i cannot disagree.

 

its also my opine that many migrated due to the lower quality of life here compared to ,say, australia or new zealand. can anyone refute me for what i said? come, let me hear it.

 

also its my opine that private sector is more stressful than public sector. salary wise, i dare not provide my opine for the fear of my ...

 

so, assuming private sector = more stresss. examper, highly paid CEO if his team does a big boo boo impacting the entire INC and the Stakeholders, he gets the gunni sack also, no doubt about it, even if he was not the one who caused the boo boo. Its called RESPONSIBILITY. Some call it ACCOUTABILITY.  capable also like that. PUREST form of MERITOCRACY. or put it this way, if the company does not show the stakeholders they are unbiased and accountable, they will not survive. Private sector. Survival of the fittest. nothing is free. unless you are born with silver spoon stuck in your s... or have famili connectione or inherited...

 

can it be said that less of those who migrated used to work here in public sector? that is, most of those who left are from the private sector?

 

i no no bah. u know meh? good lor.

the people....errmmm....the peeper....i no no lah.  i have to give them benerfit for doubts lor. that they got eyes wan.

 

lets see how this thing is managed at the end.

 

see, so many are interested in how sg is managed. who said apathetic?

 

 

aye, eager, u no wan to lespond to that ar?

 

 

lady und gentersman many many,

 

is this escape the 1st in sg historic?

 

if so,

looking positively at the situation,

is it fair to say

 

that this serves as a indicator of how fast/slow someone in sg can be caught given its small tiny size where there is no caves and mountains and canyons and jungles and volcanoes and everywhere is fully developed? no where to hide?

 

next time, if other kinds of criminality runs away, or did something bad to city, and run away can run away how long?

 

but to be fair, i must admit, our talents are world record and so far managing the crisis quite reasonably well given the rarity of such cases happening.

 

Casino. When it comes, i hope not too many murderers and money laundering and thefts and robberies . Why ? u dare ask me the Y?

depends maybe, just might be, maybe = maybe not, the percentage of those working in Public or Private sectorian.

 

u know wtf i mean? (no offens, i just cannot help but use Mr Blown's WTF)

How har?

 

got such lobang or not?

 

ZERO ?

 

if you can know the VISION in advance,

does that not equal to knowing the future?

 

then, do things in advance.

 

then, sure to catch the wave before all else.

 

so, i like to know

 

who has benefitted by being given tips what business to run?

and who are asked to run certain businesses when they don't even know a sh.t about the business and as result earn tons of money? kind of comfom win kind of thing ? kind of based on equality ?

 

so everyone also follow the clowns lah?

monkey see monkey do?

 

 

hi folks,

 

am just thinking,

how many would not mind migrating so that they can have all their cpf in their hands, to see how it feels like to hold them , splash them on the bed and sleep on it?

 

i suspect some do but they cannot because they are not able to migrate. the capability to migrate can prevent someone from doing that. the mental ability to adapt overseas is also another. comfort zone.

any democratic citizen is FREE to choose whoever they want as leader. or they can also choose whoever they want out of power.

 

this is the meaning of democracy.

 

those not happy about this,

can go live in N.Korea or Iraq or even China or Cuba.

Feel FREE.

 

that being so,

Democrats (as in people who believe in democracy) should accept that no party is guaranteed to stay in power forever...except cases where...cannot say.

 

i like to ask, being a layman, why malaysia or other country nebber implement something remotely like the system we have for vooting?  very good right? our system. like this more UNBIASED, JUSTICE and EQUALITY mah, no meh? u no belif of the me meh?

 

i wonder why countries alound the wer no implement ours systematics.

 

sigh...we so model country....why har?

 

any smart brain got power brian to answer me?

 

why other country fail to see the 'beauty' and democracy of our systematic?  small country really different than large country is it? compare durian with durian or ang mor liu lian?

 

i no no de.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hi

 

Not in connection with any known incident,

I just curious to check with experts here

how fast it is to drive from Toapayoh area to courseway or to the beach where one can take the boat and go to batam huh?

