Chenonceau:

My neighbour downstairs cooks curry very often. The divine smell wafts upwards into my study room and sends me running out to tapau North Indian naans and curries and tandooris. I rather think that the curries you get outside are nothing like those that Indians really cook at home. A pity.

Chenonceau, you should troop on over to your neighbour's, offer her some naan and hope she'll give you some of her homemade curry in return.

many parents just send a child there first, graduate and get PR, then apply whole family to become PR and move over, and other family members enjoy education at local rates liao

This is the reason the FT is in SG :lightrod:

In a way it's true, but it is true everywhere else too

can move up and with the opening of land parcels in the Marina financial area , the population will have to shoot up to cater for the many more
people needed to prop and support the economy.
SGians not having more babies where else you create the population
boom. With influx of FT you inadvertently create another strata of social

Couple with armchair minister, you see the crack forming..........

May I suggest that all foreigners who want to apply for PR/invited to apply for PR must go through this orientation program:

1. visit Little India-to soak in the smell of different spices and have curry for lunch & dinner for 7 days continously (apply to all PRC applicants)

2. smell and actually taste durians for 7 days continously. Each applicant must finish at least a durian (1 kg) ( apply to all nationalities)

-those who cannot complete the tests will not qualify for PR application
-those who past the test must sign an agreement and sunpa that they will not complain about their neighbours of the smell of curry and durians forever
:evil: :evil: :evil: :imcool:

Pple are criticizing the PRC family for unable to accommodate the curry smell that was forced onto them very "often"…


but no one talk about the Indian family who forced the curry smell on others so "often"?

Why so biased?

If the indian family cook once a while, I feel it is okay and the PRC family should try to "tahan". But if it is very often, then, I feel the CMC judgement is fair… As it stands now, the article never really state how often is "often".

View it from the pt of Staying in HDB in a neighbor within a community…


Whether the family complaining is PRC or Citizen shouldn’t make a difference…

Althou I’m okay with curry smell (smells good), I wouldn’t want the cloths hanging outside to have curry smell…

Personally, I would expect the family to call or inform that they’re going to cook, so that I can keep the cloths or bring indoors… then, they can cook all they want.

As for the CMC judgement, what I feel is, perhaps the indian family can plan in advance and provide a schedule or something, so that those who cannot tahan the smell, can plan to go outing or outdoors. Maybe this is more fair and both sides do a bit of accommodating…

I thought of it. Seriously, I did but I was shy. I wanted to offer my spaghetti bolognaise (made from thyme and rosemary from my garden) but I felt that it would be an unfair trade 'cos her dish smells so much better than mine.

I even had visions of me climbing from my kitchen (à la Spiderman) into hers to pilfer some. Now that would make me a very bad neighbour hor...
