    • No free lunch.

      They have imported so much foreign talent here to take the job of native sg peasants.

      It is time for the foreign talents to repay the poodles for setting such a loose gate standard.

      So, since the foreign talents are not serving NS and doing any reservist, they should do something for their "hotel".

      Therefore, the poodles should make it compulsory for the foreign talents to step forward and donate their blood.

      The native peasants cannot be the suckers for the all misdeeds and mistakes of the poodles.

      The pathetic peasants are always protrayed as the bad guys when things dun turn up well.

      It is not fair.

      The gov also emphasis that "there is no free lunch". So it is little wonder nobody is willing to sacrifice their own time to donate blood. Rolling Eyes

    • I fainted the last 2 times when i donated blood. But reason i dun donate often is I'm just plain lazy to make the trip. The times I donated were all when they came to my school, NS camp & company.

      The pain is definitely tolerable.

    • - Transport to and from the donation center (around $3)
      - Time taken to complete donation (around 45 min)

      in return for
      - cheap refreshment (around $1)
      - irritating sms reminder

      Doesn't seem like a fair trade Confused

      They should at least compensate the transport fee to attach donor. Rolling Eyes

    • For me I just dont like seeing blood taken away....something psychological...Im not comfortable...

      Even for testing.....like when Im sick and sometimes doctor ask me for blood test....Im not scared of the needle piercing the skin etc....what I dont feel good is seeing blood sucked away from my body...
