I like Singapore.

I lived there for about 9 months, very enjoyable experience. Lots of very nice people, good public transportation (if a bit crowded at times), great food, and ordnung. The cost of living was pretty high (had to pay $800 USD/month to rent a single room in a HDB flat), but the location was phenomenal. I'd still like to go back one day.

You wretched chinese cannot even dominate the economy of your own country Singapore, Taiwan or China.What makes you think you contribute anything to Malaysia ?

Since many Chinese are too dumb to figure it out, let me spell it out for you: Malaysian economy is generated by state owned corporations ; and to a lesser degree by foreign multinationals. The same goes for Singapore, Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Taiwan etc etc etc

The economy of all nations are generated by their respective governments.

Don’t even bother telling me the richest Malaysians are Chinese. Malay billionaires like Syed Mokhtar, Daim Zainuddin and SM Nasimuddin are not listed by Forbes simply because their assets are privately held.

It goes to show that those low profile Malay tycoons are so awash in cash that they did not need to raise more money from the stock market but the most important point is : the wealth of all rich Malaysians are still nothing compared to state controlled assets. Don’t ever forget that.

I don’t know if all Malays really hate the Chinese but I can tell you this much: You miserable Chinese are only burdensome trash . Your existence in Malaysia only serve to add the number of people the govt has to subsidise. If it isn’t for the Chinese, Malaysia would already be a first world economy.

It is not widespread. I would say about a few hundred people at most think this way, but they are very vocal and committed to propagandising on social media which is highly influential for the youth. If you talk to 10, 20 random people, they have no idea it even exists.

It is mostly a few leading intellectuals who push this Chinese privilege thing. As an example, the Alfiaan Saat guy is a butthurt Malay from Raffles Institution (this piece of shit's school>>76365287, very elite, like Eton), had a once promising career as a poet, but became something like what Ta-Nehisi Coates is to the American blacks. Despite the fact he is an open homosexual, most Malay (who are Muslim) still support him because of his past literary accomplishment. The other big names are Kirsten Han (you see her in one of the screenshots you posted) and this militant Indian lady, Sangeetha, who is the one who brought the whole Chinese privillege narrative here.

If it cheers you up, here is our Law Minister (also Indian) threatening to rape her into oblivion for calling him a racist against Muslims and being an Uncle Tom. She was forced to retract and give a grovelling apology.

>If it cheers you up, here is our Law Minister (also Indian) threatening to rape her into oblivion for calling him a racist against Muslims and being an Uncle Tom. She was forced to retract and give a grovelling apology.
What a scumbag. I hope a real man puts him into his place.
>>
>>76365823
Not that it matters anyways. People in RI are usually rich and smart enough to migrate overseas and still succeed if shit hits the storm here. People like Saat are a dime a dozen to be honest, most here like to keep a low profile, smart enough to avoid stirring up trouble in the detriment of oneself.

To be honest, I never really knew what's it like to be middle class.

They must really vocal then, since there's a wikipedia page on Chinese privilege.

ROK has a commie president and feminists run the country. In Taiwan the same happened, now they have a soft liberal woman who legalised homosexuality. This is what happens when countries liberalize. Under military dictatorships, Korea and Taiwan were successful, now they are only going downhill.

Liberalisation leads to progressive ideas and the downfall of society. We can see this in action in the West. Everyone is losing their appetite for it, support for the PAP has been going up rather than down despite their general mismanagement in the last few years

What stopping the Chinese from saying that they're just superior? In SEA, even as a minority they are the most successful race and control most of the economies.

>What stopping the Chinese from saying that they're just superior?

What do you mean, "saying"? If you mean the Chinese government pushing other Asian governments around, they're way ahead of you.

If you mean as individuals, sure they do to the extent that it's safe. A lot like whites in Africa and Latin America.
>>
>>76367935
Too much wealth and exposure to Western ideas. In real China, anyone with this mentality would be eaten and spat out. This is the reason why the Muslims are raping the West and China is raping everyone else. When you come from a place where everyday you must fight for survival, you have no time for nonsense.

I kind of know what you mean. I'm a witto piggu in Korea and honestly it's mentally very stressful living around East Asians.

It's like you always feel like everyone around you is constantly seeking advantage and probing for weakness which is of course true. I think it's hard for Westerners to adjust to living in this kind of society, which is why non-elite Westerners in Asia end up collapsing under the stress and hostility which is where the white trash loser meme comes from.

On the international level in trade and geopolitics, this is also true. Westerners/whites are at a disadvantage when competing with Asians besides in warfare as can easily be seen when it comes to the results of Chinese WTO accession, copyright theft, and even negotiations with China to try and force Korean denuclearization. Trying to compete or deal with Asians without using the one skill that we are undoubtedly better at is basically competing with one hand tied behind one's back.

tl;dr Eight Nation Army soon. It's inevitable because the only alternative is submission to Chinese power which is practically a fate worse than death.

And the window for military action is rapidly closing, because as poor as the Chinese are at warfare, eventually their economic strength will translate into military supremacy.
>>
>>76368013
I meant the ethnic Chinese in Singapore, as a ABC we kinda face similar situations due to our academic superiority over other minorities here. But we had to be politically correct about it because we have a left-dominant society. Singapore as a ethnic-Chinese dominated society shouldn't be having this issue on "privilege".

