Who is Jim roger?

He helps singapore earned billions of dollars since 2007.
a good friend of George Soros.
he is definitely a wanted PR. if he goes, he will bring along billions with him and leave thousands jobless.

whatever policies government imposed, the RICH will never be affected while the POOR are always the one who will suffer.

this is where double standard is : we see such remarks freely floating and we demand for the \"blood\" of someone who mentioned \"dogs\".....sounds like the pot calling the kettle ......\"eh, you so black, huh ?\" .... ooops another 'racist' remark ....

You are saying \"tiong\" and \"abnn\" and \"pinoy\" is akin to same meanings as \"dogs\"?

Sorry, we're on very very different frequency and I totally disagree with what you say.

Tiong, abnn and pinoy refers to humans. Tiong is hokkien for \"Zhong\" of \"Zhong Guo\", which means China in hokkien.

I'm not sure how abnn (maybe related to clothing?) evolved but pinoy likely come from the word Filipino.

These words normally have some basis.

Calling someone a human term with basis is different from calling someone an animal.

abnn, kek leng kia, oh peh are all racist words which i think should not be appearing at all in the society.

abnn : derived from the tone of how they speak ....... neh neh neh.
kek leng kia: derived from the sound of the cow bell.
oh peh: derived from the colour of the skin.

also ti ko: which is very very bad word which i don't think i would like to explain here. those who are hokkien should know the meaning.

sometime i really wish that these words will vanish one day. our great grand parents have done wrong, we shouldn't have follow them. we are now living in multi society country, we should be hand-in-hand and make our daily life happy and stress free be it PRs/FTs/SCs. only this can make singapore prosper. government has seen this problem and have been trying to integrate them together but still see both side unwilling to accept each other, some will say why not he started to change first, if no one taking the first step, who will?

sometimes i ask myself, what do i want achieve in my life? Money but not happy? happy but no money? rich but living in the old folks home, while children are capable of taking care of me?

for me, stay happy and healthy with family and neighbours is my goal in life, don't have to be rich but enough for some savings will do. so what is yours?

each time no matter which country we go for a term break holiday, i always look forward to flying home. proud to be an SC.

Singapore, our home SWEET home.

agreed with what you say but sometimes, the behaviour of singaporeans when they are touring overseas make you want to find a hole and just disappear from among them

okay this another topic for another day :offtopic: :snooze:

agree!!! before we say others we have to first ask ourselves if we r doing the right thing too.
one of my colleauges often ask this question: if you go to public toilet and accidently pee on the surrounding, will you clean it? on the contrary if you do the same thing at home, will you clean it?

so i guess this is human being. I often see singapore cars throwing rubbish out of the windows on the highway in malaysia (whether they are malaysian or singapore i don't know) and one of my friends used to say this to me: in singapore I will be fined, in malaysia no, even if there is, it's nothing to me, ringgit is so cheap. I almost wanted to drill a hole for my head when we are being horned by other cars.

this will happen everywhere in the world, it is self discipline that counts. there are always good and bad SCs and FTs.

have done a search on this link http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/novena


actually there are more than enough places for everyone, be it PRs or SCs or even foreigners. it became problem when everyone rushing into Prime schools when government started meritocracy. see balastier hill primary school has only 33% TUC. compare to SJI, ACS, SCGS.

so why are we crying foul here that we do not have places for school? we should say, we have places for school but we want only TOP school. Government, please do something, we want to complaint, otherwise beware of next GE.

imaging if government do it away with the ranking system and put everyone on ballot for the school of their choice withou what phases and everyone is supposed to accept the outcome, will anyone complaint since there is no ranking? I may be wrong, but i think this could possibly satisfy everyone.

Why would pr quit sg cos of p1 places if all sg schs r good schs? :evil:

just wondering already without edusave, no child bonus, no parental leave, no hdb loan, no hdb grant, pay higher lift upgrade, higher school fees. last year additional property stamp duty for second unit, now another previlege in education being removed. later dunno what else......and yet their sons still have to do NS. ofcoz they will leave. for those really talented with high pay, the can choose to go anywhere n will b accepted, leaving only those claim to b \"talented\" but half qualified PRs. it is a big lost to our country.

it is sad to see that globalisation is hitting every countries, even scandinavian countries are accepting more foreign talents to cover their economy need while we r chasing them away. those countries r giving equal status for even work permit holder's children to study for free if u worked there for more than two years.

ofcoz i will not rule out that there r many untalented talents, what singapore needs is to select those prs carefully, take only those really talented will do. its the quality n not quantity that we want.

as what uncle Lee says, those talents r crucial to our economy growth.
so by accepting only really qualify talents n limit too many of them can help solve both education n economy problems, isn't it better? it is the previous few years of government policies that created too many of these problems. uncle lee's vision is economy but the cabinet's vision is next GE. isn't obvious that the cabinet n the leader r not inline?
