hey joe, the problem isn’t just struggling to earn enough to live in Singapore. The problem is also we have been installed with a mindset on what is needed to have the good life. So we focus on the wrong thing.

Sir, they know.

They are willing to take a risk. That is why, they are doing everything within their powers to hold you down even if you start to hate the country. The trick is to get back at you with the rice bowl - economical tie-down. If you ever notice, most of the time, the minority are struggling to earn enough to live in Singapore. There are structural barriers to stop people from becoming too comfortable and think too much on politics.

But this will change. They are becoming “too big in their heads”.
