For what I know about Australia (visitor's POV) the only thing I would probably be missing there was true winters... two things actually, ...and being so &#$%# far away from Europe. Space, nature, people, culture, safety, all ticks the boxes.Wd40 wrote:Shared on facebook by an Indian friend living in Melbourne:

That's what freedom of speech is all about. I haven't said anything non-factual about you as everything I said is drawn from my opinion so I'm not liable for any defamation.
And what? Australia, the US, the UK and Canada are gonna complain about what I said about them? Those countries are known to be bastions of comedy. And the extremist Muslims? Well, they're bonkers and Muslims in their right minds are disowning them anyway.
And before you go on, I need to remind you to check your privilege at the door because no matter how you think Singapore is lucky to have you, the ICA certainly won't. You're not the first PR aspirant to come here with that attitude and we certainly have dealt with worse.
You are actually pretty offensive in your comment, not sure if you realize this. I don't think most of the regulars here need anonymity to dare to express their opinions in unrestricted fashion. More over, if you would read this forum more frequently, you would also see that we could be as much open and incompassionate and "aggressive" towards each other and most of us knows each other in RL.midlet2013 wrote:I dont think that Freedom of speech can be used to justify this.

Anonymity gives people to say things, however true they mite be, only in a less compassionate and tactless manner.

Well if it's it's dark at night-time, and light during the day WTH are people meant to say? 'Oh no, really, really, trust me on this, you're right, it really can be light at night too, especially if you close your eyes and wish really really hard. It's ok, you just have to believe, and it WILL be so'?midlet2013 wrote:I never understand why people even post question about their PR chances, particularly, Indians. All they hear is they have a slim chance and it actually makes them feeling worse than what they were feeling to begin with.

The regulars, and most of those contributing to such a worn-out topic can give informed opinion, and do not frequent here to help others 'feel good' about their lives and prospects. This forum is not some 'Comfort Corner' in the face of the reality, and at times it presents stark but realistic facts.
Some people who have little chance, post and ask what chance they have, because despite pretty much knowing, they have a wild-card hope that someone might pull a rabbit from the hat for them. Well, guess how they usually respond when they're told the rabbit isn't coming out to play today in precisely the way they hoped for: Just like you did really.

Besides, it is damn arrogant in my very humble opinion to come as a newbie to an open Internet forum, ask for help and when the responses are not so favorable, start to jump at people and tell them what they should do in this forum and what they should not do.

QED
PNGMK wrote:I've noticed my FT Indian neighbors have moved out. They were a curious lot - they were masquerading as Singaporeans, (no seriously - he told me he was "Singaporean" - I mentioned it to the Chinese Singaporean chairman of the MC who laughed and corrected me) - she might have been the PR but he was in banking IT here on some sort of pass.
The moral of the story? There's no such thing as a permanent Indian resident.
