>highly capitalist economy, city full of skyscrapers

Can somebody explain this shit to me? I'm not even trolling, but I've always associated nationalisation with socialist, labour focused policies. In the UK it's the left-wing parties like Labour and the unions that want to nationalise and hate despite privatisation, whilst freeing up the market is a right-wing policy associated with capitalism, business-friendliness and entrepreneurship.

So why does the image of the city of Singapore reflect massive capitalism if everything is nationalised? The two aren't linked after all?

They're not owned by the government. These are mostly private entities, which the government buys shares in using sovereign funds.

We're also a popular springboard into Asian markets, similar to Hong Kong (because of our passports and English speaking majority).

We're also a tax haven, so corporations love to park their money here. Sometimes they like it so much they build their own sky scraper.

The examples of Singapore and Hong Kong show that there is no one economic system that is better than all the others. A state controlled economic system can be just as successful as a market system if the people in charge are highly adept at their jobs and technocratic. This is why countries like China, South Korea and Japan have gotten rich. Not by free market policies but state direction.

Privatizing railroads is just fucking stupid and pointless. Industries with network advantages cannot really be privatized because they are natural monopolies.

Well, unlike you we are smart, so we limit the number of white people in our country and put up high visa restrictions. We make sure Chinese workers get priority for good jobs and not foreigners (unlike Singapore where all the top jobs go to Western expats, while singapooreans get back office and janitorial work).

Even chinese women these days are proud of being chinese and do not lust over white men, like they did when china was much poorer.

http://wagingnonviolence.org/feature/the-sorry-state-of-unions-in-singapore/

This is really all you need to know. Singapore's economic system is similar to the fascist system of Mussolini. Unions don't have absurd power like in the US, neither in government nor in private sector.

There's no added bonus that a free market has if your culture highly values competitiveness and efficiency. The bonus of the free market is that competitiveness and efficiency are built-in, and required, but the culture of Singapore and the lack of unions essentially allows for the same amount of competition and efficiency.

Of course, the US doesn't really have a free market because of unions in the private sector and the public sector. And many Americans simply don't have a desire to make more money if it means hard work.

Let's say Singapore didn't have majority ownership over its airlines. What would be different? Probably not much. The same investors would be investing, except some would take the place of the government's majority ownership. The competition would still be there, because of shareholders deciding CEO and etc.

unfortunately even korea is becoming stupid atm. in 2006 there were 35k muslims. today there are 150k. the numbers are rising in japan too.

as soon as a country becomes prosperous it becomes ruled by fucking idiots because prosperity has the effect of masking problems, or making bad people look not bad because of technological solutions to their sins. e.g. the murder rate in america has dropped because we treat gunshot wounds better. we don't have FEWER people who would kill, but we have fewer murderers. it's an important distinction.

oil price might NOT pick up. just something to think about. japan has invested in hydrogen, IF indonesia grows which is doubtful they will also be using hydrogen. china is relaly the only one growing right now but they won't suddenly displace the US and EU market in terms of volume or cashflow because of their monetary policies and coal.

>Can somebody explain this shit to me? I'm not even trolling, but I've always associated nationalisation with socialist, labour focused policies.
Your confusion is understandable. Right and left wing are not as clear cut as anyone likes to think.

Generally, capitalism is seen as right wing while socialism is left wing. On the other hand, nationalism is considered right wing and globalization/internationalism is left wing. People constantly accuse opponents of "not being xxx" like we're seeing in america right now. Donald trump is a good example since he's nationalistic for his people but has some socialized ideas on healthcare or taxes. People think a person who is right wing must have all typical right wing policies but this is obviously not true. You see globalists who promote capitalism and claim to be conservative but they're holding 2 opposite ends of the spectrum.

In reality, the economic spectrum is separate and distinct from the social and national one. This is why hitler was always accused of being right wing when he was nationalistic for germany, but he was also an environmentalist, vegetarian, feminist. It's not unusual for people to have different ideas on different topics.

I'm aware. white trash aren't traditional either, and rich white liberals imagine themselves to be the "true" inheritors of the european tradition. they're so truly european that even if the country is full of niggers and muslims, people get raped and shot in the streets, that they're so european that it's all okay...

ffs, just be careful. the mainland isn't nearly as bad as you think, you've just grown up in a bubble. keep the muslims and niggers out. liberal whites would rather associate with niggers and muslims than poor whites just because of the guilt by association they feel around poor whites.

it'll tear the chinese nation apart.

There are other factors not covered in college economic courses.

The obvious: Singapore has an absolutely massive harbor. Its geographic location and huge harbor make it an ideal location for trade.

What no one who doesn't have tenure will say publicly: Singapore is mostly ethnically homogenous and they belong to a race capable of great achievements. Singapore could not exist in Subsaharan Africa nor could it exist in countries which are not ethnically homogenous - at least not for long.

