PAP or not, Singaporeans are like frogs in a well.

This is not a PAP logo, just a logo I happened to see on my neighbourhood, imprinted on a lamp post.

There is something going recently, or at least weeks back that got me troubled. Its about Singapore, about China, about the futures of Singapore, and what our Lao Lee, Mr Lee Kuan Yew said.

Do you believe that our mindset as Singaporeans is stucked up? Do you believe that we feel we are on the top of the world? Despite the fact that most of us are struggling ever for the More money, much better syndrome, despite we know we should start looking ahead to our futures as not stable and know yes, as Singaporeans, we should not be too comfortable in our world like a frog in a well, we still think we are the best, Singapore is comfortable and all.

Lee said this recently. About the fact we need not worry for the next five years, as there is the IR be built in Sentosa, we will be attracting the investments and attention needed globally, about the fact that in Asia, we might face another ups and down crisis again in the coming years. What makes me sad in general is what he said in the end. That we should stand up ourselves and not depend on him and his decisions anymore. Something about his saying, 5 years okay, but 10 years from now, don't come to me for directions, for 10 years from now, either I am dead.. or on some wheel chair and cannot really fuction and decide for Singapore. Does he mean Small Lee, Lee Hsien Long in general, or does he mean generally as Singaporeans as a whole? It's rather disturbing to us Singaporeans.

Singaporeans think that they always don't have freedom to decide. PAP is always in control. There is no political freedom. However, do most Singaporeans feel comfortable in getting out of the well, and see whethe frogs can make love to create better looking frogs outside the well? I dare say most Singaporeans do not dare to venture out. Most of us would prefer to choose to remain in the well and complain, and feel comfortable in the well, and let anything to be decided outside the well by our superb government, PAP. Look, its not how restrictive our government is, its what we as a whole Singaporeans are restricting ourselves with. You change first, don't wait for the garment to change you. Or rather, SPOON FED.

Lao Lee also said something about the fact that yes Singapore can do good and make good decisions. But in consideration to the Super Power China race, Lao admitted that anything Singapore can do good, Panda China can do even better. For those Singaporeans out there who think China is way lay back and still a country bumpkin, let's look at another picture. Supposely, yes, China is a bumpkin, but China is a bumpkin that attract all the foreign investments in, it has become a super manufacturing power. In Dalian, like India, it has attracted foreign outsourcing to be carried out there. There's plenty of highly skilled workers in Dalian meeting the demands of the Knowledge Management empire globally. Never seen Dalian? Its a superb modern city that attracts not just bumpkins, but all powers to it like a magnet.

At least Bumpkins do more than follow the steps of their leaders. CCP gave them directions. And Bumpkins marches out in an army as a whole, driven for success and glory. Follow and at the same time, they improved their livelihood dramatically. Tell you something, most of them earn more than your local Hainanese Chicken Rice Food Stall Vendors now, some of them even richer than the public listed companies' CEOs. Frogs, all you get to eat is only a small picture of what farmers are doing now!

So Singaporeans out there, if you think China is no good, you're wrong. Look at the Chinese in Singapore. Contact Singapore is finding every means to attract foreign talants into our little Island. With the chinglish and weird patterns and habits that seem so Ah-thiongs to us all, they are slowly growing many many and taking up jobs in Singapore. You might feel they are bumpkins, but they are way far more intellectuals than us frogs. In the end, hungry bumpkins might eat up frogs in the well, a metaphor's speaking.

Singapore hitting 4.7 million people in population. Too many jobs too little people the garments say

There's something i actually don't understand. Recently, Singapore is on an ever push for talents to come and work in our little country. Our little country is also very worried that the current situation of aging population and little amount of babies born equals to the fact that it will affect any economic drive needed to push anything for the better. So I guess our garment is really happy should any migrants come over and make babies here. This is something i dig out from MSN news:


Singapore's resident population, including those granted permanent residence (PR) status, totalled 3.68 million, it said.

Deputy Prime Minister Wong Kan Seng, who is also in charge of population issues, told the Straits Times newspaper that 46,900 foreigners were granted PRs in the first nine months of the year. A total of 57,300 foreigners were granted PRs in 2006, he said.

Regarding concerns by Singaporeans who fear competition for jobs from newcomers, Wong, who is also home affairs minister, said: "Our challenge is not the number of jobs available; it is (that) we do not have enough people to match the current rate of job creation."

