The toilet papers were given over the last 5 years before the government woke up from deep slumber. Your mate was late. Too bad.

But they are staying there in the hope of finding a permanent job/for vacation or?
And by the way, I heard expenses in Melb is quite high! Even higher than Singapore? Any way of cutting down on expenses?

It's like you go to uni for 2-3 hours a day and if you are lucky enough, you might only have 3 days of school. The only time you will be worried/stress is when exams or assignments are due (haha!). Apart from that, most of your time are spend with friends, lazing around at home, chilling at the cafe and travelling.
Over the weekends, you can hop onto Jetstar or Virgin Blue, and realise you are in Sydney (which is another beautiful state especially if you prefer city life).
You will be amazed with the number of Asians there (esp in UMelb and Monash), so don't worry about that! Plus, you will meet people from all over the world and seeing how rich those PRC are (compared to the ones we see in Sg) and how they spent their money.
So, I would highly recommend you to go overseas if you have the opportunity. Not only to see the world, but also experience things which you can never experience in Singapore.
Best of luck!  |

How are Singaporeans losing out to foreigners when every single job application is SG/PR only? There's something missing regarding hatred of foreign workers.
That is why Australia uni or not, Singaporeans will always get the jobs even when it is not economical or logical to do so, but yet, they complain and moan moan moan. I would love if Malaysia opened up a Special Region, under it's own governance which allowed MNCs to invest and made the area as safe as Singapore to attract all foreign talents, then Singapore will see the benefits on having FTs..

The problem here is simple. The government has been handing out PR's and citizenships without adhering to any strict guidelines in order to boost the population. The govt justifies their actions as necessary as the birthrate in sg is far too low. I believe singaporeans are not against FT. But rather the issue is whether these FT's are indeed adding value to our society. For example, the amount of mainland chinese cooking in our kopitiams is astounding and what is more amazing is that most have PR's or even citizenship and the media have reported that many intend to return to their homeland when they have enough money to retire. Do we really need them, when these jobs could have been taken up by singaporeans? Contrast this to workers party taiwanese born corporate lawyer chen show mao. It is clear he adds value to singapore through his credentials and look at how receptive the public has been to him.
