He will look at you as though you are a village dialect speaking bumpkin because Hokkien, truth be told, does sound low ses.  Any wonder why it is not even chosen by the Chinese to be China's putonghua? 

The year is nao 2024.  Watch out for Lawrence Wong's national Day Rally.  Hokkien will not be spoken.  Stop living in the past.  Time to move forward.

You all booners can wait till Seventh Month, sit in front of a getail, all with either white hair or no hair, and speak all the Hork Kien you want.

You might still be entertained by some 3rd world bu from Johor who can speak Hork Kien and sing one or two Hork Kien gua for the ghost of an era gone, but you are free to listen in.

45% of Singapore residents shant be there.  Nor will new citizens.

And yes, do remember to wear your Seiko5 watch.  And if you still have some (white) hair, remember to apply lots of Brylcreem or Tancho.

Many a taim, we lament how Singaporean society had degenerated while imagining that the older generation, our forefathers, were better.

Pictures like these remind us that every generation had its 369, Centrepoint kids, Far East kids, ah bengs, you name it.  Even when I looked at kids at child care centres, I did wonder, which among them would grow up to be the next menace to the society of the future.

This is why I don't blame the government when I see old people collecting cartons for resale. They have a story, and we should find out why they are doing this. And for all you know, they do not blame the government but vote for PAP. They accept that they are what they are because of themselves and they blame nobody for it. The 39% like SgBuffet like to use photos of them to say PAP is this, that, and the other. They are not sympathetic, they couldn't care less about these peepur but only make use of them for their own political agenda...

SG’s identity has been built on the notion that everybody has a fair chance to move up the social ladder. The idea is that social mobility is created through individual decisions to work, study and invest in ourselves. In reality, many are still struggling to achieve material success. This challenge to social mobility is because the poor lack the buffer of riches, so fear making mistakes that have consequences on their livelihood. This prevents them from venturing out of their safety zone i.e. playing on a level field with the wealthy. With more wealthy foreigners moving to SG, social mobility is getting even more difficult.

You are once again completely mistaken. With more ultra rich foreigners setting up family offices in SG and buying up freehold land, prices of private properties and rental will shoot up. This causes COEs along with the price of everything else to increase significantly. That means that social mobility gets even harder for the masses to achieve i.e. they stay in a HDB flat and couldn't afford a car before they became PMEs, and won't ever be able to upgrade even after they obtain their degrees and work as a PMEs. Do you understand now?

Not true.  GCB and even private flats with no condo facilities can go up in price to the moon, but the government can moderate HDB flat prices.

Anything is possible.  If it can raise GST to 9%, if it can make it a crime, albeit a minor one, not to return your tray after eating, it can slap a ceiling on how much HDB flats can be resold.  Want to deal with resale prices crossing the one million dollar mark?  Just pass a law that says that no one is allowed to sell for more than 5% above his purchase price.  Job done.

Why do you keep missing the point? The S'porean masses want to upgrade out of the HDB heartlands to private residences. They have the same dream that upgraders like me had when we were in our 20s, but the difference is that PMEs of my era managed to do so in our early 30s. Govt policies like inviting wealthy foreigners into SG, giving them pink ICs and letting them buy freehold land has resulted in pte properties being put out of the reach of the true blue S'porean HDB dwellers these days.

HDB flats are what make us Singaporeans. We should be proud that in land scarce Singapore, nobody needs to sleep in the streets.

You are looking at the fact that 80% of S'poreans don't own their homes through rose tinted glasses. You cannot dismiss the aspirations of young educated citizens who wish to upgrade out of the HDB heartlands to own their own condo/house and car. Except for a tiny % of them, the rest will live in public housing and rely on public transport for their entire lives in S'pore.

Need I repeat the words land scarce?

We are not Malaysia. Suck it up. There's no way 80% of us can afford condo. Get real. If you must live in condo or landed and drive a car, it's taim to migrate to MM2H.

I have mentioned the scarcity of land in SG many times, but you probably cannot remember. That is why I am against our govt courting ultra rich foreigners (including money launderers) to become SG citizens and buying freehold land at such a rate that prices of landed homes, rental and just about everything has become so expensive since business costs also shoot up as a result.

My family have been living in a condo and driving cars for decades, but I am not sure about continuing to own a car after I retire. It will be a drain on my life savings.

Why should I migrate to MM2H ? I was born here , lived in a landed house then bought my condo with my hard earned money. I owned a car from the moment I started my job here till now.
There’s no place like home.