 

lets say on a afternoon before peak hour lor.

 

anyone tried your fastest drive in this kind of scenario?

 

ok, its illegal to drive fast.

 

so, lets say hypothetically, there is no speed limit and everything else remain the same.

 

how?

 

i think its just how many highly educated people are willing to join the opps. but like Eager, I may or may not like to see this happening as it means my favorite party may be challenged.

 

altho last 50 years or there-abouts not much challenge , if what is there is any challenge at all, then maybe another 10,000 years is possiber. The majority are the FACTOR that makes them win.

 

sg seems like much about study qualification.

 

so what i meaning is, if 10 good doctors join or form new,

they can pose a challen.

 

its not that they never loose. I think its that no one form a club to challen.

 

again, i reiterate that i am like eager. we no like see them loose.

acturely i more neutre than eager.

 

i think most of you belif me say right?

I have been reading this reputable and useful aunt agony forum and wanted some advices on what I should do right now. This is my problem.

My ex is still in the same class as me.

Everyday without fail, she'll filrt with almost every guy in the class, whether its on studies, jokes or anything. This irritates and affected me immensely on my emotional status. Even though we are no longer together, the sight of her smiling with other guys triggers a strong volume of jealousy deep within.

The worst thing is, I don't know how to get rid of this jealousy problem, even though I know we can no longer be together. I even tried to walk out of the classroom during lunch hours just to avoid seeing her with those guys, but to no avail.

This caused me to become moody every now and then. I have also tried every possible ways to extinguish my feelings for her eg. thinking of other girls, studying real hard, sleeping etc. I am really at loss of what to do.

So fellow SGforumers, please advise me on what can I do to avoid sinking into depression and dropping in my grades. Your help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. 

hey abang,

 

u no need worry  so much.

 

1.  a gal who likes to flirt. what loss is there ?

     its a blessing you not attached with her! save so much trouble!

     u wanna be a cuck.... noris?

 

2.  u looking for good gal who can be wife or a sex-toy?

     look at the character. could she be a good faithful wife when one likes to flirt? remember character and sex-drive of a person cannot change much.

 

i suggest this:

1. find any nice / decent looking gal and flirt with her and this will make you feel better. i think your ex is trying to slice your heart. some bitc.... are like that. they like to get attention from as many man as there is.  some where deep deep real deep down inside, they shiok. these are usually no more virg. u want second hand ar?

 

think about what i said. is she really worth it?

 

 

sg failure?

 

how can? I was given impression that all world class tip top wan leh. everything excellent wan leh.

 

i think majority believe also.

 

 

Lady dan gentersman many many, Selamat! 

 

1.  if he took the bus or taxi, would the drivers not have reported? would the passengers not have seen a man wearing brightly coloured unusual clothing?  How plausible is it that he escaped via PUBLIC transport? use your brain.

 

2. if he did not take public transport, how did he get away so well that after over 1 week into the 2nd week, he manage to escape? When he escaped , say after 10 minutes they found out, it would not be difficult to catch him right, if he really just used his 2 legs to escape on his own without help right?

 

3. who can comform that he was NOT picked up by his accomplice?

was there a plan? no plans maybe.

 

4. If he had escaped out of town, would he such a high IQ many have obediently, law-abidingly have queued up and used the official exit points ? use the blain, once again.

 

So challenging questions.

 

sg'reans so smart.

 

got blight future. altho need so many FT....

 

above are purely questions with no answers. thus not implying anything other than your imagination. trying to help. that all.

 

 

 thankyou you.

Hi,

 

my overseas friend does not like to buy a car, as he feels its super expensive and money could be spent more meaningfully.

 

he has converted his license to drive in sg.

 

and he likes to find out if there is renters in sg for sports cars like
:

 

1. MR-Spyder

2. MX5

3. Miata

4. Copen

5. M3

6. RX8

7. EVO

8. WRX

9. S2000

 

he likes to rent for only 1 day, eg. Saturday and return on Sunday or for Sunday and return on Monday.