>>74287502
Yes. Only the top students got internships at Exxon, Shell, BP etc. Most people had to find stuff in other industries. Finance is a top route at Imperial. Your gf will have to look outside of big oil.

>>74287502
it's a little bleak

business creation in the west is at an all time low because they're demanding businesses find a way to make a nigger the CEO. millions of people over hundreds of years couldn't teach niggers to read, and now they're demanding that our economic engine find a way to make one CEO or face regulation.

we don't care if a chink comes from china or anywhere else, it has been proven that mainland chinese ARE that terrible. you cannot compare the mainland chinese to white trash - they are completely different. we can't "keep the muslims out" because we literally invaded this place, it was originally theirs, we actually statistcally outbred them.

nobody in singapore except old chinese men feel any sort of allegiance with the mainland. china is a slimy, unscrupulous, shallow, dishonest and and self-centered spoilt brat; exactly what chinese parents should teach their children to NOT become.

0% refugees here.

>>74288295
that's what liberals here say about conservatives. a nigger can murder an entire family and rape the bodies but is "reformable" and a victim of circumstance, but CONSERVATIVE news posts will say that white trash deserve to die (notice that white trash don't actually commit crimes. they're just dumb) but they deserve to die.

I SEE the kind of rhetoric you speak. and I'm TELLING you you're a liberal and you don't even realize it yet.

stop while you're ahead. china is bad, but it's not THAT bad. it's better than any major US city. one more generation and they'll be like you.

when you oppose your own ethnic group, politically your leaders will seek allies in subhumans. it happens in EVERY country. it's happening in fucking KOREA.

What chances are there of getting a job in Singapore with a standard Biology degree?
>come here, do a lot of networking and connections and circlejerking, get job
How do you just "got there"? I'd have guessed you need a job first before you could go in to Singapore? Unless you mean on on the 1-month no-visa visit and pretend you're holidaying.

I'd love to move there but I see no entry and have no idea how to.

I know a friend who basically came in on a tourist visa and found a job. An australian. Then your employer applies for a work permit for you. Hopefully you put a ring on your bitch and the paper work is done fast. Chances are it will be, the only countries that have a problem getting a visa for their spouses are indonesia, malaysia, vietnam, china and so on.

You don't even have to do networking or circle jerking, just apply for jobs and do it dilligently, you probably will get something, anything (even if only temporary).

they're emulating japan actually. not sure what makes you think is particularly western about their model of 財閥, I mean, I'm sorry, centrally planned finance export model

I'm calling you a liberal because the liberal model establishes intractable and arbitrary differences within a racial group in order to vault the power of the liberal side. the chinese are slowly repairing their morals. the racial unit is more important than whatever arbitrary morals have been shoved down your throat. but you are arrogant and you assume that EVERY little detail about your moral code is perfect and you take great pride in that. your morals aren't perfect, your pride is unfounded. CIVILIZATION builds comprehensive morals, not individuals. the state of singapore is not permanent. malays, indians, niggers, will all tear it apart if your morals aren't centered around your ethnicity.

> just apply for jobs and do it dilligently, you probably will get something, anything (even if only temporary).

Won't they look at a foreign applicant and presume it's far too much hassle applying for work visas and stuff for them when they could just give it to a citizen? I guessed this would rule out all jobs (particularly temporary or standard retail jobs) except skilled career-type jobs for companies and industries and such that are specifically trying to bring in "talent"?

I'm a different guy from the one with the Sing gf, btw.

Unfortunately (for us), because of the retarded state run retirement plan and the military reservist obligations on males, discrimination against locals isn't uncommon.

It is often cheaper to hire a foreigner, even if you have to pay levys, than it is to hire a local (since employers have to contribute a % to their "retirement" fund as well). In addition, foreigners don't have much of a choice and probably won't quit their job. Plus, any amount that they declare to be for your "lodging" can be paid back to the company under the table. So a law that has an income floor of 3000, would really only pay about 2000. But you'll keep quiet because you want your job.

You may not be able to find your dream job immediately but you -will- find a job so that you can apply for a visa or PR (which are issued quite readily).

can't believe I'm helping to cuck my own country. At least I can rest easy knowing it isn't a god damned PRC or a muhammed.

Because there's more than one way to skin a cat, all methods that work on paper are entirely feasible and workable, the crucial point is how DIFFICULT they are to work on a large enough scale.