I guess Singaporeans might be worried about not finding any good jobs should all the talents come in. But I have to say, we are more worried if the economy slows down and many more out of jobs, less incentives, less pay, less benifits to the citizens. To me, I rather welcome more migrants. First thing, more people come in equals to Singaporeans need to hop out of the well, which means, its good for us. For the snobbish people we are who always think we are on top of the world, facing challenges means only we should improve. Many also said a lot of us go out leave and never come back. I believe that was what the country wanted us to do in the first place. No?

For those interested in living in Singapore, just go google "contact singapore" , or visit www.mom.gov.sg

Contact Singapore "Singapore – Your World of Possibilities" Exhibition Day 1 & 2

Okay so to promote more about the Singapore Season. Here goes:

I was helping out as a Volunteer in Super Brand Mall in Zhu Jia Zhui, Pudong area, just beside Shangri-la Hotel and that Oriental Tower in an exhibiton helped by Contact Singapore called "Singapore – Your World of Possibilities". This exhibition is part of the theme Singapore Season help in China, to promote on what is it like to work in Singapore, living in Singapore and studying in Singapore. Tough work I tell you, you stand whole day [12 hours] cannot sit down, the exihibition area was on a slope in the Mall at third floor. After standing for hours the previous day in the Gala Dinner, the slope can kill your back i tell you. Funny thing is when you get to shagged after a couple of hours, the back pain suddenly just disappeared o.O

I was stationed at a booth based on the theme Manpower Singapore. Basically, job scope was to promote that Singapore is looking for foreign talents, what are the various work permits available to talents should they decide to work in Singapore, give out freebies, guide them in using the computers to find the information they need, tell them the various industries Singapore is looking for talents yada yada

If you are interested in seeking out more information in Chinese on how to find work and what is it like living in Singapore, there is a Chinese version of Contact Singapore Website you can look at. And this is what I can tell you after telling loads of visitors. To find an ideal job in Singapore, You can either directly contact the company or boards you are interested based in Singapore (example: Tamasek Holdings, Ministry of Education, Sprint, Sembcorp, IBM, etc..), send your resume if they have any vacancy and hope you get an interview and a job was offered to you, and viola you will get your residence permit and work permit and you are on your way to Singapore. Or you can try this:

quoted from Ministry of Manpower on EPEC:

The Employment Pass Eligibility Certificate (EPEC) allows foreigners who are i) holders of selected university qualifications, or ii) current or former holders of selected skilled migrant visas to stay in Singapore for up to one year to facilitate their job search in Singapore. Generally, if you have been granted an EPEC by MOM, you are likely to qualify for an Employment Pass upon securing employment in Singapore.

which basically means you can try to get a social visit pass (if you meet the requirements for EPEC), live in Singapore and adapt to the environment slowly, at the same time you can find job there in Singapore legally. This one of course, not just appy to Chinese citizens, any foreign talents from anywhere around the Globe can Apply!

You can try to evaluate yourself and see if you are eligible for EPEC via a personal test run using the EPSAT created by the Ministry of Manpower. Please don't disturb me on comments on how to help you find information on my blog. My voluntary service to the exhibition. If you need more information, just go visit Ministry of Manpower Singapore and Contact Singapore!

Singapore Season Gala Dinner 2007 - Shanghai

Singapore Season Gala Dinner 2007 - Shanghai

Together with some exchange students from NUS and Singaporean students studying in Fudan University, I was helping out an Usher in the Singapore Season Gala Dinner Event helped in Shanghai last Friday. The Gala dinner in Shanghai was helped in Shangri-la Hotel at Pudong in Zhu Jia Zhui. I have to say it was an eye opener for me. Lots of celeberaties, important people. All dressed up nice for the evening.

Sadly, I have no photographs to show of the wonderful event that took place that evening.

Its rather interesting to see all the various people who made this possible. From the stage crews to the back crews, all busying themselves early in the morning for the night event. Just before the event started and crowd start rushing in, securities were tightened up to ensure the public area were safe and not TARGETED by terrorists. o.O

We see all the smokers cigerretes triggered happy here in China this time. Perhaps a sudden freedom in "can smoke anywhere" makes Singaporean smokers out there in the event happy. Yuh, even in Shangri-la Hotel here in China, you can smoke. The lobbies, corridors and walking lanes allows smoking. So you end up seeing the dancers and artists lighting up, cheerful and all in their coversations during smoke breaks. After staying here for a couple of years and suddenly seeing this sight, I just have the urge to go over and say to them "Song bor? Can smoke anywhere no need find yellow box liao (hahahah)"

The dinner proceeded after important speeches with peformances from our local artists. Very well done. Vibrant, creative, very artst. Very well toned with the Singapore Season 2007 theme.

