Anyone here have plans to migrate?

[cyke69sg]

doesnt matter what you say, I do not like overcrowded

I don't like also.
Have you moved out of crowded SG?

this is not good, you need to be more responsible in your words

Really so bad in SG now?

some shortcoming can be improved.

What if the shortcoming is limited land but forever increasing population density?

there is a Chinese saying 比上不足比下有余 （To fall short of the best, but be better than the worst）

why don't u see HK, Tokyo, Jakarta, Bangkok, New Delhi, etc ?

New Delhi & Jakarta daily traffic

Tokyo subway daily affair

Hong Kong congested housing

if u desire space, would u mind the inconvience ?

isolated village in Scotish Highland where no public transport, lack of high speed internet, often power trips, no clean water supply, expensive to engage contractor to fix yr electrical, maintainance, w advance booking, going to buy grocery need to drive > 10 km, no or expensive to call ambulance service, etc.

to eat out is like once a fortnight and driving > 10 km and lack of choices, just 1 Chinese takeaway, 1 Indian restaurant, 2 drinking pubs w old men hangout that close by 10 pm, other shops closes at 5 pm on weekdays, off on weekends.

I stayed in Scotland for about 2 - 3 weeks, get bored w the lifestyle.
most ppl still read books instead of internet.

nobody here can live up to 200 years old

I lose hope in this country liao, i can just feel people are generally unhappy here

It doesnt feel like home anymore, feels more like a business

It's obvious that there's two systems in place, one for FT one for citizens

I dont want my future sons to sacrifice and protect the country that doesnt protect the interest of its own citizens

Good luck to those who are planning to live here for your entire life

ya migrating to Pluto kym

Why do you use extreme examples? there are thousands of cities, How about compare with Chiang Mai, there are outdoor natures, there are gorceries and malls. infrastructure not as good as Singapore but things can improve and get better, there are things to look forwards. What are things to look forward in Singapore? Is population density going to decrease?

Why do people think Singapore is the happinest City to live in?

there is reason why govt want to have 10 mil population.

our economy is sustained by activities.

wo enough ppl, many co r not sustainable, so is our GDP.

if we compare w Msia, w population 6x of ours, our GDP still exceed Msia.

if we don't have enough population, who is gg to use the infrastructure that were setup by our govt ?

the expressway, MRT, internet broadband, education system, monetary system, legal system, shopping malls, etc, etc.

we become like another 2nd or 3rd tier China city like Kunming


the GDP of Kunming, the capital of Yunnan province, was approximately US$116.2 billion

the total population of Kunming (prefecture-level city) was 8,6 mil

Kumming has a population density at over 393 persons per square kilometer.

Singapore on the other hand has a population density 8,300 to 8,800 people per square kilometer.

u should be very comfortable in Kumming, would u like to have their level of salary ?

very soon, Sg will be forgotten by the world, just like many small European nation like San Marino, Andorra, etc

not yet... it's all in planning stage.. but for sinkies i think we are allowed only O-A (1 year), and strangely not O-X (10 year)
O-X is for Singapore PR only.

I think DTV (5 years) is another option but need to sign up for some language school and I heard they really check your attendance in class etc

Unlikely be staying in BKK, CNX possible, but more keen to look for even lower tier.. as long as there's good quality, don't need world class, medical facilities.. as long as the COL is lower than BKK/CNX and less tourist, less crowded, less noise etc

 

[jeffrey745]

Really so bad in SG now?

I'm not sure when u moved out of sg

Right now our population is like 6m+.

We suffer from overcrowding, noise pollution, light pollution etc.

It maybe good to build up one's career here but certainly not to retire....
