Many leave because they just can't stand the sight of dishonorable despots holding power (and holding on to power by persecuting the martyr Dr Chee Soon Juan) plus the fact that it is better to be a foreigner in this country than to be its citizens and the blame for that falls squarely on the shoulders of the despots.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sure. it takes two hands to clap but should the bigger hand always put the blame on the smaller hand? Of course not. When the bigger hand is dishonorable, it makes the whole body dishonorable.

Deprive the Singapore private companies of resources and then lose the money to foreigners! Dishonorable despots.

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the old days, before the internet, the people only read propaganda. Now, they know the truth and the truth is, the despots make life difficult for the young Singaporeans while they take massive amounts of public money for themselves and their own children and support foreigners.

They should just call themelves FPAP - foreign people action party or the other f word, which would be appropriate as well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Smart or Idiots? Taking money from Singaporeans and spend it on foreigners?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Honorable governments leave the money with the privaste sector to invest but dishonorable govenrments, like the despots here, grab the money and lose it to foreigners.

That is why there are no Sony or Samsung in this despotic country.

Not "imagine" but a fact, at least in terms of the multitude of them.

 

When I applied for a work permit to work in Thailand, it was really difficult and I got it only because the company (Thai public listed company,) showed proof that it was next to impossible to find Thais that could do my job.

 

 

 

 

 

 

But what's the point? If not Australia, people can go to other destination as long as they get away from the despots and their money grabbing policies.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Did the dog's master sent him here to bad mouth OZ because Singaporeans are going there in droves?

 

 

 

 

 

 

The US DOW has gone up by more than 400 points in two days but to keep it in perspective it would be telling looking at Barclay's (the despot's darling) share price.

July 2007 - 700+ (the price the losing money to foreigners despots bought)

Two days ago, 264

Today, 290.50

In two days, up by more than 10%

From July 2007 - still down by more than 400!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They care but putting more public money into their own pockets is the overiding consideration for them, not the welfare of the people and in fact, more stress the better if that leads to the despots making more money.

 

 

 

[b]Dow Rallies by 200 Points - AP[/b]

Stocks surged Wednesday as another drop in oil prices helped offset concerns about a jump in inflation last month. Also, Wells Fargo's second quarter results beat Wall Street expectations, and investors appeared pleased by Wells Fargo's decision to raise its quarterly dividend.

Oil prices resume slide, falling sharply after US reports unexpected jump in crude supplies

NEW YORK (AP) -- Oil prices tumbled Wednesday, putting prices on track for a dizzying drop of more than $10 in just two days of frenzied trading.

==================

The down-move in oil and the up-tick in stock prices could be the start of a sustained trend or it could be a technical correction. At this point it is anyone's guess.

There is the danger that the down move in oil is the start of sustained deflationary pressures.

Dow below 11,000 and those heavily in debt paying for exobitant HDB prices and COE.... watch out....

When the despots persecute opposition and dissidents like the martyr Dr Chee Soon Juan, and the people remain silent, this is the punishment that they get for supporting evil doers that have no qualms taking massive amounts of public money for their own pockets.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is it like asking whether if it is the Zimbabweans fault that Robert Mugabe is still the pres of Zimbabwe.

Sure, the techniques Robert Mugabe used and the techniques the dishonorable Singapore despot used are different but the objectives are the same.

You want to blame anyone, blame the public money grabbing despots.
