I am sure we do have our fair share of Singaporeans CEOs but maybe not in the banking industry? Besides, I didn't say our education system is world class or great though we have to concede it is not shabby either. But do we really want to leave everything to the education system? To count on them on a 'complete' product? I think no matter how, we still play a part in how the kid eventually turn out. In fact not only us, many other factors count too.

No... we should not count on them for a complete product. But increasingly, they're counting on us (our time and our money) for the portion of the product that they should ensure.[/quote]Tend to agree but I have to bite the bullet for kido's sake. But I wouldnt count on the system totally too if they ask me to wash my hands off. Not saying you wash your hands off hor, I know how much you have done for your boy.

It's the same low living standards of some countries in the region that we can afford our maids, cleaners and construction workers.

Fact: (1) Not everbody can afford a maid.
(2) Old folks work as cleaner are being exploited due to low wages.
(3) Due to the supply of cheap construction workers, companies are not willing to invest in technology to improve productivity. For example, it is well known that for the same construction job, you need ten people to do it in Singapore but you only need one Australian to do it in Australia. So, what does that tell you?

It's ok. Just trying to illustrate a point. I agree with you on point 3. Always see one worker working and 5 to 6 watching.

For committing theft and vandalism in singapore you get caning. for cursing singaporean you got money.

more will drop by to curse singaporean, mp will support them and ask us to reflect, implying that we are dogs.

True true other countries also got their issues. I have lived in UK. If I were British I would talk about UK. But I am Singaporean and am responding to the topic without wanting to make comparisons with other countries.

I believe in keeping options open. Well, if better opportunity arises either here or elsewhere, just GO
