Awaken
I would like to see more Singaporeans awaken. Its ok whether they go to my neighbourhood or not. Just that they need to know they have a choice.
I have never said negative to foreigners in all the countries i have been to. This is where i was born and bred after all. Though there was scant feeding and much plundering of time, effort and taxes from me, i am still grateful.
Its mainly a combination of push and pull factors that made me decide to investigate JB early this year and see for myself what a place it really is.
Everyone has a reason and not all who are leaving are traitors. I will still be paying loads of taxes back to SG even when i am in JB.
There are times when even a person who love the country has to make hard decisions, if not himself, for his family.
Again, i have told the folks here not to get into condos and also the pitfalls and to check first before going. En bloc/mini-bonds, etc also happened in "risk free" Singapore?
As i said before, no one can guarantee what tomorrow will bring, not even in Singapore.
There are always uncertainties, its just that everyone has a different way of coping with it. No way is the right way but we all choose our path. Whether you ultimately will leave or go, i respect your decision.
We are talking about choices for the people, instead of being taught what to think and to always think of fear. Sometimes people need to know that there is world beyond our shores.
