You sound frustrated living in Singapore. Have you sold away your lousy "highest density psf in the world" HDB flat and consider migrating elsewhere, like Iskandar? Hmmm... come to think about it, that would give you lots of money from the sale.
It never fails to amuse me when Singaporeans talk bad about their own situation and country (they don't know how fortunate they are really) but at the same time, they are still keeping their pink ICs and/or still have that seemingly disgusting pigeon-hole HDB flat. Why keep it if it's so bad and has little value? Is it?
I haven't heard it mention that SG is a "pee sai" country. Your mischievous son told you that?
On the contrary, I have come across and heard too many people from all walks of life and immigrants exclaiming how lucky and happy they are to be in SG. People from China (of course), Philippines, India, and lo and behold, yup, Malaysia.
Funny that you guys are taking a snapshot of Forest City or Puteri Harbour or whatever place and say Wahhh, see? SG no fight. It's going to go down soon. Property prices will crash. Of course Forest City is no fight. It's a China Chink infested place situated in a corrupted 3rd world country! What could be worse? If you so like it there, why not quickly grab a condo to migrate over to?
Always remember the song: "There was a time when people said that SG won't make it, but we did...." SG's high cost of living did not happen overnight. If this had been the case, the country would have toppled way back in the 2000's.
In the '80s, grandmothers used to tell the grandkids: "During my time, a bowl of noodles only cost 10 or 20 cents. Now it's S$1.50!" In the '90s, the price went up to S$2. In the 2000's, it was S$2+. Now it's S$3.50 and idiots here are like: "WOW WOW WOW, I cannot take it! I can't survive! Noooooo... SG is a damned place! Johor food sooooo cheap!" From S$1.50 to S$3.50 after 30 years you complain what???
Looking at the whole thing from a broader perspective, I think it boils down to the phrase "one man's meat and another man's poison". There will bound to be people who hate Singapore and prefer living elsewhere. There will bound to be many Malaysians who wouldn't think twice about getting a SG citizenship, settle down here, and would never ever want to go back to a corrupted country where their government favors a certain race.
The real situation I encounter is so different from what is often being discussed here. My Malaysian colleagues, and friends or friends of friends have related to me countless stories about how hard it is to get into a Malaysian uni despite their good grades, about how they or their relatives have been mugged or have things wiped out from their homes by burglars. Yet, ironically, there are panicky little chickens running naked, shouting "The sky is falling!!! Singapore is doomed! I must send my kids to schools in Johor!!!"
Now, I don't also necessarily like the SG government. But do not take for granted the safe environment we have in SG, the high standards of living, including good education and healthcare. Many of you here are not earning $1k or $3k a month. But you talk like you are finding it hard to make ends meet.
Plan for your future rather than bad mouth your own country, or other countries for that matter. If life is so hard to bear in SG, why not quickly find ways how you can get a Malaysian residency or even better, a citizenship? Then go buy a nice big house in your Iskandar. Go please! If only many people think like that. Then Singapore will get rid of many unappreciative buggers who still keep their "pathetic" HDB flats but at the same time, bad mouth SG.
Of course, he'll next tell you that he has 3 other fully paid condo units to collect rents from and he's still building up his properties portfolio.