Largely we don't. Since the universities, civil service and media are still controlled by the government, which is socially conservative, these Chinese privilege ideas have zero traction in our institutions, whereas they dominate all three in the US.

The danger is if there is political liberalisation, similar to what happened in Korea or Taiwan, which would mean the government loses control of these and the intelligentsia (the press, academics) will be able to impose their postmodernist ideology on the great mass of society, as they are doing in the West. And then you will have white guilt in abundance.

Singapore young people are very much like Asian Americans in terms of exposure to Western ideas. The ground is ripe for SJWery to flourish if political control is relinquished to liberals and progressives. That is why there can be no free elections, no free press, no means by which they can be allowed to establish a foothold.

When I was younger I wanted to have more freedom in the country. Now I realise, that this freedom will only bring disaster.

>>76364080
The irony is that even with all of these advantages, so many Chinese-Singaporeans would still prefer to live in Malaysia for a chance of even partially escaping the pressure of dealing with their own kind, as do virtually all East Asians except maybe the Japanese.

This by the way is the main reason why East Asians think that whites who move to their countries are insane. They know how much easier and more relaxed life is away from their own kind, so presume that any white who chooses to live among them with all that entails must not be in his right mind.

People don't pay enough attention to the one in the middle. It could very well happen, that the government itself loses the will to enforce the necessary policies and succumbs to self-hate, white guilt and liberal delusions.

In the 1970s we turned guns on fleeing South Vietnamese refugees and towed them back out to sea to die. Nowadays, I see friends who work in the government posting #refugeeswelcomehere feeelgood crap about the Australian boat people, Euro Syrian/nigger refugees, and Rohingyas on Facebook.

Btw I'm sure you've already researched it but Singapore has a list of approved universities for law graduates, where if you read a degree at one and get a green card (you get one after 6 months of working there iirc) you can be admitted to the Singapoor bar, so if you still want to make your way over, that's another route.

There's just a total absence of any real sense of social solidarity in most East Asian nations. There's a sort of crude tribalism that reveals itself when conflict with outsiders erupts, but the notion of sacrificing your own interests for ANYONE is very weak.

A good example of this is the South Korean attitude towards Chinese-Koreans and North Koreans.

Certainly, it's understandable that South Koreans aren't thrilled at the prospect of being totally overwhelmed with a flood of impoverished people, but the sheer venom, hatred and lack of concern the average South Korean shows for even their fellow (North) Koreans suffering under communist rule is truly incredible. For most South Koreans, North Koreans only matter to the extent that the South Korean government can get their hands on their nuclear weapons and minerals and low-cost labor so that they can gain indirectly a material advantage personally from them. Besides that they might as well not exist at all.

I assume that Japan's an exception to that? I know China is dog-eat-dog, but Japanese solidarity in the face of disasters such as the Osaka earthquake or the Fukushima disaster has been repeatedly remarked upon.

Would have thought South Korea is at least better than China though.
>>
>>76369627
I get that the sense of social cohesion and empathy is lower in SE Asia. (And that's a sad thing to hear.)

But wouldn't it be in the interests of the absolute majority of the population to have more free time, better benefits for their work?

The labor movement in the West that led to better working conditions wasn't charity either. It was about defending your interests against exploitative practices.

To be honest, I really don't like the MD/JD system US has. Too much time and money needed. Literally profession is largely locked to the rich, don't think borrowing can cover full course. Not like the MBBS/LL.B. Undergrad programme we have here which cuts down the overall time by 3 years.

I don't refer to the North Korean government, I refer to the North Korean people themselves. The newly-elected president is a leftist who has a chequered past of insulting North Korean defectors in South Korea and carrying water for the North Korean government, as does his party.

I've heard that conformity and respect towards your elders are the cornerstone of Japanese (and, to some extent, Korean/Chinese) etiquette? So how can they be so egoistic at the same time?

Also, South Koreans hating North Koreans is understandable. It's like Israel and Palestine, they have zero reason to embrace each other.

In Singapore or globally? In Singapore I know lawyers for certain areas of the law (especially family law) are sorely needed because all the graduates go into corporate law or mergers and acquisitions. I doubt they need much English translation services due to everyone being bi-lingual at a minimum in their native tongues and English.

Globally, lawyers are in demand but only TOP-TIER lawyers as the middling market is over-saturated while English translation is always in demand.
>>
>>76369958
Just like Germany and Israel.
Sound familiar?

>are colleges in singapore as affordable as they seem or are there hidden fees or something?

Singaporean students get heavy subsidises, they only pay maybe at most 20,000 USD for a four year course. Without subsidies, you would need to pay around 50,000 USD before even considering accommodation and food, which is expensive. I think foreign students are eligible for the subsidies if you agree to work for the government (as a doctor or such) for several years after graduating, at lower than market rate of course.

> also what degrees are more in demand law or english/tanslation?

