Now hold on a minute - what have you got against Malaysians who have chosen to work in Singapore? There are thousands of Malaysians who do work in Singapore. The government has not released official figures but it is estimated to be between 500,000 to 600,000 Malaysians working in Singapore - including approximately 150,000 who commute in from Johor. You have just insulted all the Malaysian diaspora in Singapore as well - I am appalled at what you've said. My dad is one of these Malaysians who have chosen to live in Singapore. You should be flattered that Malaysians like Singapore and think it's a nice place - rather than start building up walls, creating this 'us' vs 'them' mindset. Like, do you even have friends who are Malaysian? What have you got against Malaysians? A quick geography lesson here: Malaysia is a big country, it is not uncommon for someone from Sarawak to move to KL for university or from Pahang to Penang for a job. Most Malaysians don't feel this need, "If I was born in Ipoh, I must live and work in Ipoh all my life or else I am considered a quitter who has abandoned my Ipoh roots." No, they think nothing about taking up a job in KL or Singapore if the right opportunity comes along. Isabella Loh is the CEO of Singapore zoo - not that I condone her actions in the Halloween case - but let me ask you this: if there were any other management experts in Singapore with a keen understanding of how to run a zoo successfully, would Mandai zoo have chosen to employ a Malaysian over a more credible local Singaporean candidate? And someone who is a CEO of a major tourist attraction in Singapore and heading up a division within Shell Singapore - by most standards, she's a remarkably capable person who has achieved loads, far more than you ever will in this lifetime. And if she is a loser by your standards, then goodness me, what does that make you - by your standards? Are you the CEO of an international conglomerate owning several blue chip MNCs? Be careful who you call a loser - because people will start comparing you to this 'loser' and you don't wanna go down that road. I judge Ms Loh by what she has achieved, not by her nationality or where she was born.2 points

Embarrassing / Awkward Moments Related To Sex (Compiled)
eewee reacted to kennethhost for a topic
Tot housemate is not around and we moan so loud. After finished then only realized they are home1 point -
Wow... A lot of what you guys consider embarrassing is experienced with some frequency between my boyfriend and I, except for the sleeping part, farting in face, chlorine-smelling balls and diarrhea coming out. Strange to say.. I don't consider embarrassing what you guys count as such. If my boyfriend loses an erection, we laugh about it and try to get him going again. If one of us feels shit up the other's ass, we just ignore it and accept it as the crap you inevitably encounter in life. If I feel like peeing intensely during sex, I let my boyfriend know and he sighs, rolls his eyes, and says, "You may go. Come back quickly, or I may lose my erection." After which we continue having fun. I would say my most embarrassing moment was when I was too pent up from around two weeks without orgasming. I shagged and came within five minutes. The look on his face was, "YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME." Unfortunately, my spent dick said I wasn't. He grumbled and I helped him to finish himself off. Thankfully he doesn't bring that up much any longer...1 point

Difference Between Foreign Talent And Foreign Worker
Foreign Talent reacted to suckling_pig for a topic
That is exactly my point. If Singaporeans did less grumbling, and actually making their views known to their EMPLOYERS and GOVERNMENT, things would start to change. This thing about LKY giving his thoughts lends credence to my point. LKY does not compare the Ang Moh pay with locals, he just says that locals are overpaid. It is the present governments aim to keep businesses operating viably in Singapore. They do this by ensuring that the locals are paid in a low enough quantum so that the businesses can make an attractive profit margin. The difference between the Ang Moh pay and the local pay does not enter their agenda. If Singaporeans really feel strongly about it, then they should make the Government see the dissatisfaction with the DIFFERENCE and not the QUANTUM. "Stop grumbling at the coffeeshops, mobilise, campaign and write petitions, that might be more effective" - this is what I am saying.1 point -
Difference Between Foreign Talent And Foreign Worker

I recently had a conversation with a friend at the Singapore National Day celebration here in NYC. She had left NYC about 4 years ago after working here for almost 5 years in the real estate management industry due to personal reasons. She went back to Singapore and tried getting a job there for a while and here's what she shared with me. In Singapore, despite the fact that she had worked for a very renown real estate management company here in the US and had amazing experience leading several major projects, back home, she is not viewed as a foreign talent, just because she is Singaporean. As a result, she left for a new job opportunity in Hong Kong at the first opportunity where she has been since, and fly home every other weekend to be with family. This was an issue raised by a number of Singaporeans living here previously when they (Overseas Singapore Something) hosted a forum to get Singaporeans to move back home and work there. Many of the overseas Singaporeans felt that pay was challenge amongst many other things. I raised the gay flag as the reason why I didn't want to move back to Singapore amongst other professional reasons as well. Being a foreign talent I think takes more than salary to define. It is the ability to thrive in the host country's environment and succeed. It is up to the individual to be driven, be passionate about what they do, and hopefully be compensated financially. Hence, I always love this song- New York, New York, where it says "If I can make it here, I can make it anywhere..." To be successful as a talent, foreign or local, you need to deliver something that others don't that allows you to stand out. I.e. In my business, I see and meet creative people everyday, designers especially. To me, they all have met the basic criteria of good aesthetic sense. They have the degree or diploma to prove it. But what makes one more talented than the next, comes down to other things. The passion to succeed, to create something amazing, a particular skillset- i.e. bilingualism, and most of all work attitude.1 point -

We Easterners tend to depend on everybody knowing our own boundaries and being paiseh to overstep it. Do not be fooled, the Western, culture is based on the individual grabbing as much as he can until someone else opposes him and marks out the boundary. Forgive me if I over-generalise, but in my observation, this is the basic difference in the East Asian and Western attitudes to work relationships. Regarding the difference in pay, Singaporeans have only ourselves to blame. If we take such conditions quitely and be just resigned to that fate, then we deserve it. The truth is, Singaporeans have become risk / confrontation averse. If we feel the Ang Moh is making 3x the the pay and having the same skills or less, then march up to your HR manager or your boss and demand the Ang Moh's job and ask for 2x your pay instead ! After you have proven yourself in the job, then ask for the full 3x of it. Have guts, have balls, but we do not need anymore quiet suffering. Just do something about it.1 point -

Golf Joke: Your Hole Joe and his priest are playing in a golf match. Joe's game is perfect that day, and he is giving the priest a thorough drubbing. The priest can only sigh as he fills in the scorecard from the last hole. Sensing his pastor's unhappiness, Joe says to him, "Cheer up Father--just think, one of these days you will be giving the services at my funeral." The Priest looked at him and made a poor attempt at a grin while saying, "Yes, that may be true, but it will still be your hole."1 point -
