COMMENTS ON THE VIDEO

I found the video very interesting
Because I am not Singaporean, it is hard for me to relate to this matter.


But,from what i can tell , most if my Singaporean friends would like to migrate to the US or England.

At this age , most of us only use the media to judge a country. Because of the pretty picture the US paints itself to be (Shows like "American Idol" makes American look very hip and fun), i find that we actually have very little knowledge about the country.

If a Chinese person goes to America, he may go there thinking that the people are outgoing and fun. But does he know that racism is a huge problem in the US? Not to mention the fact that going out alone at night or even in the day, is dangerous because of the crime rate?

The answer is most likely no.

I think that if a person wants to migrate, go ahead. But do lots of research and if you still want to go, go. More experience never harms but I'm sure that once there, you will find that Singapore is much safer and cleaner. Also, it is always better to be in your own country because you get to enjoy all the benefits that a citizen may have.

What the government is doing know is good. There's a website that keeps in touch with Singaporeans overseas. This keeps the Singaporeans overseas near because they know they are not forgotten. Social studies and history lessons are also great because it helps the younger generations discover the journey that Singapore has been and is still going though.

Personally, when i grow up i hope to return to England. I know its not exactly the nicest or safest place(not to mention the 17% GST)but i still feel that its my home.
