I do not know how our govt can stop them?
If u hurt an American, US will demand a naval base for them to avoid war
If u hurt a Chinaman, all sg businesses in China will be hurt
If u hurt a Muslim, terrorists will be offended
If u hurt a British, they will force us to buy their excess goods. ( opium)
If u hurt an Indian, they will make us absorb another 500k Indian talents
Seriously, we are screwed, at the mercy of foreigners. Thanks to George yeo and tony tan, foreign talent policies.
Funny you dont mention malaysians, since they are supposedly biggest proportion of foreigners.Quote:

We need more FTs here to teach these soft, spoilt, crybaby Singaporeans a lesson.
Whatever happened to the hard driving, hardworking, weather all storms attitude of our forefathers'?
My parents did not complain when they started their married life in a rented room in Holland Drive far far away from their parents. They also did not complain when i was born and had to live in that rented room with them!
They kept their heads down, worked hard, saved hard, led a frugal life and bought themselves a Farrer Rd HUDC a few years later.
Fast forward a few more years, they traded in their HUDC for a terrace house in Bukit Timah.
Fast forward some more, they started accumulating apartment and condo units as investment properties in the central Singapore region, riding out the ups and downs of the property market, but mostly ups.
The rest, as they say, is history.
There are in fact many foreigners who invested in Singapore's properties without even working here! These are the problem ones! Once economy downturn, they sell and run... no more foreign money in our land! :pQuote:

No secret..chk out dos website..numbers are all there :doh:Quote:
