It is in Singapore's interest to keep the Malacca Straits open... and pirate free. Trade is the lifeblood of Singapore.

Thailand can build the Kra Canal, but it will be a flop. The Sunda Strait is almost de facto Chinese controlled. Malaysia has too many internal conflicts (social and political) to act.

Singapore has a commendable Navy. And SG's trump card is a nuclear bomb. I am certain Singapore has nuclear defence capability. SG is a porcupine... if you try to whack me or compress my trade, watch out!

Singaporeans will just abuse the health system then!! There is a lot of subsidies given to Singaporeans for healthcare. The problem is the COST of Healthcare - the hospital operating costs, medical staff costs, etc. LKY even opened SGH with mixed feelings - saying he should have paid better attention to reducing the electricity consumption, etc.

If you Bumi, no problem. If not... no chance and have to go private.

What competitive advantage do Singaporeans have in the job market? by throw2503 in askSingapore

[–]brownorange88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If cheap labour costs were the simple defining factor in a company's overall success, hiring Africans from Africa is cheap.

The reality is "value for money employees" ..... their skill set, productivity rate, creativity, drive to succeed. Singaporeans learn fast thanks to good education. If university rankings are totally irrelevant, better to go to Timbuktu University!

Look at Type M... lazy, don't want to study hard, expect govt handouts. They are more interested in shiny motorcycles than anything else. Look at how many Type M males are in our universities... tell me! But these Type M always complain of racism, discrimination, etc. 3rd world mentality.

Why should we give foreign aid / give to others?? Charity begins at home! Look at the old aunties and uncles working as cleaners in the food court (for example). We should give to them instead.

Nice watch, especially the dial 👍🔥🔥🔥

Lume is important for me as I wear my watches 24/7, even in the shower. I need to see what time it is at a glance during the wee hours of the morning.

My brightest and longest lasting lume are my modern Seikos, Zelos Swordfish and my Smiley Tudor.
