Yday was telling my sister-in-law about our elections coming. During the 2006 election, the ruling party used "lift upgrading" as carrot. This time round, it is -10% economy output to scare us into voting for them.

Last few days my mum saw the news about Sands hiring 800ppl. I quoted her a scenario. Eg, at foodcourt, hawker centres, retail and restaurants and sbs bus drivers, the companies hired foreigners (at lower wages) But did they sell you their things/svs at cheaper rates? No, the money they saved from hiring foreigners went into the pocket of these companies.

Our MM said many countries are tightening their immigration laws but not Singapore. We are still opening our doors. Target is 6.5million, now is 4.8million. Still got 1.7 million to go!!

"I think the ONLY thinking the government appears to have done on migration is two fold: first, keep the proportion of one race high; second increase the population base to increase the revenue base. That is it" --> The blogger said this. It is soooo true!!

Went to my sister-in-law's cousin's house last night. It was a 4room flat. 1 room belongs to her cousin (a couple + 2 children, 12 and 14yo respectively), 1 room for the cousin's Malaysian relatives (3 adults) and 1 room is for a PRC couple (both 24yo, just got PR, registered marriage in singapore). It was an overwhelmed sight. They housed 5 foreigners!

Yday the ranking of the World's most expensive cities. Singapore ranked no. 10. If one day Singapore ranked top 5, i would prefer to live in Osaka, since by then, not much difference in cost of living.

Till then, i can be like the little boy boy i met on last sat. He was 15mins late and i asked him "where did u come from?". He immediately said "Singapore!". I controlled my laughter and replied "of coz lah,,i mean which area u come from". He said "Yishun".

I will remember this boy boy's initial answer when i move to Osaka..LOLZ
