RocketJim's

Are you lost for words when foreigners ask you about Singapore? Do you not know the population stats? The birth rate? The per capita GDP? *gasp* The size of our beloved country!?! Fear no more because RocketJim is here to help (with the aid of www.cia.gov/)!

At a glance,

Size: About 693 sq. km (land and sea)
Population: Almost 4.5million
Highest point: Bukit Timah at 166m
Median age: 37.3 years...we are so aging. (Malaysia at 24 and Japan at 44)
Life Expectancy: 81 years
Racial Make-up: Chinese 76.8%, Malay 13.9%, Indian 7.9%, other 1.4% (2000 census)
Religion: Buddhism 42%, Islam 14%, Christianity 10% (2000 census)
Per Capita GDP: $28,100 (Japan $35,100, Malaysia $12,100) (2005 census)

And the biggest shocker:

Fertility Rate: 1.09 per woman!!! (Japan 1.4, Malaysia 3.04)

At least we are more hospitable to foreign talent...if we are going to keep Japan's rigid standard (they turned down MY visa. ME!!! I hope they are kicking themselves) on immigration, Singapore's gonna be screwed. See, talking about foreign workers (especially the lower skilled ones), I think we shouldn't be that harsh on them. Afterall, our Government isn't even doing enough to protect their welfare; they take up jobs Singaporeans seriously don't want and their living conditions suck.

One thing I find pretty irritating is that many people complain about the 'chee ko' Bangladeshis. I think it's unfair. For example, I have to remind my mummy several times that not all of them hide among bushes and rape women. Of course there is no winning her; I am stupid to be so naive. Most of the time, when I see them Bangladeshis, they are sitting on the grass hugging their friends or surrounding an ATM machine wondering how to use it. I have yet to see one lurking behind bushes but nevermind, I don't need to see that ONE.

Yes and ALL Chinese women are here to steal my potential boyfriends, husbands and my grandfather. Strangely though, I have less pity for them simply because they are not very lowly skilled and they cut my queues. Anyway, if everyone gets enough lubbin', nobody will stray. Problem solved.

I lovvveeeeee intelligent men!!! Off topic lah but WTH. Have a nice day educating your foreign friends!
