has to take care of his grandma. -- ST PHOTO: ALPHONSUS CHERN
Secondary 2 qualifications
He has sent out about 100 resumes to companies but has remained unemployed for four years. He had previously done data entry in a firm which folded.'I've sent out many resumes but the companies don't even reply. I even went for a course to be a security officer and passed it,' he said.
He did work as a security officer for a while, but quit because of the long hours.
'I live with my grandmother who is in her 90s, and I have to look after her, so I cannot be working too late at night,' said Mr Lim, who is single. His tight financial situation is cause for worry. His parents give him $10 at a time for necessities. 'I think the main things that employers look at when you go for interviews are your age and education level,' he said.
'I am willing to learn and work hard, but employers tell me they are looking for someone younger and with better qualifications.' He said he has gone to the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports as well as the Employment and Employability Institute for help.
