Living in Singapore

Today's Sunday Times ran some articles about rich Chinese splurging in Singapore. This got some people worried that one day, Singaporeans will be priced out of Singapore.

For a start, I have been hearing of Singapore Inc. for as long as I can remember. What is important is to follow the trend set by the govt. What is the latest trend? Service industry, & education. How to follow?

Re-train to enter the service industry - retail, F&B, tourism, become a taxi driver, tour bus driver, etc. etc. Those higher qualified, may want to consider a career as lecturer, industry trainer, & so on... a lot of private colleges setting up base in Singapore.

Own a piece of Singapore blue chips - Singtel, ST Group of companies, Sembcorp Gp of companies....those paying dividends. It is more rewarding than keeping money in the bank.
