QUOTE(momijigari @ Mar 20 2013, 12:57 PM) What makes me boiled is queue-cutters!!! They are everywhere, toilet, ATM, bus, MRT.. You have to let them taste their own medicine. Deliberately repeat what they have done and create a confrontation if you need to. Surprisingly msian commuters behave much more civic when it comes to the railway. In Klcc, despite the snaking queue spilling to the entrance, people are still queuing to my amazement. And that's without any gracious campaign movement required.

QUOTE(ThanatosSwiftfire @ Mar 20 2013, 05:42 PM) Hmm.. Such 30% limits hit directly at the lower levels a lot harder. People who find it hard to get by on their small 2-3k salaries are gonna be the ones most alienated by this. Foreigners admitted with low salary will find it harder to start a family in sg and especially so if their soulmates are not local.

QUOTE(jitshiong @ Apr 3 2013, 11:48 AM) Are we entitled to paid leave for election? in singapore I would have thought not necessary in the first place. Polling dates are normally held on Saturday for the sane minded ones. And practically with such masses of Msians working in Singapore, the embassy will serve as the venue for our votes. But the math doesnt sums up in this case. Msia truly Asia.

QUOTE(Dendroid_King @ Apr 9 2013, 10:10 AM) Hi, Recently I just got terminated for an employment less than 2 months in Singapore. My question is: 1) Is it advisable for me to delete that employment in my future resume? I m worried that other companies can check. 2) Will my S Pass or employment pass be greatly affected by the termination? Thanks in advance. 1) If you could play the termination reason to your strength, why not? 2) As long as your previous employer did not complain you to MOM, you will be assessed like any other individual, on merit. Recently, there are plans to retain (made easier for pass application) work permit holders who have worked for at least 4 years in SG. All in the name of productivity. This could be one of the checklist boxes.

QUOTE(ThanatosSwiftfire @ Apr 11 2013, 09:29 AM) overseas voting. Not applicable for Singapore. Lets wait for the demarcation. We may again see on one hand, 300 000 residents voting for 1 single MP and on the other, 1000 to 1. The wonders of EC magic. This post has been edited by keelim: Apr 11 2013, 04:09 PM

QUOTE(tailtwist @ Apr 18 2013, 11:03 PM) Agreed...i bought a 3 room resale at bukit batok...the monthly repayment/installment will be able to pay 100% using my and my wife's CPF Ordinary Account...versus now I'm paying SGD1000 monthly rental for a master bedroom. Further the monthly repayment amounts to around SGD900 monthly only. As long as the low interest rate environment persists and the tap on immigration is not fully shut, you will continue to enjoy paying for your own mortgage compared to renting. But the comfort of having your own place should be above monetary consideration.

QUOTE(xtylish @ Apr 26 2013, 08:49 AM) i am just writing my experience in sg. sorry, not everybody is an elite here driving cars and buying properties here. many people want to come to sg, i am just showing my part of the world. it ain't fancy like yours, but it is real. so why not let people know it ain't going to be rosy for everybody? so typical. kthxbai. I am feeling compassionate today. You need to go back to your drawing board and redraft your game plan. You feel defeated because you are trying to compare your future through the same lenses of your benchmarks. That’s wrong and obviously stressing you out. Everyone has a game plan. Fail to plan, you plan to fail. How about saving enough for you to start a petty business in Msia/Thailand? Some forumers here stay in JB and travel to Sg daily to double up their savings. That sounds like a simple game plan to expedite their passions. Remove your mental block and re-strategize yourself. If all the dots are directing you back to Msia now, by all means do it. You don’t need a complicated game plan; just a rationale one will do. Your ability to stay disciplined counts more. Your part of the world right sure sucks now until a white knight emerges. We all hope for one; but those that found it, they look for one.

QUOTE(seantang @ May 6 2013, 01:09 PM) That's the transformasi. BN will be positioned as a govt that goes against only some of the people (ie. the Chinese). Going all out against the Chinese will win them even more votes in the Malay heartlands... turn them away from PKR and PAS. For the Malays in urban areas who voted for PR (including DAP) because they are more concerned with corruption and unfairness, BN will tone down the most blatant issues and win some of them away. A lot of them are upset with the corruption of UMNO Malays, not really too upset with the racism against the non-Malays. All in all, BN will concentrate on wooing the Malays and use the Chinese as an even stronger bogeyman for race and religion. The change from the past is that they will actually tone down some of the worst corruption issues to win the urban Malays. This post has been edited by keelim: May 6 2013, 02:46 PM

On the surface, it is a very polarized result. MCA is irrelevant now with less than 5% seat in Federal (even MIC has more). CSL has openly declared that MCA is not interested in any ministerial post (I doubt Liow and Wee will agree). Given that there is no Chinese representative in BN (well there isn’t one to begin with), the most pragmatic way is to form a Malay Msian. Couldn’t see any better plans to divert the attention of corruption than using racial polarization to garner more racial votes. Now that the data seems to suggest the Chinese are congregating, its worrisome.
On Pakatan, DSAI is already 65 y.o. He is probably the only unified figure to pull the fairly fragmented coalition; together. I browsed through PKR list of potentials, and unfortunately only Izzah and Rafizi who may be too young to lead (grey hair bias). Azmin is very much disliked in PR. It will be an uphill battle for the young generation; in a game where the referee (SPR) is against you. Utterly disappointed in how constitutional rights are being manipulated to the advantage of a party through votes rigging; buying; misuse of public funds. With more states in BN’s hand, I wonder how much land will be transfer below cost to UMNO-related-Co and using insider info to make high returns.

QUOTE(fghvbn @ May 6 2013, 11:22 AM) I want to move out completely from Malaysia. Currently I'm in Malaysia working for a Singapore based company but to the the politics over here in Malaysia which is no longer favorable, I would like to migrate out from this country to either Australia or Singapore ... Hold your decision until the dust and "excitement" settled. Your decision should be made in a rationale state, and not emotional. Taking a queue from Ghani Othman who thought the voters in Johor were emotional in PRU13.