One attraction that formed a spider web in my mind was a mini fashion show. Those models are so tall. Standing a height of 1.8-19.m tall, and wearing those high heels make them look like they pop out from Star Wars. Of course, beautiful customed gowns they wear and make-ups heighten the senses.

Gala Dinner ended with He Yao San singing with groups of kids going up the stage to join her in the singing.

Went home after the event. End up crossing the bloody river in a ferry for 2 RMB after some dumb taxi driver insisted Tunnels are closed and cannot go to Puxi Xuhui Area. Want go Xuhui District must take Nan pu Bridge, making the meter double in cost and distance. Zzzz..

Singapore Lao Ah Beks love to go Karimun for SEX! POM POM!

Aiyoh, Singapore old men on news again. Guess what? Same thing again, sex in cheap island lor.

Tanjung Balai (Karimun), Indonesia is where they love to go. From Singapore, you can take a ferry and arrive there in about 3 hours. Eh, I not promoting the place okay. But just telling you all what they doing.

SINGAPORE MEN having their dinner with some local girls at Ho Kia restaurant, a popular eating place among Singaporeans in Tanjung Balai on the Indonesian island of Karimun, which is a three-hour ferry ride from Singapore. ST PHOTOS: AZIZ HUSSINApparently, there was a crackdown in Mid May 2007 this year, which lasted for about a month. 100 Singaporeans got caught at the scene. HAHAHAHA! (Want play kuku jiao dun scared kena. All the flowers growing on the birdy you also not scared, no need scared malu) This forced many Singaporeans to divert their attention from there, keeping their weenies small and controlled. Singaporeans always got this mentality: Dun get caught, very malu(embarrassed) one.

I think a lot of this visitors should be old people, or uncles in their mid life crisis. I suspect also most of them maybe are Taxi drivers. How not to think this way? Every time I sit Taxi, some uncles bored one will sure talk dirty with me: tell me where big where good where cheap where got many.

Occasionally some complain about the Mainland Chinese ladies who always loiter in our Geylang District. Now think back, aiyuh, all the uncles acting only.

Now their choices so many, got Tangkok-Ali, Viagra, old uncle no need scared cannot do. HAHAHAHA!

below is extracted from the straits times in regard to this post. Wah, I tell you, ST also damn good in choosing time write this kind of article one. Do on weekend news, then aunties see, then uncles hong-gan liao... LOL

source: The Strait Times

".....The Singapore men were seen walking hand-in-hand with their 'cewek' (Indonesian girls) making their way to seafood restaurants around town.

Most just smiled and refused to talk when approached by this newspaper reporter. Others shook their heads when asked if they were looking for girls and walked away.

One said: 'Sorry, I do not know anything about the raids. This trip is my first time.' But locals familiar with him said he was a regular.

Another, a widower in his 60s, said he came with a friend and worked as a lorry driver.

'I like to come to Karimun to enjoy myself. We can have a good seafood meal for $20.

'Sometimes, I try to get an Indonesian girl to keep me company. Those from Java are very pretty, and they also know how to treat men nice,' he said.

He said he had heard about the raids from a friend and avoided coming.

But now, he thinks that everything is okay.

'I am not scared because the Karimun police will only catch the types who book the young ones.'

A Singaporean who looked to be in his 50s said he had visited the island only last week.

'The usual things, makan, sleep, sing. I am not choosy. I do not need a young girl, but she must be pretty,' he said.

'We Singaporeans come here not to do bad things. We pay everything for the girl. Now, I do not go out of hotel room. I just tell my driver to take the girl to the hotel, and we stay inside. We do not need to come out; it is not safe.'

One man was even defiant about his plans. He said he was here to eat, drink and have a good time, and there was nothing wrong with that. .....

.....

When police raided the place sometime in May, close to 100 Singapore clients were at the scene.

'They were traumatised by the experience, although the police left them alone. Until today, some kept calling me to ask if it was safe to return,' he said.

........."

Aiyuh, don't disturb these old men la, Singapore. They're very lonely people. Some more standards of living in Singapore so high, want eat seafood also hard. Give them their imagined paradise for the weekend won;t hurt to much one. If you are so worried about the image of Singapore, then find some educational outreach to these old ah-beks sea whether will listen a not. They may probably visit your local turf club during the weekends and earn some short money to enjoy the trip over. Don't pour too much water on them.

