I have this to say;
BE afraid… be VERY VERY afraid.
Because what’s highlighted in the video, is JUST the tip of the iceberg of what more that are YET to come from these migrants’ social attitudes as well as uncouth tendencies – especially from China.
While I agree that there are Ugly Singaporeans, & I gipe about them endlessly, there are also decent well mannered & cultured Singaporeans. And they are smaller in percentage compared to the ill-mannered & inconsiderate ones. With the influx of these crude loud & uncouth migrants, over the coming decades, you can expect MORE of our finer locals who are likely better educated as well as globally mobile, to fly away.
So in such a scenario, I’m saying this; “Garbage in, goodies out…”
Seriously, WHO wants to stay (apart from those of us who CAN’T AFFORD to leave) in a country where living costs excalates, & service standards back slides along with the state of our society’s social fabric???
I’m worried about my future in surviving here.
A very good n thought-provoking video posted here in TOC,keep it up!
May The Force Be With You!
Time to vote the PAP out forever!!!
Yes it is high time to vote the screwed up PAP out.Just look around you everywhere china people flooding our shore,wont be long we will become the 3rd China.
If you are unhappy with what the goverment is doing,it is about time we show the PAP that we can vote them in and we can also kick them out.
Look at the behavior of the Chinese who hogged the SBS bus because of a small issue – Why did SBS and the rest of the passengers tolerate this incident?

Who or which government department did Al Jazeera invite.
I…. love.. the… internet….*muacks!
I feel my brain suddenly shifting back to its center of gravity. Oooo….
where is part 2…TOC?
more singaporeans need to see this programme…I have had enough of MSM…
I love the last statement, where the government decline the invitation to participate in the program. The silence is deafening.
The government wants us Singaporeans to be loyal to Singapore, when was the last time any of the governments’ initiatives that shows their loyalty to Singaporeans? They keep pushing us to be better and better, but do we get better pay or quality of life in Singapore? We still hustle day in and day out.Working longer hours, job constantly under threat by immigrants, they want us to have kids but never really give the oppurtunity to raise these kids. How can this be done if both parents are continually at work. Ask the grandparents? Whats init for them? Do they get paid or get some kind of social? You take and take and u bring in ppl who are not loyal to the country but to its people as well. How dare you say its for the better for use when it is only better for you?Any material in this world you push to a certain limit and they will snap.You need us more than you think. Have a heart or grow one artificially.
No 10:
Damn fine piece of posting. VERY well said.
So PAP, please wake up your idea… your days are ACTUALLY numbered now.
Thanks for sharing this video. I hope more people will get the chance to view it and more importantly, our ministers need to view it.
The ministers need to get into the public buses and ride in the trains. They need to spend an afternoon in the foodcourts and in the shopping malls to know what is happening.
They need to talk to real singaporeans to understand the challenges and the concerns that we are facing everyday..
Good videos but there is one more thing they did not cover: highly skilled Singaporeans who are dismissed in favour of FTs who have lesser skills and experience but who receive much higher pay.
The videos also do not cover the plight of medium skilled Singaporeans who are forced by “apple polishers” to be banned from other companies and who are made to take up lowly paid jobs, just to survive.
Lowly paid jobs as in: I know that some of those managers at Shop and Save earn about $300 to $400 SGD per month. $400 how to feed the family?
