Agreed but at the same time disagreed with your view. Understand your emphasis on their individual concerns and welfare - that very much I agree.
But at the same time, I believe we have the right and the freedom to voice out and reason with these selfish foreigners.
Dun see why TS as a foreigner shouldn't be flamed. He asked for it, didn't he? He refused to engage with us in a humble manner and insisted on glorifying his cause that resulted in more annoyance and anger.

thank you for your understanding.
however, I am not saying that it is "wrong" to voice your dissatisfaction. Rather, to me, it's a matter of, what is the point?
I am a singaporean who had served NS, and it was before it was shortened to 2 years (ie I served slightly longer), and I am in infantry, not downgraded, and just next month I have to return for another high key reservice.
thus if anything, I should feel as or more dissatisfied than many here.
however, to me, throwing out my bitterness or flames at TS serves no purpose. Everything she has said is perfectly legal, and even if we somehow guilt trip her into not removing PR status from her sons, there are many more like her, and it will not solve the root of the problem - that being our nation's immigration policy, or perhaps our low birth rate which necessitates the use of large numbers of FT.
I am also not going to take some moral high ground and somehow claim that it is due to "selfish foreigners" that we have this problem. Self interest is basic to any human being. I doubt all of us (although some are exceptions) will be so moral as to not plan to do what TS is doing should we be put into her shoes.