Anyway, I think the local police in Karimun also trying to dig some Kopi-lui from all these, at the same time to stop all those forced prostitution and under-aged selling. So, this one we Singapore don't worry also. I think the one we most worry is scared those old uncle's wives go that island cat fight with the locals only. Socially, we all so scared die, WOMAN power very strong one. mai kia kia.

Reviews: Looking for a good site to rent apartments in Singapore?

When we are overseas studying, the first thing that we need to settle after being accepted in the university is to find lodgings in the new country.

Since 2004, I had moved to 8 different apartments to cut down costs of living in Shanghai. It was cumbersome, time consuming and a waste of money to give middle man fees these few years. Comparing the price of living in a school dormitory, I saved like 10k rmb annually.

Fudan International Dormitory costs of living is:

1. double bed room - shared: 1800 rmb monthly

2. Single bed room - 2700 rmb monthly

both comes along with bathroom attached to rooms rented.

However, if I stay outside the school, I can look at a price of 800-1500 rmb for a room, saving lots of money. It was said that in 2001, the prices are cheaper. The prices raise dramatically due to too many rich students who think paying more is okay. New price of rental can go as steep as 1600rmb per month now.

So when I can across the site Advertlets promoting a german student in Singapore who is trying to create a portal in which people can find lodings with ease, I decided to help him do some publicity for free here in this blog. Sebastian is German, an ex-NUS student, and at some point, was very frustrated why he could not find accomodation easily in Singapore. That’s why he created RoomsDB.net!

RoomsDB.net is a non-commercial portal helping people to find housing for rental or for landlords to try to publicise empty rooms. It aims to reach out globally as a portal for Singapore, Taiwan & Hong Kong.

This is the excerpt from the website:

"....
roomsDB.net is a noncommercial and not-for-profit project which aims to provide Singaporeans and all others who want to find or rent out a room in Singapore a simple and easy to use tool - completely free of charge!

.....Unlike other conventional room rental websites, we do not require you to register with us when you use roomsDB.net.

.....It's even the same when you post an ad, you just have to provide a valid email address, that's all! It's that simple.

.....After posting your ad to roomsDB.net a confirmation email will be sent to your email address containing a link that you have to click to "activate" your listing on this website.

.....roomsDB.net encourages landlords and tenants to deal with each other directly, that is why we keep this website simple and functional.

Shanghai set to overtake Singapore as world`s busiest port



Singapore, June 18: Shanghai is set to overtake Singapore as the world's busiest port in 2008 as the Chinese economy continues with its stellar growth, an executive of the city-state's port operator said in remarks published Monday.

Flourishing global trade has enabled Singapore terminals to handle a record number of shipping containers in May, but volumes in Shanghai are growing faster, Kuah Boon Wee, chief executive of PSA for Southeast Asia and Singapore, told the Straits Times.

"It's a function of their growth and China's exports are surging," Kuah said. "But even if we're not number one, we will still be a significant player in world trade."

Chinese state media said last month that Shanghai has overtaken Hong Kong to become the world's second largest container port in the first quarter as containers handled rose 28.1 percent from a year ago.

In the first three months of the year, Shanghai Port processed 5.9 million TEUs (20-foot equivalent units) while Hong Kong handled about 5.5 million TEUs during the same period, up 2.3 percent from a year earlier.

Shanghai Port had been the third biggest container port worldwide after Singapore and Hong Kong since the end of 2003. Its container throughput capacity has kept a growth rate of over 20 percent in the past three years.

Kuah said PSA Singapore Terminals moved a record 2.28 million containers in May on the back of robust global trade.

In the first five months of the year, PSA handled 10.79 million containers in Singapore, up 14.42 percent over last year, he said.

"Areas such as Eastern Europe, the Baltic area, the Middle East and of course China, all showed strong growth in trade this year," he said.

"We have been working very hard to find ways to help customers make incremental growth in their business so that they will continue to increase their volumes here."

PSA Singapore Terminals is the flagship terminal of PSA International which is owned by state-linked Singapore investment firm Temasek Holdings.

PSA International handled record container volumes of 51.29 million TEUs last year, 18.6 percent more than in 2005. Its Singapore terminals handled 23.98 million TEUs last year.

The port operator earned net profit of 1.21 billion Singapore dollars (USD 786 mn) on revenue of 3.74 billion dollars.

PSA is one of the world's top port operators with facilities in 15 countries in Asia, Europe and the Americas.

