early retirement good what

job market not meant for sinkies

only foreigners eligible to apply
especially ceca

on their facebook chat been tons of
ceca dp holders getting employed

thankful to our foreign manpower minister

moreover you aint got right to compete
with the invited foreigners

know your place

go be a security guard and guard these
foreigners home

else

be a phv taxi driver and drive them around

your life born as a sinkie is to be low
real god fuçkin low till never to lift
your head up when facing a foreigner

best reincarnate properly

remember not to pick singapoo as your
birth destination
