What happens if I don't serve my NS?

...Regarding SG passport. No way. This place is not at meant for retiring...

i beg to differ. i know many people who like retiring in singapore. my parents are now singapore citizens and they cannot think of another place they'd rather be.

i'm not saying this is the perfect place - i don't think anywhere is, but it's been a suitable place for a good number of AARP members.

I think it mostly has to do with the size of one's savings.

It costs too damn much and prices for everything continue to rise. Not a good place to retire.

Hell... not such a good place to work anymore, between the rising living costs and the apparent hostility towards "foreign talent" on the part of the gahmen and the populace.

+1, and painfully so

it seems when the shits hits the fan, the first targets are generally the "foreigners". happens in australia too. when the shit hit the fan, finding a job with a name other than smith, jones, or moore was pretty impossible.

For some reason, blaming "foreigners" is a "legit" shortcut.

It is called scapegoating. It is a short cut and myopic way of thinking that prevents one from understanding the real issues and finding the solutions.

Having said that, it is no easy task for a group to accept new comers. It takes time to absorp and come to terms with these new societal influences. We are humans, not robots! It is a generational process. Most people are not that open-minded and flexible nor accepting of changes.