Market is currently bad for both. Law is difficult for foreign students to get in, whereas if you do English, the only job which is in guaranteed supply is teachers, where again they prefer locals.

Translation is not in big demand here unless its Chinese or a language from a neighboring country where a lot of business (e.g. Indonesian)
>>
>>76369898

Well, the LLB programme is actually a 4 year programme in the UK if you want to practice law there, as you need to take the LPC or Barrister course (forget what it's called) the year after you graduate to become a solicitor or a barrister and afterwards you need to spend two years on a training contract to actually be a full-fledged lawyer. Americans conversely study an undergrad degree (usually four years) + another 3 years of law school and they can practice law right away after being admitted to the bar, so it's really only one year's difference. Law school in the US is also a bit different, it's more vocationally-oriented than academic.

That said, cost is one of the main reasons why I'm going to a UK school. Harvard Law school is $60,000/year in tuition alone and the others Ivy's aren't much better, so UCL is a much, much better price point for an equally good legal education (both jurisdictions are common law so there's a good deal of reciprocity between the US and the UK, and between the UK and Aus/Singapore/Malaysia/elsewhere for that matter).
>>
>>76370098

How's the labor market in general in Singapore? Is it true that you have almost full employment?
>>
>>76370117
>harvard law school
You mean a lottery right? Literally so many perfect GPA-ers applying that it becomes a fucking crapshoot. I did the research for Harvard Med School, it's really messed up. UCL's a slightly more forgiving ground to fight. Although I would say that Cambridge is easier to contest than Harvard seeing that they have a larger seating overall than Harvard. I went for Aus in the end anyways, it's nearer and cheaper to Sg, where I still have family.
>>
>>76370183
Yes.
>>
>>76370183

Its a trick. Because so much labour is imported, if a sector is performing poorly, they simply lay off the foreign workers, effectively booting them out of the country since it is too expensive to live here while unemployed. Lower skilled labourers in construction get their Employment Passes (their right to stay in Singapore) revoked and have to leave the country.

This is why Singapore appears to be at full employment all the time. If you consider the local workforce unemployment rates are around 2-3%.

Ah, I get it. That's why I wouldn't consider living in Singapore for a long time. Even if I bought property there, since there's not even basic welfare, I couldn't stay if I became unemployed for some reason.

BPTC

but if you are capable enough it's easier to just get a practicing license from whatever jurisdiction that is more suitable to you and just take whatever test required to allow you to practice there.

>>76370383
science guy eh? if you are up for it you might want to consider taking up law so you can get into being a trademark/patent attorney, it's a nice career path to take and having a science-related degree is practically required to perform well.

Its pretty shit. What you are seeing is propaganda for the purpose of luring rich suckers here. In reality there are only a handful of good and expensive clubs for richfags and tourists and fuck all for everyone else since no one has time (too busy working) and Singaporeans are not a naturally partying type.

We don't even have the culture in Korea or Japan when they go drinking heavily after work, in fact alcohol consumption is generally discouraged officially and frowned upon socially

Historically speaking, the overseas Chinese are the Jews of Asia. High productivity, high wealth accumulation, saturation of top-level business positions by Chinese, etc., except in contemporary history they've been less involved and reduced to a token political party attached at the hip to the UMNOs in the Barisan National (in Malaysia) or just a business force (in Indonesia). Also pogroms and stuff, look up 'the act of killing'.

Not very much. Alcohol's unpopularity here is because it is expensive and taxed heavily (not out of an attempt to discourage it, they just like the extra money), there are few places to drink. The typical poorfag watering hole is basically a coffee shop, wherein the tables are vinyl and the lights are bright and fluorescent, not exactly comfy like a pub or the most conducive of places. The government propagandises against degenerate and irresponsible behaviours in general, of which drinking is only one. They crack down much harder on tobacco and drugs etc.

Young Muslims of both sexes are traditionally massive alcoholics and party animals until they hit their late 20s and start raising families, then they mysteriously become pious and start dressing modestly and posting hadiths and shit on the facebook. They don't have much of a damping effect on alcohol consumption.

>>76370616

I personally work 60 hours per week on average, but I am in a high stress job. Some work longer, but the vast majority work less, I'd say the average is 45-50 hours.

My own hobbies are shitposting. Common hobbies of people my age group are vidya gaming, karaoke, scuba diving, various sports and exercise, watching Korean TV, playing music, but very few have time for them and only do these rarely.

>If I were a lawyer in Hong Kong I'd be scared shitless given how the mainlanders have been acting these days.

nah, I got my degree from the UK, recently graduated my LPC but I am currently working in a patent attorney firm in Shanghai while also trying to get a practicing license there. As I didn't get my qualifications in HK it's very tough for me trying to get into HK's practicing course.

IMO I think the merging of the 2 legal jurisdiction is unlikely to happen due to our position as the only city in China where financial freedom exists on par with most other international cities in the world.

Hong Kong's legal industry is in danger of being replaced not because of the jurisdiction issue but more about the fact that more and more chinese lawyers are taking advantage of HK's financial position and is starting to take up practice in HK as well as China/UK/US, in 10 something years fresh legal professionals entering the industry will be unable to compete with the chinese lawyers.
