RE: TEH QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER THE LAZY DOG- Singaporeans who quit the country and migrate overseas are disloyal


First of all, I agree with your group that Singaporeans migrating to other countries is due the stress level in our society. No matter in schools or workplaces, tensed competition is created. I feel that this might be a side effect from Singapore moving too fast in the past few years, ending up Singapore has few areas to be continually developed, thus our people will be all concentrated in one area, fighting with one another to get the same post/opportunity.

I also appreciate your point that such causes can lead to high sucide rates in Singapore, and it would be even saddening for our Singapore population.

However, for your point on "Another factor why Singaporeans choose to migrate to other countries might be because they think Singapore is too boring for them as there are limited places to go to", I have some disagreements on that. I believe that having fewer sightful areas in Singapore is not the factor for Singaporeans to be migrating to other countries. This is because Singaporeans could actually go for an overseas holiday easily with their financial ability, not necessarily need to resort to migrating for other countries for the sake of sightful scenery. Perhaps, I would say that the ambience of whole Singapore society is too dull, and forcing our people to change their living environment.

To further add on, I share the same sentimentals with your group that Singapore migrating should not be regarded as disloyal totally. I believe there is a certain level of freedom for these people to practise their wants and don'ts, furthermore, forcing them to stay in a place which serves no meaning to them, they might not be willing to contribute significantly for our society too, so perhaps, in exchange, we invite those foreign talents who are so eager to come to Singapore and fight with us.

Moreover, I feel that this issue can be highlighting to us that our people may not have their roots placed deeply in their hometown. This may have to do with the education system we used to have now, perhaps too much concentration has been given to specialising skills and acquiring knowledge, but too little has been spent to educate our students to be patriotic. Thus, this could be an area for Singapore to look into if we wish to have more future local talents contributing to our own economy.

All in all, I suggest that Singapore has to do more to make our local people feel that they are wanted in their homeland, otherwise, the number of people migrating to overseas may increase significantly with even more reasons.
