Yes. To Singaporeans, Australia is very expensive now. A bit like the 1970s when Singaporeans come here.
But if you are from China, Australia is affordable. Even the local Uniting Church in rich suburbs like NEDLANDS have Sunday Services in Chinese.

Is that why Singaporeans are flocking to New Zealand?
Re: Subsidized Housing in Toronto
Wow!!!! An apartment in Canada with fitness club, swimming pool and indoor pool for just $300 a month???? Seems like the Canadian government is really very generous. So going by this, even people on dole should be able to afford this kind of house. As such, there should not be any homeless people in Canada.

I have been hospitalised in both Canada and Singapore and believe me the experience is very different between the 2 countries.
In Spore you have many nurses from 3rd world countries. The quality of these nurses vary greatly. I suspect the ones with the experience are able to move on to 1st world countries like Canada, Australia,...
These 3rd world nurses can ignore the patients messes(e.g. bed wetting) & leave it for the other shift to take care. Can you imagine the hygiene problems
While in Canada, the nurses are seasoned veterans, some have a degree. They are very competent & more importantly they see nursing as a viable occupation. The nurses in Spore are not paid well & once they get enough experience they move on to better things elsewhere. There's a shortage of nurses in countries like Canada, Australia, USA,.. so the experienced nurses are welcomed in those countries.
According to this news, only 24% of the people who immigrated to Canada found jobs that matched their education. That's means the rest ended up doing blue collar jobs like storeboy, taxi drivers or MacDonalds. The reality is that foreign qualifications are not well received in Canada :(
Look in the sg gov directory and see whether 1:4 of the directors work in jobs that match their education. I'll bet you will mostly find too many military men and scholars managing departments and functions that has no bearing whatsoever to their original learning and training. Some even hit jackpot and get invited into a GRC and become your future MP.
Also, are the odds better than 1:4 for people above 40 and out of work being able to find new work in jobs that match their education? Think about it.
Got many 40+ taxi drivers with degrees in Spore. Many of them were replaced by cheap foreigners.
I'm sure many of them will vote for the opposition in the next elections
hi wendy
i dunno why u r so anti-canada.
every country has its problems, including singapore.
i do agree that if you are ambitious and want to make a lot of money very fast, you shouldn't be in canada or australia.
u should be in China or HK or even Singapore. u can also go to USA -- in spite of what's happening in US now, US is still a land of opportunities (note 'a' and not 'the').
i've been in vancouver and toronto and i love both cities.
vancouver is beautiful (including richmond) but it is also a strange place -- beautiful houses and scenery but there are not much industries or commence -- it looks like a holiday resort -- a place for the filthy rich to play and relax, and park their money, i.e. buy a house for vacation or retirement use.
i prefer toronto. it is the financial capital of canada, and if i am not wrong, is the biggest commodities trading center in the world -- and commodity is the big thing in the near future. and canada has one of the most stable and conservative banking system in the world.
the streets of downtown toronto looked safe to me, and i wasn't afraid to walk alone in the middle of the night -- something which i wouldn't dare to do in the USA. USA has a lot of places which are very dangerous. USA doesn't feel as safe as Canada to me. (well, you could argue Singapore is safer than Canada - but Canada is safe enough for me).

I think this Wendy Poh is working for the PAP gov't . How else has she's got so much time to post all these one sided propaganda
For those who have been to Canada, they can't help by being impressed with what it has to offer. Had a Spore colleague who thought I was exaggerating about my experiences in Canada but after she returned from her holiday in Canada she's as enthusiastic about the place
Spore got alot of problems now :(
Other than the murders, suicides, even a pedestrian walking on a pedestrian walkway is at risk of being run over by bicyclist from PRC, India,...
You're likely to get flooded out even in Orchard Rd, Braddel Rd, Macpherson,... If you are a car owner just imagine the cost of the repairs.
