History Of Singapore (1867 - 1965)

Majulah Singapura!

But the practice of slavery is common. They call them "maids" or helpers, young women who work 15 hour days 365 days a year. They sleep under the table in the kitchen--no own room or bed. The first 11 months salary is kept by the agency who recruits them in Indonesia or Phillipines, then they get around $250 dollars a MONTH!!!, then sent home after 13 more months. NO TELEPHONE, NO FRIENDS, NO TIME OFF, and every "owner' talks about the "stupid maids, very bad, dirty, dishonest..."

[pengheng]

@bupkes Slavery & maids are 2 different things. You seem confused. Where did you get the idea that maids sleep under the table, no room or bed. Maids have their own bedroom to themselves. They have handphones, they have friends, they are allowed to have every sunday off, lots of maids dance at orchard Ion every week. I bet you're not Singaporean if you think what you've said is true.

@bupkes you certainly need to get your facts right before slamming people. What you've seen is only a rare 2-3 cases. I have a maid, my neighbours and many others have too, and we usually allocate our maids a room in the household so they can have their own space. And it isn't called SLAVERY. They don't earn so little $, if you don't know, go read the news!

FYI .. Singapore is the ONLY country in the world that became independence AGAINST its own will.

So today, like never before, we're kissing everyone's ass in the hope that they sent "Talents" and "investments" to this little Island.

No doubt, its great to do business here. But how abt living ? If you don't mind how the chickens live in their coopes, you'll survive. Forget large open spaces, quite peacefull strolls, etc.

[p666666]

@lieberat r u sure there are no open spaces? quiet peaceful strolls? places for fun, enjoyment, entertainment? think about it.

[lieberat]

@p666666

Very sure, have you lived outside of singapore ? This is the thing, if you haven;t experienced what, open spaces, with Nature, then I don't think you know what I mean. If you know any, pls by all means share.

[PenaltyKillah]

What a coincidence. 1867 is the year of independence for Canada :)

[KHAIRUL21021989]

stop blaming others for their mistake good enough that the British was here to teach our ppl how to fight with weapons so stop blaming others.... stop and think did our late family members did a thing about the war... even if they did we were not one with each other at that time, if we were united as one at that time we might have a chance to fight them off rather than just sit at home in fear.....

[yuseng941]

I think Japan should said a very big sorry to all the world war 2 victim before we all can forgive Japan. So many innocent were killed leh.

[gasman26]

Though i heard that Singaporean is arrogant, but I salute you!!! Singapore is a model for Malaysia...okie many negative comments will come along now...

[HabboMafiaRpg]

@gasman26 Singapore and malaysia ain't the same you asshole. we only combined those time. But then we had a problem after the war and we separated.

[yuseng941]

Reason for Singapore to achieve independence from British.

1) British surrender to the Japanese

2) It make us suffered alot

3) Our lives is in a dark during war

4) The don't deserve it

5) Fail to protect us

6) Their military forces are lazy

7) They don't have our heart

8) They are irresponsible

[happygolucky93]

Furthermore, British, they bully poor, weak, old ppl in Singapore. They do not know how to deal with Singapore old time gangster during that time, on drugs and many more as they do not know th way of Chinese Gangster works. and they are corrupted!!

[HabboMafiaRpg]

@yuseng941 You saying they are irresponsible? They still helped us. And for you information, They had 2 wars 1 british vs another country which I don't know another 1 is british vs japs helping us, See how busy they were? And they have not much soldier, It was the 19th century not 21st.

[yuseng941]

British should go eat shit lol. Never protect us still dare to bull shit say what don't let us independence. The British never think that if they surrender to Japan, the people here will get very angry. Since the British already leave us to bleed and die then why they still come back when the Japan surrender. How can British do this thing to us. SO CRUEL!!!!!!!!!

[egibbons21]

My Uncle died trying to defend Singapore!

The mistakes where the political! The bravery of the Brirish troops where never in question nor should they be get your facts right before you mud sling!!!!

[HabboMafiaRpg]

@yuseng941 Yea? You'll regret one day of saying that. In fact i'm a singaporean and I don't like you insulting british, They helped us back in those time. If you liked to insult them Why don't you help us?

[aa00225]

2:23 Majulah Malaysia/ Onward Malaysia....yeah..we did better...we enjoy more freedom and we progress too. We do not need senior minister or mentor minister...LOL

[cruisser217]

Singapore is named the 4th best country in the world,among 127 ranked countries, to do business in. Forbes Asia financial magazine saw SG leapfrogging UK, Sweden, Ireland n Finland. SG kept its regional top position as e economy w e best business conditions in the Asia-Pacific. NZ was 5th, Aus 8th, HK9th.

SG attracts entrepreneurs, investors n workers. Business-friendly economies like SG, are in a better position to rebound from the global economic downturn.

[pre2et]
