Re: PR application chance 2023

Slim. But not impossible. As you are married, if you have offspring it may help. Problem is Singapore is shedding IT people left & right. I'd be also looking at a Plan B. Was your education a twinned degree here in Asia or did you do your degree in the UK itself. Yours is a difficult one and it's pr...

Re: Will Darlie toothpaste be next?

It was still Darkie when I got here. a couple of years later it was changed to Darlie. The face was also changed to a shadow face instead of the minstrel face originally used. Most here don't even know what a minstrel was. Probably instigated by a leading edge 'woke' white liberal piece of sh*t.

Re: Frito-Lay source change

Or like the trick they pulled with Milo sachets over the past two months. I usually buy two of the 18 sachets bags of Milo 3-in-1 for my wife (I don't drink it) each trip to NTUC. Last month I grabbed a couple of bags and threw 'em in the cart and when I got home, exactly the same size bag but where...

Re: How to do saving & lower cost of living in Singapore?

I lived at the end of Jln Kayu and took a feeder bus to the YCK station and fromm there to Raffles place and the short hop to Int'l Plaza. Haven't owned a car since, albeit I did have a ca...

Re: "Proceed to upload documents" button is missing in ICA Website

Maybe, maybe not. Why? Who knows. We are not bloody mind readers here. You have to stop being deliberately obtuse when coming here with your hat in your hand asking opinions, you have to be forthright and not make us guess your facts before we give you any opinion. Having said that, and to add to wh...

Re: How to do saving & lower cost of living in Singapore?

Yeah, that was the year before the locals decided to see where their COE pain threshold was. They finally found it in Aug & Sep of 1994 when the COE hit $104,000 for two months running before backing off a bit. It took them 27 years to make another run at it and it petered out at around the same poi...

How long is a piece of string? Nobody here actually works for ICA and they keep their card VERY close to their collective chests.

Re: ChatGPT calculates your PR Probability!

Sadly in the Singapore context it is virtually worthless if it doesn't take into consideration race/ethnicity and age & fertility because we all know Singapore also uses immigration to bolster it's (in it's eyes) ideal demographic percentages and future NS needs. Good for discussion but please don't...
