Yes come back and live in a few hundred square feet apartment cost over $500k. Buy car also need to tender for COE. Then what more pay high price for car. Parking expensive as hell. Work life stress like cock - bully and pressure from superior, no protection from labour law, can get sack just like that. Then gahmen never build places to sit, bus stop no place to sit, shopping complex no bench to sit and rest. to sit down have to go to restaurant to pay to sit and eat. Then got GST. Have to worry about finding girlfriend with rich taste and materialistic mentality. Even if find also, then worry about marriage cost, book expensive hotel, buy expensive wedding gown, photo book, etc. After that spend more and more, to buy home. 30% of income go to housing loan. Then after that have to worry about which hospital best to give birth in. After that worry over children education. Save money for their tertiary education. Focus on them, so they don't go stray, so they study hard and make sure they go univeristy. If they don't succeed, make sure they don't commit suicide. THen after that, have to worry about retirement. Then medical cost, by then in 60s, insurance premium getting high, kena stroke or heart attack, need operation, medical cost super super high. Then stupid doctor recommend some dumb dumb anti high blood pressure pill, have to take for life, damn expensive. After retirement burn all CPF. Argue with children over who gets my home. Then after that become very old then get dementia, start forgetting who is who. Children send me to old folks. More expenses ! THen after that die...children have to spend more money on crematorium expenses.
Then my children will experience the same thing as me, as for my grandchildren too. But things will be far worse in future, with super high property prices, super high medicare, super traffic jams, high unemployment, so on and so forth.
On and on and on and on.....this is the circle of life....no break at all.
Come back? Is PM Lee hallucinating?
