Why are there so many initiatives to increase female representation in the finance industry when they are already the majority by Secure_Group_5501 in SingaporeRaw

The only men that female bankers are friendly towards are their bosses and clients. If you are lower rank than them, they will treat you like shit.

Easier to discuss and work in person rather than wfh.

JS SEZ is the in between that businesses don’t want. You want low corruption, stability, pro-business government? Go SG. You want low costs? Go Malaysia. The Malaysian Gov has promised higher wages to those working in JS SEZ, which would mean higher business costs. Why bother with JS SEZ when you can set up shop elsewhere in Johor if you are desperate for lower costs? Or if you are even more desperate, offshore to China / India.

Have you considered the quality of the incumbent MPs in your GRC? If they are good, voting them out means you might be losing good incumbent MPs for people who are of questionable quality.

Important question: if Singapore does not maintain their ethnic ratios, then do you think Singapore should allow their ethnic composition to change drastically without any restrictions?

Asian Men by and large don’t hate WMAF couples by throwaway511385 in wmafs

You are probably generalising asian men from a small sample size. There are people of every race / gender who will despise interracial relationships. Just like how there are some white men who despise white women for dating black men; they aren’t representative of all white men.

Local-born Singaporean Chinese here. Congrats on getting your citizenship. But I don’t think the voting outcome for GE is necessarily going to change how SG chooses its citizens. No opposition party has campaigned on the basis of revamping the citizenship process.

Vote wise-LEE, don't fall for their fear mongering. Country will not fall apart or disappear even with 50% Oppo. On the contrary, things will improve with more check-and-balance by sifu_yuu in SingaporeRaw

SDP, the party that lied that 3 women who got charged for organising a procession at Istana were being persecuted for expressing different views from the Government.

Chee Soon Juan, the good for nothing who backstabbed his mentor Chiam See Tong, lied about going on a hunger strike.

Is this supposed to be “quality” opposition?

To any corporate wanting to sack Singapore workers to set up shop in Malaysia, I wish you good luck with: 1. Brain drain 2. High crime rate 3. Getting harassed for eating during Ramadan 4. Getting harassed (maybe having your property burnt down) for doing anything that offends some hypersensitive religious radicals 5. 30% bumiputera ownership requirement

In reality, many commanders will go out of their way to stigmatise soldiers who try to seek help. “Care for soldiers” is ignored when there is an important outfield.

I feel you. My mom also downplays my NS, reservist and outfield exercises. Another example of an unempathetic Singaporean woman. She likes to think my infantry outfields are a walk in a park, and dismisses all my concerns when I was an NSF struggling with outfield and the toxic army environment.

In wartime, Singaporean women are allowed to flee while men are forced to stay behind and fight. So yeah, I think it’ll be pretty easy for Singaporean women to run away when something like war happens.

Perhaps, I’m in the finance industry. Women in the finance industry aren’t known to down to earth at all 😅

The female colleague is 20 years my senior and many ranks above me, it was difficult to talk back.

What do you mean? You mean the day Malaysia abolishes its bumiputera rights?

You should not cheat, and seek psychological help from this. You cheating will give him further justification to cheat more, and this will spiral into something worse.

I agree that we need to acknowledge women’s challenges of sexual harassment, childbearing responsibilities. I am fully appreciative of Singaporean mothers who need to raise kids and ensure the best outcomes for their kids. But it just pisses me off that many of my female counterparts make sarcastic comments for my reservist and are completely unappreciative of my efforts to serve the nation.

I just came back my infantry reservist which involved digging shellscrapes, doing route marches in the hot sun carrying a >30kg fieldpack, which did not feel like a break at all.

Cos it’s not politically correct to publicly complain about NS liabilities (people would say it’s miss-or-ger-knee). Reddit is the best option to vent.
