I agree with creasoningskill group that Singaporeans are choosing to leave the country due to the stressful environment. To me, living in Singapore is stressed in a lot of aspects such as financial, studies and work. Living standard in Singapore is considered high and expenses go up as well. Working adults would be very stressed at work as they want to be the best at work and earned more than enough cash to support a luxurious living. Students also have a stressful life due to the target that is set for them, that is to excel in their studies and get a highly regconised certification. The Singapore education system is tensed and competitive as everyone wants to be the best. This makes it very stressful for the students as they need to beat many other students.

However, I disagree with the point that differences between a Singaporean and a foreigner staying in Singapore are almost close to non-existence. Though I admit that this problem do exist, but there are still obvious differences between the two. For example, Singaporeans would get priority in buying HDB (Housing Development Board) flats and Singaporean students' school fees are heavily subsidies compared to that of a foreigner studying in Singapore. Adding to it, the Singapore government is also trying to make changes to the current situation so that there will be more significant differences between a Singaporean and a foreigner living in Singapore.

I agree with the group that migrating is not an act of disloyalty as the person might just want to get more experiences by working overseas or to leave the stressful work environment for a period of time but his heart is still towards Singapore.
