Challenge for change in Singapore


I am pessimistic about the future of Singapore. This is largely due to the kind of leaders that are now in charge in Singapore. But my pessimism is due more to the kind of people and the culture in Singapore.

Let me explain my view.

  1. In the past jobs were done by humans. Today, technology takes over, surely the job vacancies shrink?? Some places robots are doing the cleaning.

  2. You can bet people are worried about the future, more so when the Prime Minister gives his good name to some "free riders" under him.

  3. Too many different opinions, not enough evidence to support. All we need is just one

    Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Richard Branson, Jack Ma, or Lee Kuan Yew.

  4. Why locals are not a good hire for most positions:

    They live with their parents until they get married. Parents took care of everything. Some singles in their thirties still live with parents. They don't even know how to change a tyre.

    Most are brought up by maids. They are used to having things done for them.

    How many take public transport to school? Before school ends to take a look at cars queuing to pick them up or maids or grandparents waiting at side gate.

    One super-duper kid got under the balls st Ikea, and the family had to complain to the whole world. Most are wrapped in cotton-wool.

    Some parents slapped other children because they are roughened up by the other kids.

    When the Singaporeans went to discuss business with other countries, words like "Oh in Singapore we do it this way". That is the only sentence they can come up with.

    Some maids went back to the countries for annual leave. All one can hear from the Singaporean substitutes were "your house is too big to clean or your house has got too much clutter". The next show-up would be a different face from the agencies. Agencies also headache.

    In the end, not all employers can be wrong by not hiring them? Without good staffs, the company also cannot move. Xia Suay.

  6. Sg was already doomed from the start on that day it got separated from Malaysia, I dun think any local leaders would think its wise to merge and sell itself to a bigger nation until they felt the real pain soon
    Also, look at the past many low stooply jokes and mentality shown by the local leaders speech ranging from free pork rib soup, free smoke joke to mee siam mai hum, steal other people's lunches, dowager pointing middle finger on Facebook, and no sacking over foreign workers dormitories mishap, these are the obvious red flags

  7. The economy at present is artificially supported by government pump-outs. There is a lot of mixed signals on the recession.
