    Malaysian making fortune in sg. Many Malaysians especially Chinese are having better life here, must show gratitude for Singapore. Pity local guys 2 yrs NS then serve a period as reserve soldiers. After all the contributions to SG, old age as retirees and forgotten lots.
    This rich towkay maybe can show some appreciation for PG and MG cards holders 15% food discount.

      When a migrant comes here to work he has nothing. No medical, no housing, no CPF. So they work very hard as they have no backup. If one works hard it's very difficult to fail. Anyway they take up jobs that Singaporeans think it is demeaning and make a fortune out of it.

    Too many Malaysian make riches in SG but not serving NS. We should restrict these Malaysians from monopoly our business sectors. Should make it a law on this and curb their strangling on our economy as China man also.

      Agreed. We served NS to protect Singaporean and foreigners. Foreigners who made fortune here should contribute to NS funds. Also help those pioneer batches of National service men who had gave their life to the nation, now old jobless and down with sickness etc.
