Why Ngee Ann City and not Pinoy Embassy?

[Confuseous]

Sabrina Nasir, in a comment, said it wasn't fair for Lee to compare London to Singapore. "We are a small nation and allowing too many fts had caused (sic) too much inconvenience, overpopulation and an unjust employment system to your own people... Try walking in our shoes instead and understand more of your people's plights," she wrote.

Negative sentiment over the planned celebration, said Michelle Tung in a comment, comes from "deep seated (sic) concerns about overcrowding and jobs taken away by foreigners."

James Chan, pointed out that the issue wasn't the celebration itself but its chosen venue. "I am quite sure there are better places to accommodate our Filipino friends in celebrating their independence day instead of in the heart of orchard road. How about their embassy grounds? Or sentosa? Or east coast beach? Or hong lim park?"

Singapore last year tightened requirements for work passes, imposing higher fees for companies hiring foreign workers and lowering the maximum ratio of foreigners allowed in certain sectors.

Lucky Plaza is the only shopping mall in Manila that don't require security measures like body and bag searches for entry or metal detectors.

As an Honorary member of the Ngee Ann Kongsi, I insist this PIDC, whatever, should be eke in Lucky Plaza.
