He is lucky to be born Malaysian. Working in Singapore & buying properties back in his home country is so blessed. Being Singaporean, I cannot afford to even buy a HDB flat because I eat, shit & support million $$ cabinet government to show my loyalty. No choice this is a high price to pay being Singaporean. When we open our mouth to tell truth, it becomes POFMA = Lesse Majesty Law. Just suffer to support our million $$ government. I believe in retribution. If it does not happen to them will happen to their decendants. God above is fair to all. Time will tell.

While Singaporeans work their ass off and still cannot afford a single property. We can actually remove the Merlion and replace it with a Candle. We give light to everyone while destroying ourselves.

Seriously feel that it’s better to be a Malaysian than Singapore! Malaysia Boleh!

If a Malaysian spends and saves wisely, after 12 years working in Singapore, a decent freehold house (4 bedrooms) and a decent car in Malaysia is achievable.
Now, Proton S70 premium category cost about RM79K.
1.5L with turbo charged engine, rear view screen and path finder mode.

Sons of sinkapore served NS to protect the cuntry. But who benefits from the prosperity of the land ? Definitely not us. Where is the logic in this.

In Singapore, housing is expensive but can only stay till 99yrs!

If were to buy a car, high COE, insurance, road tax and only last for 10yrs.

Nothing is an asset for Singaporeans!! Unless those staying in freehold!

The average Malaysians DEFINITELY have a BETTER quality of life from their years of working in Singapore than born and bred Singaporeans. They COULD at least afford and OWNED a family car and a MUCH LARGER property at the end of the day when they head back.

Singaporeans?? Serve National Service and Work till OLD and DYING and YET many still CAN’T even at least afford a CERTIFICATE OF ENTITLEMENT, much less buy a family car after and raise a family… 🤦🏼🤦🏼

Many work as traffic related enforcers too?

[horologyenthusiast]

While Hardworking Sporeans doing the same or even more than this Malaysian and even serving NS probably would slave away with no retirement. This is home, truly, where i know i must be, where my dreams wait for me. 😂