MediaCorp unveils new projects at Shanghai Television Festival

source: CNA
Wednesday June 13, 10:17 PM


SHANGHAI: Singapore's MediaCorp group, with its multiple news and entertainment platforms, is stepping up efforts to entrench its presence in China.

It announced several new projects at the Shanghai Television Festival.

MediaCorp is to collaborate once again with China's national broadcaster CCTV, to organise the 8th International Inter-Varsity Debate.

MediaCorp says response from the non-Mandarin speaking countries is especially good this year, with participants coming from the United States, Canada and even the Middle East.

Said Shaun Seow, Deputy CEO, MediaCorp (News, Radio & Print), "We think it's a very worthwhile project to do with CCTV because it helps to popularise the use of Mandarin in the world.

"It's the 8th time we're going to collaborate with CCTV, and it's a very, very good relationship we've built with the Chinese big TV broadcasters.

"And this is not just the only broadcaster we've cooperation [with]. We actually do it with many other TV stations in China and this is a way we think we can add value to really what we do in China."

MediaCorp's News and Current Affairs arm is drawing on this close relationship with China to produce more long-form features and documentaries, which will provide viewers with fresh new perspectives of many interesting Chinese cities like Changzhou in Jiangsu province.

Going beyond co-production, MediaCorp is now also stepping up efforts to market and distribute "made-in-China" productions in the regional and international markets.

MediaCorp Studios unveiled its latest offering "A Mobile Love Story" at this year's Shanghai TV Festival.

Said Chang Long Jong, Deputy CEO, MediaCorp (Television), "The last few years actually have seen a lot of period costume drama being produced and exported, but there's a new trend now in China market itself.

"I think they are encouraging a lot more modern and contemporary dramas, and we feel that it's also a good time for us to explore this genre.

"You can see that "A Mobile Love Story" - the whole presentation and... packaging is very modern, you don't feel like it is made in China or made in any particular city. It’s just very cosmopolitan, very contemporary; and we have confidence it'll appeal to a larger market."

After 13 years, the Shanghai TV Festival is now one of the most influential media events here in China.

Every year an increasing number of broadcasters from all over the world gather here to hunt for opportunities to tap into this very lucrative market. - CNA/yy

Review: Advertlets Comes to Singapore


As I was browsing the web today for more ways in which I can improve my blog's access, I came upon Advertlets, a Malaysia-based web advertising company aiming for bloggers to promote their clients' advertisements.

Strangely enough, Advertlets seems to have a liking for Singaporeans as a market to promote their niche. I guess they are doing so much better than our dear countries[aka singh-kapoh! and Malu-SIA!], who are often seen bickering at each other at the tiniest things we can deemed off as Children's Pillow FIGHT.

Browsing through Advertlets' website showed me see a couple of elements which excited me. Not the money, but their web design. It is filled with cartoonish banners which makes me feel young, and reminds me tremendously of the comic, Mr. Kiasu. Very easy to digest, and easily well-liked I say, I'm expecting lots of youths will be signing up to them to earn a couple of dollars soon. Hey, it's good also, makes young people go practice their writing skills.


What's more, they are offering to Singaporeans cash to review their website from now till 31 July 2007.

Advertlets welcome various bloggers of ethinic race. Why so? You can write in Behasa Melayu[I am sure Indonesians can write in their own pidgin], English and Chinese.

One thing that touches me greatly when viewing through Advertlets' website was I came upon Yvoone Foong and Advertlet's cooperation. Yvonne Foong was only 16 when doctors diagnosed her with a rare genetic disorder called Neurofibromatosis. Her mobility is greatly affected as her illness accelerates against her health. Still, she fights on with her disease. Advertlets deserves a thumbsup for giving her a platform to raise medical bills. You can access Yvoone Foong's blog here.



So, why Advertlets?
Advertisers can choose their target group in accordance to the reader's age, hobbies, location to determin how well their advertisements can run.

For Bloggers, we just need to simply add in a couple of line into the html of out blogs and VIOLA, the advertisements that we choose will be shown online via our blog, and Advertlets will cash in for us the money in due time.

Advertlets is breaking into a new market in Asia in which allows blogger and advertiser to co-operate to gain a win-win situation. You gain, I gain. Everybody happy.

I like the system in which Advertlets choose to use polls and demography to determine how they run and disperse their advertisements on line.

So Singaporean bloggers, clap your hands and smile. Don't play play, got more money to eat Macdonald's, why not?
