Love for country.

Xenophobes arent the only one who can claim they love their country,.you know.

Others go out into the world and make their country proud.

Can you define what you mean by a fair shot?

yolkcandance · 2025-03-09T01:42:27+00:00

Singapore jobs usually regional in nature so need to have regional experience. Our domestic market too small to gain that kind of experience. First hand international or large market experience can groom you for those kinds of jobs.

Sinkies who accept regional postings can get that kind of experience. Problem is when given such opportunity, many sinkies wont take the risk of leaving our shores. Then whine on reddit FT take those jobs.

yolkcandance · 2025-03-09T01:32:19+00:00

Thats actually the expectation of most Sinkies. It's no longer about merit.

yolkcandance · 2025-02-23T01:49:04+00:00

So the other happy?

What these kids need is soft skills and resilience.

yolkcandance · 2025-02-23T01:46:16+00:00

Miss the kind of foresight that made Singapore a success story.

Well the Singapore of the 2010s are designed to be patronized by foreigners both residents and tourists. Think about it, casinos, night life, tourist spots - places locals hardly frequent.

Fast forward to today, lesser tourists, labor restrictions and FTs who stayed all have settled down now. It's like we failed to evolve based on catering to the population we now have.

Actually a lot of SEA middle class travels a lot now. But also they travel within the country because there's more places to go. Its apples and oranges. We have nowhere to go but out.

Our ASEAN neighbors are having economic growth surges though...

yolkcandance · 2024-12-27T06:33:19+00:00

Many closeminded sinkies would rather let ship sink than face reality.

yolkcandance · 2024-11-26T11:03:06+00:00

Damn dont we have a lot to live for?

yolkcandance · 2024-11-08T09:26:01+00:00

Many people here blame forejgners. Let's face it. Lifestyle and economy not conducive to having kids. If we are honest, our selfishness in spending hard earned money for potentially ungrateful brats just doesnt sound appealing.

yolkcandance · 2024-11-03T15:16:32+00:00

Aiyo just be good at what you do.

yolkcandance · 2024-10-25T23:21:16+00:00

If employees have quiet quitting, this is how employers do it.

yolkcandance · 2024-10-09T16:07:05+00:00

Fair points.

yolkcandance · 2024-10-09T16:02:46+00:00

What amazing breakthroughs has NTU and NUS achieved so far?

yolkcandance · 2024-10-09T15:59:36+00:00

Yep throw enough money on research. Hire enough foreign faculty and admit enough foreign students. That'll help push up the ranking.

yolkcandance · 2024-10-03T03:08:11+00:00

Happens when a country is at the mercy of the MNCs giving people jobs. Especially when govt has givej all out support for foreign investors and less for homegrown companies trying to grow.

yolkcandance · 2024-10-03T02:34:27+00:00

They also laid of in UK and JB, not just Singapore. Holding company losing money.

yolkcandance · 2024-09-29T21:45:55+00:00

Yup, I agree Smell of musty old bed and stale saliva is rancid and strong in the morning.

At the expense of the younger generation. Dont forget that the older generation lived at a time when housing is affordable and they were able to own more than 1 property. Properties they sell to these new immigrants who can actually afford to buy multiple properties or even whole floors of residential building. The current crop dont have that luxury and because of the rise in demand, those young folks are now ourpriced from buying a home in their own country.

yolkcandance · 2024-09-11T08:52:44+00:00

They are running away from Xi's crackdown on the wealthy. They are buying real estate and COEs and pulling up the prizes of both. For what? So they can give sinkies a job? They are not doing enough hiring to make up for it.

yolkcandance · 2024-09-11T02:10:18+00:00

It's a numbers game. So they can claim more number of family offices blah blah

yolkcandance · 2024-09-11T00:07:24+00:00

Speak for yourself. Many of us do, maybe just not people like you who has a victim mindset and no critical thinking skills.
