@TheLaurenChen The only way for them to get out of poverty is either they wake up one day and pick themselves up (very unlikely if they keep getting hand-outs) or some country colonizes them.
@abigbluebird Keep filing complaints. Singapore needs to purge all the motherfkers who can’t be decent and follow rules. I would happily report my neighbour if they litter or do anything illegal. Call me petty idc at this point.
@CecaLoather Singapore has moved on. You should too. Who cares if they are apologetic or not honestly. We just have to rmb it. Forgive but never forget. Our relationship with Japan should not be decided by China even if we are majority Chinese. We are not China and will never be.
@Tinashadowstep@astaf_gorilla Advocating for the working locals is what I can agree with. Locals should always comes first. In the context of construction, the FW are getting enough and you can tell that by the job application rate. It’s oversubscribed
@Tinashadowstep@astaf_gorilla It doesn’t make sense to pay more when they are already waiting in line to work in Sg. If you were running a business you would disagree with min wage or whatever crap he is suggesting.
@theapropos@straits_times Yeah helping them won’t help if they don’t help themselves. Even if u help them, they are gonna start hoarding again. While I still hope that they can get help, Town council needs to firm up and ban/fine them. The volunteers can come help once the owner learns to break the habit
@straits_times Not only it is a fire hazard, it’s bloody ugly. Uncivilised. HDB is a fantastic housing system but the ugly potted plants and people hanging clothes anywhere they wish is simply disgusting. We want the Kampung spirit and not actually live like one.
@straits_times Time to not only eliminate hoarding inside but hoarding outside. The current rules are not enough. People still hang shit outside that takes up half the corridor walking space. There should be a blanket ban for putting anything outside other than one small shoe rack. That’s it.
@vogirovottega@straits_times@grok Idk I just googled it. But I am pretty sure these messy corridors exist. I used to live in HDB and my corridor was pretty bad. I wouldn’t mind living in HDB if not for all these uncivilised neighbours
@straits_times This is going to be more and more a problem as the average condo gets older in Sg. Honestly Sg property market should crash. Too many people maxing out loans to buy condos to flip for profit.
@rubyinthew41190@astaf_gorilla No I do believe the gov should intervene but to the benefit of the locals. Not foreigners. It’s precisely why I believe in controlled or even eliminate bringing in FW because they undercut locals in wages and it’s impossible for locals to compete especially for lower wage jobs
@astaf_gorilla@rubyinthew41190 You are telling me they are being exploited and they keep coming back. You are literally treating them like dumb fks who come to just get exploited. They are here even with the low pay of $500 because it makes financial sense for them to accept the job. Use your brains pls
@rubyinthew41190@astaf_gorilla You are arguing why bringing in foreigners who are willing to undercut locals is a bad idea. I absolutely agree. Pay hire wages and hire locals. If we are going to bring in foreigners, they will get paid according to what they are willing to accept which is relative to THEIR COL
Hey look another socialist retard 😂 We can agree to disagree but if you want to live in a socialist state, I think you are the one who needs to fuck off.