 

but all normal car renters always tell him at least sat and sunday and charge at $120 a day.

 

he still cannot find many sports cars renters. He is puzzled why renters all say cannot rent for 1 day only. I mean, its business. 1 day is 1 day revenue. Why they so choosey only like to earn at least 2 days? like a taxi driver asking the passenger who flagged it down, "here is pasir ris, where you going to?"  and customer says "tampines" then the taxi driver reject the customer saying too near, cannot earn enough like this and drives off. I mean, if the taxi driver not choosey and picks up this guy, he would at least still earned. Are sg renters too complacent?

To Reddressman:

 

1. the price of a honda civic type r seems comparable if not more expensive than a WRX ?

CTR is more expensive than a WRX 5dr version. But is cheaper than a 4 dr (sedan) STI tuned WRX.

WRX has a notorious image as a ah beng car. But what is your definition of sports car? A CTR is more a track ready car than a WRX. That means that a stock CTR can do well on a track, whereas a stock wrx needs better performing aftermarker parts to make it more track-friendly. Its all personal preference.

CTR is a NA whereas a WRX is Turbocharged.

 

 

thanks Dare2Kill :)

 

you seem well informed. As for me, i am just a layman.

what i meant was, WRX is known for its world rally championship and its abilities. As for Honda, even it may also be doing something like that, the impresssion to layman is that its not really a world rally famous car right?

 

its common on the roads but to me , a pure layman, my impression is that it is a common category kinda sporty car but not the real sports car. like when u see a WRX, u cannot say it is  not a sports car. whereas Honda seems like a family car with a bit of sporty look.

 

So i wanted to find out why the price I see on newspaper seems comparable between the 2. specifically, why people would pay so much for honda when WRX is clearly the more real sports car? with no offence intended to Honda luvers. just being direct and honest.

that is the holy undeniable truth.

 

the people had spoken and they had always had spoken. all in their hands. result of their decision.

 

i am neutral. i cannot say good or bad. self must be preserved.

when a manager is asked to cut cost,

would he care if he continue to hire locals or you think they will do what can help them preserve themselves by hiring contractstaffs at cheaper  price?

 

ren zi cu xing ben err.

self-preservation.

ren bu wei ji tien zhu di mieh.

 

in good times, people can show that they are caring.

in bad times, the real, true, honest character emerges.

 

or should i say,

in good times, everyone appears angelic.

in bad times, the true devil shows its ugly rear.

 

To do Evil is easier than to do good. Thus, ren zi cu.

i think before the escape incident,

people would generally think its no problem for them to handle the casino and all the troubles and problems and social ills it could bring.

 

i think once the escapee is re-captured,

i think the people's believe in the system could return.

As long as they can prove to the world they can capture an escapee, they should have no problem convincing people, with casino, sg will be able to be happy many many, ie, can stop the problems and make society just as peaceful and safe.

 

wow, sg is really got talent siah. so i think limp man will be captured soon since i got the impression they so stedi bombibi.

EXACTLY!  

 

Everyone should be accountable for their actions.

 

and this is the magic and spirit of Democracy, in my humber opine.

 

The people decides on the outcome. They , in this respect, must be held accountable one way or the other.

 

Your decisions affect all things. Doon pray pray. BALANCE is the key.   Else what becomes of ACCOUNTABILITY?

i think that is for the smart voters to decide.

 

afterall, they are the ones who chose whom they chosed, decades after decades.

 

quite remarkable, really. Few politico parties in the wer like this long win streak.

 

maybe, we should understand that it is the voters who gave the mandate. Politico parties like to have their support but its the voters who selected them and gave them power.

 

so far, I can only say they made the choice which is good or bad, depending on individual.

 

accountability. honesty. democracy. due diligence. justice. equality. BALANCE.

 

you make the choice!
