My challenge is can anyone here tell me if a foreign talent replaces the job of a sporean, with equal duties, qualifications, how does the foreign policy benefits him/Spore?? Foreign tourists or with student pass allow to work in Spore in all sectors. In what way does the foreign policy benefits jobless man in the streets? Putting aside stereotype answers like sporean fussy about pay cos those middle/senior managerial post pays well. Any abnormal sporean under such an environment would not whin. Would you Msian bros not whinn under such circumstances???

Re: Please be careful - Daylight Robbery
That's pretty funny, obviously u know nuts about Malaysia, u r a classical example of "Frog living under the coconut shell", I'm glad u finally bring to light the meaning of our "peribahasa",thanks mate.
Let me prove to u our famous "peribahasa" Not everything is transparent in sg.....it only seems so. How much is sg PM's asset? GOD onli knows.....does the malaysian's PM wife holds the purse strings to the malaysian govt investment company? Badawi''s brother if any is he CEO of ex stat board? Badawi's father if still alive is also a senior minster bo? Sg govt is familee business. Not PM's wife but his sister, please read the scandal Malaysia Today: MT-Special Reports: How to make more than RM11 billion with just one letter the fact that there is a scandal & this came to light says it all.....at least the judges in malaysia are more vocal......onli in sg the ex AG can become CJ.....no conflict of interests? Of course not! Our govt censor themselves.  U can't miss this news, it's a blockbuster, it's Lingam tape, our judge can be brokered, eat ur heart out Singapore you heard of Tay Cheang Wan? Surely u can do better than this, just one name, we can easily produce a list You are right.....take note western govt paid much lesser than sg govt. they can do a better job with lesser pay I thought the discussion was about Malaysia and Singapore? Please stick to the topic better govern? you want t police state? army camp also very well govern you go move in lor......better govern not = to better place to live in...... Now u r talking cock

Re: Please be careful - Daylight Robbery
I think this thread should be moved to coffeeshop la.....
Malaysia's corruption however bad some still come to light......that's why so many scandals......not all can get away with it.....Sinkee's ones are legitimate liao or all coverup.......malaysia's case maybe akin to stealing must do stealthly if not kena caught.....but sinkapoor is like daylight robbery.......you blantantly kena rob still must say thank you to them & ask them to come back again.

Food staples: No more take-aways for foreigners
Report from Malaysiakini dated Wednesday 16 January 2008 :-
Food staples: No more take-aways for foreigners Malaysia is planning to bar Singaporeans and Thais from taking home staple foods like flour and sugar to avert shortages of the subsidised goods, reports said today. The move comes after the government was last week forced to flood the market with thousands of tonnes of cooking oil and flour as shortages left supermarket shelves stripped bare and restaurant owners warning they faced disruption. "So far, we have enforced prohibition to bring cooking oil out of the country but I will suggest (to the cabinet) that other food items be included in the list," Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Shafie Apdal said. Shafie told the state Bernama news agency that the proposal would be submitted at Wednesday's cabinet meeting. Singaporeans often make day trips across the causeway linking the island state to Malaysia to fill their petrol tanks and buy groceries which are cheaper here. Smuggling of supplies of cooking oil, petrol and flour is also rife across Malaysia's porous northern border with Thailand. Malaysia heavily subsidises 21 food items including sugar, milk, salt, wheat flour and rice. Shafie said his ministry has checked close to 9,000 businesses nationwide to deter hoarding and smuggling of cooking oil. He told Bernama the ministry had so far seized nearly 22,400 kilos of cooking oil worth RM58,000 during the operation. Rising prices are a sensitive issue in Malaysia and the government has taken prompt action over the shortages ahead of general elections expected to be held this year. --- KatoeyNewsNetwork

again, again, xdecep, you never fail to impress us with your choice of selective reading. its no wonder u can continue your racous bleating here and none of ur fellow citizens want to take the bait to add in the conversation. ok, maybe only suchinda. but at least suchinda puts in slightly more effort. i've said time and time again, just to refresh your failing memory and short-sightedness, then i'm neither Pro singapore or anti malaysia. at least suchinda gets that right from day 1. again, i have to remind you not to label me in any way you deem fit. just as you deem it not courteous for me to throw profanities at your weak arguements. since you can't find anything to argue, you use your superb imagination and give me titles and families which i don't seem to recall having. although, i won't mind being a "White Horse" in the NS if i ever had the chance. i don't know how less a hypocrite i am compared to you when i've already stated i'm saving $$ to migrate but u seem hell bent to preserve the ricebowls of ur diploma frens. n now u say u want to migrate too? as i said, u shud join WP or SDP or whatever tickles ur fancy. as i already said, and u seem not to read properly, there's plenty of jobs in sg. unemployment rate is at an all time low! JOBSDB is coming this Fri 18th Jan. i checked the net recently to look for a job for my fren in KL and there are plenty of jobs whereby diploma holders are eligible to enlist. so what's ur problem xdecep? just becos ur fren lost a job to someone else, it's the end of the world? u want to blame the govt for that? man! you are one guy with little ambitions! do you know something called "look for another job?" who cares about ur frens with diplomas? probably only u! so why don't u do yourself and everyone here a favour, quit ur job, and give ur job to your fren! be a hero! save the day! while you're at it, wear ur red underwear outside too to sure ur sincerity! as far as ur weak arguements show, you've been the one giving all the stereotype answers and weak rebuttals. i've given you nothing less than a stellar economic report of 2 countries and qualified challenges to any singaporean who can prove me wrong. but sadly, no one did cos the truth hurts, doesn't it? hello brother, wake up ur idea man!

answer: they love to pay higher gst and they don't mind foreign talent taking away their jobs? fact is, we're all in the same quandary. as i mentioned earlier, migrating is not as simple as pack ur biggest bag and take the next plane ticket. u have to consider ur family, ur frens, the familiarity of ur surroudings. then again, when u want to move, u have to consider whether u have the $$ to sustain first 6 months to a year in the event u can't get a job overseas, or u might get retrenched, or higher living costs due to exchange rate between ur home country and place of living. comes back to the same starting point, 3 things any migrant has to have before taking off 1) guts 2) $$ 3) will to survive pls dun muddle up the difference between "want to migrate" and "ability to migrate" you may want to buy a benz, but the fact is do u have the ability to do so?  your above points about loving to be discriminated and etc is somewhat rhetorical when u start asking the same questions to ur fellow singaporeans.

