I think the only real reason that anyone should quit singapore is for the sake of their children. Not for the sake of Money, nor retirement funds, nor better job, nor bigger house, etc. All these are selfish reasons. But quit because you do not want to subject your most precious things in life to the education system, to the PAP brainwashing, and to the spectre of fighting tooth and nail with foreigners for jobs and uni spots that are rightly theirs, to NS, and just the sheer pressure of no fun life in singapore as a 3rd class citizen. Let those old farts like me, with no kids and confirmed bachelor stay behind and fuck the PAP good good at every turn. And wait patiently for the day when they will get voted out, eat shit, and we can go on a revenge vendetta against them. I live for this moment.
i already wasted my youth. when i was in school, i was totally brainwashed by pappies. after asian economic crisis i became skeptical but can't do anything about it. poor what, and i live in marine parade GRC, nobody want to fight for me then. when i finally realised i've been fooled... i'm still poor and ah neh have invade NCS and IDA, stealing my jobs even before i graduated. what to do? family also poor, and mostly pappie dogs too. really no support from them at all.
im not that old, but i already have nephews, white hair, and qquite sure i'm going to be "alone forever". i fight on because i really have no choice now.
i've met a aussie cheena who migrated to OZ back in 92', he told me if i just take a plane ticket to aussie, i confirm can find a restaurant job but i will have to share small room with others like some chinaman ,and eat even less protein than i do in singapore(he told me i will only be able to afford meat once a week), i listen already i know i have no willpower and no physical strength for that. if i was 10 years younger , or maybe during my NS days,i could endure that. but now, no way. i will cough blood.
my wallet never got bigger. my heart and soul died for singapore long ago when i knew my family, my friends and that gahmen, have betrayed me. anger is really all i have left. if i don't fight on, what else can i do? just die? no. just no. sorry if i sound schizo.
