It is a painful experience, when one’s have commitment, of loan, car loan & family commitment. You could probably not able to find the same salary job as the previous one.

One of my good friend was retrenched from the Marine Sector after 1 year and 8 months of working… Now he is struggling with part time studies and work as a daily rate contractor installing internet modems.

Jack, haven’t you noticed the disproportionate amount of cynicism in cyberspace? It’s all due to the disproportionate amount of sycophancy in our one-party controlled mainstream media, which admittedly is of high quality except for local political issues. The journalists and editors simply do not want to risk their livelihoods by going against the ‘norm’. Sometimes it is so bad that they practise totally unnecessary self censorship and excess lopsided praise, so bad that if I’m a party elder I would cringe when I read those sycophantic one-sided ‘editorials’.

to Sena Gbeckor-Kove, I say welcome to Singapore! The business environment is great, and so is the food. One thing you’ll have to get used to is the weather, though of course if you;re mostly indoors that should be ok.

Only after a time spent here will you begin to see and hear the stuff you read on this page – the other comments. That will be up to you to interpret things as they are. Things can be tough, and so they are, but as a born and bred Singaporean myself, who has been around, I would say that there’s no better place than home – and that, my friend, is Singapore.

Work hard, save like crazy, spend/invest wisely, and you should be fine. I wish you all the very best.

To sporean in nl, previous suggestion about meeting up was meant for you not Johnny. I’m married to a Dutch/Vietnamese who also has her own business. We’re moving them out to Asia I’d be interested in your thoughts.

there’s something to improve on in any place and yeah you’re right, who better to make suggestions on changes than the ones living there?

like i briefly mentioned, i got married to a dutch so living in NL now. we don’t know how long we’ll be here but figured it’s a good place to start, considering my husband already has a job here and im a fresh graduate (yes ie in between jobs ).