Re: Please be careful - Daylight Robbery
bro JeffKL....you made your point......we can argue until cows come home & maybe i dun know the situation well in malaysia but let me just say i know the situation in singapore well & my point is that the singapore govt is as bad as malaysian govt if not worse. Maybe sinkees are more stupid them pappies can continue to hookwink us every single elections. For the record i am not the 66.6% who voted for them....i din get a chance to vote due to walkover (common occurrance here due to unfair electoral practice).
Maybe it is a case of the grass is greener on the other side but i have lived & worked in malaysia b4 for 2 years previously & another 3 years before that was travelling up often. I always have a more positive impression of malaysia & till now still feel that malaysia is a better place than singapore.

is it just me or you're telling everyone how ignorant u are? u think u became a PM to better the living standards of the country and NOT think about enriching ur own pockets? u think u are a Miss Universe contestant? "World Peace?" sheesh, wake up and smell the coffee. the matter of the fact is, and i've already stated earlier, every govt in this world is corrupt! fullstop! do u not understand the above sentence? just the diff of how much or how less. and i strongly believe that if the govt is somewhat corrupt but STILL lets the citizens have high economic growth, low crime and first class facilities like SG, i seriously doubt there's much complaints there. didn't we already agree there is no perfect govt? sheesh. the only problem in msia here is the other way round. corruption at its highest, but the economy and standard of living have dropped drastically. can u even fathom the difference? remove that prejudiced stance of urs and read the above post objectively. the same goes for ur new "partner in crime". and i'm being labelled a Pro singaporean by stating facts. oh yes, i'm looking forward to more retarded posts about the same merry go round "foregn talent" question..

Lol, man, RESPECT! I'll buy u a cold beer if u drop by JB anytime. Unfortunately, i can understand sg govt plays alot of "dirty" tactics when it comes to voting cos most of my frens are in ur situation, never get the chance to vote even though they are 40 years old! but then again, u can hardly blame the rest of 66.6% becos as they say, "if the ride is smooth sailing, no need to rock the boat". fortunately, sg economy is doing well and majority of the citizens are somewhat living an above average standard of living. want to know how i came to that assumption, look at the crowd during ur sales. i was at sg robinsons last month, only 20% discount storewide?! wtf? and the crowd was like seas of shoppers. come to kl during the chirstmas, we have sales up to 70% but hey, no one's buying anything. the economy in msia is getting so bad, we're getting more sales periods than non-sales periods.. want a sale? wait no longer, there's one every other month. and people are still not buying.its the same wif all govt in the world trying to establish a lasting legacy for themselves while they make hay while the sun is out, or rather when they are in power. but don't be disappointed. sg like u n msian like me are entering the internet age and we can start to think for ourselves and demonstrate our right for democracy. already there are so many internet blogging sites slagging off the sg govt. same goes here in msia. on a side note, it will be interesting to see who will succeed hsien long. the general sentiment here is that we're all bracing for more price hikes which is a reality as oil has shot to more than USD100/barrel. it is an open secret that the govt is suppressing all price hikes till after the elections which is due this yr. perhaps we shall compare our costs of living and standards of living again once the elections are over. pls pray that my salary will increase in tandem with the price hikes, or i might not be able to buy u that cold beer after the elections. i hear sg F1 ticket prices are USD 200 a pop, any one wants to sponsor a poor JB guy?

Re: Please be careful - Daylight Robbery
I have asked my sg frens and they too do tend to agree that malaysia seems to be a better place to live in.
i've analysed their spending habits and found the following: 1) they sub-consiously convert their spending in msia and magically! everything is cheaper by half than back home. woo hoo! i'm a king in malaysia!by the same arguement, my msia frens would agree with me that we find thailand a better place to live in than msia. 2) they get to rev their powerful 2 litre cars and be speed demons on our highways. no way hosea u can do that in sg and get away with a "encik, macam mana u nak settle?" 3) they get to litter and eat chewing gum and dun have to look behind their backs in case kenna CWO. 4) everything in msia seems to have a price. everything can be done with a price. from drugs to guns to girls to porn dvds. u name it, we got it. and the plus side is, singaporeans still find it affordable cos all "prices" are half compared to back home. back in the old days when LSB in jb was happening, my sg frens used to come in weekly. 5) more spending power, as prof says, of course means u can swagger around more lah. go to the nightclub also can talk much louder than the other table cos table got 1 bottle magnum mah. and snigger at the low living standards of malaysians (drive heavily mod crap local made cars). seriously, although i have sg frens, i have met alot of sg tourists who seem to like to show off their money. want to see show off singaporeans in jb? look no further, just hang out at Plaza DNP and see all the young chicks flock to their honey pot. but yet, that does not make me generalise that all sg are like these cos i've got really cool sg frens. i think we're all guilty of the above one way or the other when we go to a country with lower living standard or lower exchange rate. me included. i guess it's human nature.
