This ex-Singaporean renounced his Singaporean citizenship, then got UK passport, then came back to Singapore and now working here as "foreign talent". So smart hor. So smug hor. Machiam international groberist.
"I suppose if you were a little old lady who worked in a provision store, then fair enough - stay in Singapore and let the government take care of you. I know the PAP aren't perfect, but they have done plenty of good things for older Singaporeans and compared to Greece, well, it's perhaps best to appreciate them for the good things the PAP has done! But if you are a wandering soul with Hakka blood, destined to be 'guest people' - then I guess the passport you hold is far less important, after all, as you move from country to country, city to city, with each foreign language you learn and embrace, your notion of nationality and identity changes and evolves. You become the sum of your experiences - and in my case, that's a mosaic of experiences around the world.But I guess that's still going to be hard to understand for Singaporeans who'd rather spend the rest of their lives in the same, small, familiar corner of Ang Mo Kio, Toa Payoh, Pasir Ris or Jurong. Oh well. To each his own. Maybe the auntie at the Ang Mo Kio 杂货店 can hire some Filipinos or Chinese foreign workers to run her 杂货店 whilst she takes it easy, retire and have some fun at last?"
