When you are too use to enjoying subsidies from government, it will become like an entitlement, not a previledge.

Singapore is building a 3mtpa LNG terminal in Jurong Island, and it will be ready in 2012. Once this is ready, we will be able to import LLNG from far aways sources such as Australia and Qatar.

Mrs Lee's health hasnt been good since the stroke in 2003, and since then she has aged alot. As for LKY, I think he will definitely feel bad for not spending enough time with her during the final moments of her healthy life. 

If you are young and healthy, you should feel ashame of cursing at LYK and wishing for his death because you are worst than an adult trying to pick a fight with a toddle

M&E,

I dont think I need to bring myself that low to continue this senseless debate with you both.

FYI, I have been reading some of your discussion in this forum for awhile and sad to say that you both lack substance in your arguement.

cheers!!

Which other survey are you referring to?

Maybe you can post a link so that we can judge for ourselves?

The propaganda which the Straits Times and ChannelNewsAsia mentioned last year was the Mercer survey.

In terms of sanitation and health, Singapore is ranked 50th, losing out to all the major Australian and New Zealand cities.

My guess is that you have been too caught up with trying to reinvent the wheel and you have totally forgotten about reading what have been discussed in this thread.

What you have implied in your reply to me is that your definition of "working and spending good times with friends and family" is unrelated to your definition of "quality of life"

May I suggest that you read what this thread is all about before posting.

We are talking about Singapore being one of the best place to Live AND work. Not about just living or working.

If you still cant understand what I am saying then I think there is no point to continue our discussion.

you are trying to tell us that working here is not part of living here, thus living and working here is different from living here?

you are trying to tell us that quality of life does not include working here?

There is a difference between working and spending good times with friends and family. And what I am saying is that it is the combination of both that make Singapore a great place to be.

You say quality of life in Singapore is definitely going to fare pretty bad, then you tell us it is a great place to live and work??????

 

Do you understand the meaning of AND?

what is the point of criticizing when you cant offer a solution?

I follow the same survey results findings as you.

You mean you are disputing the survey from Mercer which you posted?

From the survey results, it clearly shows that all Australian cities are better places to live than Singapore,

not fogettting that they are also cheaper than Singapore.

 

 

I don't need to work in Singapore because I already know how the system marginalises common folks.

At least there is a glimmer of hope in Australia.

 

You said better place to live and I am saying better place to live and WORK? Do you understand the difference?

Talking about marginalising, do you know that in Australia the system doesnt motivate people to work hard, because the harder you work the heavier is your tax burden, unless you are the boss of the company

I'd prefer the Australian or New Zealand cities, they end up higher up the scale in terms of best cities to live and work in, but none

of the associated high cost of living like Singapore.

 

All the major Australian cities beat Singapore hands down.

 

P4P managing one small city can't even compare with Australia.

 

I would suggest that you go to Australia and work for a few years and then tell us if you are motivated to work or motivated to slack.

It really depends what you are comparing. If you say quality of life, qualify of air, qualify of space, then Singapore is definitely going to fare pretty bad. To be fair, since Singapore is Singapore why should we be talking about something which by default is small.

The point of this discussion here is that, Singapore is the great place to work, live and have fun.

I bet you are going to argue that only the rich can enjoy life in Singapore. However I do think that Singaporeans are taking too much things for granted and they dont really appreciate what they have.

Is quite shameful to let a foreigner tell us how lucky we are to be living in Singapore.

Ehh... EROPAGNIS.... please go out and visit other parts of Planet Earth.

Singapore is NOT the only place that is  a good place to live, slack and make a decent living.

 

If you want to preach about democracy, then you have to respect the findings of the survey unless you can prove that the survey is bias

What I am trying to say is that, Singapore is not the perfect place to live, because we dont have fresh air, we dont have big open space. However in view of the impact in globalisation, there is NO place in the world where you can slack and still make a decent living.

If I am a foreigner.. I also say Singapore best place to live.

Because you dont like your own country?

According to some survey, Singapore is ranked as one of the best place to work and live. I wonder why so many people in this forum are so unhappy?
