I have been away for more than 5 years, counting around 7, and do not have any seven-year itch to return whatsoever, so if I even go there, it is only to see my aging parents who do not want to move. Inside the trains, all you see are sullen faces, and people jostling each other around rudely. The customer service in stores is just plain bad, and I would venture to say that most of the luxury stores are empty, made only to cater to the rich and elites. Yet, Singaporeans still go through their daily lives without emotions of sadness??? No wonder that Singapore is ranked as the most emotionless country of people in the world by Gallup in a recent survey..I am happy that I did not ever return, and when I become a citizen elsewhere, I would get my parents out!

Best to just nuke the whole island off the face of the earth in a humanitarian effort to release the people from their misery. The most interesting thing about the place is that EVEN THE FOREIGNERS there (and I mean BOTH Asians AND Westerners) are effected by the toxic environment. Best to just erase the place and start over.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-18305808210078722852013-08-18T00:01:52.094-07:002013-08-18T00:01:52.094-07:00Perhaps the biggest news will be LKY final farewel...Perhaps the biggest news will be LKY final farewell on this earth.