Capitalism works best because everyones innate greed and selfishness is effectively harnessed at every level, the better you perform in an ideal scenario the more you are rewarded for your work, therefore everyone has a reason to continuously improve themselves in order to cut for themselves a bigger piece of the pie.

what % of foreigners have their assets domiciled in singapore for tax purposes? I'm assuming it's a minority, thus they don't benefit from your tax policy. it makes sense that someone need not serve if they don't benefit from your taxes

it's also cheaper for the company, but the individual doesn't recieve housing benefit, right?

anyway, thanks for telling that limey. I was wondering for a while why it was so easy to get semi-legal work in singapore

> I'm assuming it's a minority, thus they don't benefit from your tax policy. it makes sense that someone need not serve if they don't benefit from your taxes

This is what Trump means when he says they treat illegals better than they treat vets (not saying our military compares to yours). Singaporeans receive virtually no hand-outs, I think the figure is literally 1% (only the very poor). So neither of us benefit, but foreigners are free to come here and take jobs away and depress our wages. It doesn't make any sense that the people who will inevitably take up arms for the country and who have sacrificed 2 years of their lives be treated the same as economic migrants.

btw i think you have me confused with another Singa-flag

I was under the understanding that singaporeans mostly rented from state subsidized apartments, which means that even though people pay for their own shit, everything is below market price. I was under the impression it was a similar deal for healthcare.

I could be wrong. I looked at renting a few years back but it would have cost me 2k usd a month for what a sing citizen could get for 700.

Singapore.
>Charges almost no tax, but owns shares in all the lucrative business so it makes money.
>Hong Kong, High taxes, high average earnings.

In either situation the government can make money.
Please keep in mind Hong Kong was a major British trading port for 100 years.
>>
>>74294363

When you say rent, i think you mean "buy" from the government on a 99 year lease. It is true that singaporeans get grants for the purchase of state flats, but the amount is negligible unless you are dirt poor, in which case, you will probably rent a flat instead and work until you die.

These days, small 2 room flats cost at least 600-700k away from the city. We have the same problem as canada's cities, where rich chinese come in and buy everything driving real estate prices sky-high. Open borders doesn't help either.

The state doesn't spend shit on healthcare. Our state healthcare program medisave basically takes money from you every month and ... well... saves it. The money can only be used for your healthcare expenses, but it essentially is only your money. If you run out of medisave (which is easy) and you don't have insurance, you're kinda fucked. Quite similar to the USA.

>I could be wrong. I looked at renting a few years back but it would have cost me 2k usd a month for what a sing citizen could get for 700.

Foreigners can rent state flats through a subletter, only restrictions being quotas. So the price should be about the same.
>>
>>74294814
Because singaporeans are very effeminate and submissive, but still think they can look down on others. They avoid confrontation with others and accept any kind of humiliation. I actualy want to help these poor people but they get too defensive.

Guangzhou is full of niggers but actually its a good thing because now chinese people know that blacks are scum people. Guangzhou people are very racist against blacks now. If not for contact with blacks, some chinese may think they are ok people.

my perception was that china was attempting to shield the overseas chinese communities from muslims, but that the overseas chinese are too stuck up to accept it. overseas chinese act too much like american liberals. my ex girlfriend was a hakka who refused to learn mandarin and who looked down on mainlanders the way white libs look down on republicans. it was kind of annoying

ohhh shit, singaporeans hate hate hate jobs that require you to get dirty, slimy, go in the sun, hard labour etc. pick one that requires education in any degree but is a job that requires energy and labour - can't think of any the top of my head, and they'll be happy to hire you, since singafags don't them.

>>74292757
>what % of foreigners have their assets domiciled in singapore for tax purposes
as if the state will ever publish facts on this. it's illegal and corrupt and is bad for our clean, pure, anti-corruption image. widening income gap is real though, like the other singafriend has posted.

rent barely exists here unless you're foreign or rich. nearly everyone stays with their family. cos housing is so fucking expensive. plus you need to be married (or engaged - if single, you need to be above 35) to apply to purchase a new government flat, the cheapest purchasable housing option available. if you're not a married couple/a single person above 35 years old your only options are to rent, buy a used flat, buy private housing which are even more pricey

Are you saying that a percentage of your wage would officially be given to you for accommodation (which you just give back in cash or whatever?)


Are there one-bedroom places to rent in Singapore that are in budget working full-time retail jobs and such? Or is the housing market too inflated for that?
>you -will- find a job
I took this to mean you can definitely find retail jobs and such working in malls and such, if that's what you meant.
>>
>>74297037

That's exactly what I'm saying. But you may be able to find a job that pays 3K with no funny business. My australian friend did so, and he isn't a spectacular candidate by any means. Simple admin job, somehow worth 3k.

If you don't mind roommates, definitely. You'd have to travel, but the rail system is pretty comprehensive, albeit, it breaks down often.

hardest thing about IT is that you'd have to compete with indian migrants who are basically willing to do it for dirt and the indian managers at these firms are looking to hire indians only.

I'm half. it's true. for reasons relating to the methylation of the 14th chromosome, racial traits vary depending on which race is the father/mother.

every hybrid species has these issues, actually, which is why ligers/tigons are different, as are mules and donkeys.

for humans, there is something in brain development which is also screwy in racial hybrids more often than in background populations. you can actually tell what race an individual is by the ridge patterns in their brain.

not saying NOT to do it, as I am personally rather successful. but of my family that is mixed, more often than not htey come out a little screwy.
