Chitchat World's most unhappy people in world's least miserable nation. Why?

Sinkies have been borne with a mentality that " the grass is greener on the other side '. It can't be helped as even the government keep drumming it into our mindsets that we are a small country unlike other countries which have rich hinterland and natural resources. There is always the dissatisfaction even when we have achieved so much. So, while we have a high standard of living, people are still not satisfied. Houses are expensive. So are cars. Sinkies are rich but they don't feel rich in Singapore. With their wealth, they expect a much better quality of life. It is possible in other countries , but not in Singapore.

Sinkies are unappreciative. The grass is fucking green right where we are.

Houses are expensive because the PAP government invested a lot into public infrastructure, safe streets, fair laws and commerce.

Houses are cheap in JB not because UMNO is competent, but simply because the place is far less developed, the streets less safe, the cops more corrupt and people there don't have much faith in the local laws to protect them.

It is true what you said about why houses and cars in Singapore are expensive, but I would add to that is that the ministers are also the highest paid in the world. Somehow, the money has to come from somewhere to fund their salaries.

Houses and cars are cheaper in US and Australia and NZ. Are the places less developed ? Not that I know of.

After you take into account dirty money by most politicians, sinkie politicians are amongst the most lowly paid.

You really think the politicians of most ASEAN countries only earns thousands of sing dollars per month as listed in those kind of 'politicians who earn the least' kind of list?

and that is unique how?where does the government get the money from to invest in infrastructure?theres nothing special about singapore really,its just another cookie cutter city,copy and paste,bread and butter city build on the blood and sweat of coolies and farmers.i can easily clone another colony of singapore by importing another million or two chinks,average or above average,doesnt have to be the best,chinks are naturally hard workers and somewhat smarter than average even the daft and stupid sinkies,we can thrive anywhere in the world and create wealth and prosperity and progress anywhere even in africa or southeast asia.whether its taiwanese chinks or hong kong chinks or sinkie chinks,any colony or city full of chinks is bound to succeed.
