Hi all:
I think this is what I'm advocating all along. Don't bother with Chinese PR or
citizenship. Singapore may not be the best place to live but it's passport still
has some use internationally. At the very least, you don't need to apply for
visas to go to a lot of countries.
What best to do for "suffering heartlanders"?
Rent out your HDB and collect rental. With that rental, go retire in a second
or third tier city. Despite all the nonsense in parts of China, some 2nd and
3rd tier cities are shaping up nicely.
Some of these 2nd/3rd tier cities are scoring big in cleanliness, efficiency,
healthcare, public security and eco-friendliness. Believe me...there are such
Chinese cities. Hordes of Chinese officials came to S'pore to study our
system in the 80s and 90s...and some of these officials are bringing back the
better aspects of S'pore.
For the more garang S'poreans, sell away your HDB and buy 3-4 decent
apartments in a 2/3rd tier city, be a landlord and survive on rental income.
For the rest of S'poreans, sit back and continue whining.
To each his own.
Good advice..... don't just grumble and bitch about how pap mess up your life... get away from it by living in prc....
