stumbled a way connected between sceince park II and south buona vista rd, highlited the walk from NUS to S buona vista.
he met a security guard at the bus-stop, and they begun to talk. he's from setiawan, perak. came here and work six years ago. he strongly felt that singaporeans were a pity lot, work the whole day, earning just enough to feed himself/family. except for an hdb flat, no money left for anything else. and he wanted to go back to his home town for good, to sell vegi, or open a small shop.... anything, better than earning $1000/mth, for a 12-hr shift.
he said, working in singapore would not make one rich. he met so many singaporeans, both husband and wife work, with a maid at home looking after the kid(s)..... as if a family is like a child care center, with the maid as the child keeper, and the couple just doing the job of money transfer from one end of the system to another, with the government sucking up their left over bucks.
when teh couple get older, they would hope that their kid(s) could do better, without knowing that, the better the kid(S) do(es), the better the government does in sucking their fruits of success.....
