In the past, as long as you are willing to put in long hours, hard work, the income part is a given for food industry people. But now, theres so much competition and other indirect issue like fuel price increase, etc, its no longer a given :(

Singapore is dependent alot on US. In earlier part of this year, out of 8 economists surveyed, five said Singapore would avoid recession. Three said there was a risk of recession. But now, we are definitely steering towards a more risky situation!

I think cost of living is not the main reason for not having more babies. Couples in singapore and other developed countries will always put their personal interest/enjoyment above family planning issue. Having worked in such a stressed environment, they will want to make worth for every $...

Personally, I dont care if its cheaper or more expensive. What I want is speed of travel and shorter waiting time. I do think if they can improve on those 2, I don't mind doing 1-2 transfer to get to my destination as long as its faster.

Its nice for them to fix a price but I doubt the price will go back down. Sigh.

No doubt that the frequency has increased. But the demand is still higher than supply :(

Since Thaksin is willing to go back to Thailand, I am sure hes confident that hes able to fend off any charges that may lead him to a jail sentence. At the most, its going to be heavy fines. Unless theres another change of government again ....

There were speculation that by 2010, the GST will go up to 9-10% depending on economic situation. But I feel this will always be a give and take situation like what some bro mentioned aboved. The question is now take how much and give how much :(

What Bro marlborotan is the reality. Lets face it, it doesnt matter whos and where the person comes from. Its human nature that people will always try to make use of whatever they have ($$, people, etc) to make things better for themselves. This is life, we cant change it. However, i...

Thanks Boss for the time and effort in this new forum! Its great and we all should make this forum a much better one than the Delphi!

Every community has its mix of good and bad eggs. But I do agree that the mentality that "angmo" is better stilll exists in Asian minds. Don't get me wrong, everyone in the world should be equal. And we are living in a mix of different people , different culture environment.

No doubt that China is a good choice. Just beware of the rising cost of living and also petrol cost increase. From my talks with the local chinese there, the best places (in China) seems to be Chengdu or Dalian. Pace of living is not as hectic as SH and security wise its better than GZ...

This is going to make ALL Americans admit they are really in recession.

There are other countries that do the same to be honest. If I am not wrong, you need to pay a $1 extra in Guangzhou when you take a taxi there. I am not objecting to the 30 cents surcharge since thats a fixed charge and not like the 30% type. However I am supportive of the idea of doing...

alamak, this is kind of a overstatement la. Singapore has always been respected (by other countries govt and even citizens) for the strict laws. It doesnt matter if you love it or hate it. These are one of those things that make Singapore today. Theres no perfect system in the world , its...

My take is USD wont not pick up so soon. Given the sub prime impact is still NOT totally understood and felt and measured, I think its still 1-2 years before things will settle down. However, I believe the crude oil price increase is not just due to the USD reason. Until today, there's...

This is my 2 cents Ummo is undergoing a tough period as they have no1 credible enough to make people believe. Najib seems to be the only choice for Abdullah now but people are speculating that hes buying time to groom another candidate. To me, Anwar is a history. He can only act as a...
