Of Course, Of Course

SINGAPORE: In the last three years, an average of 1,000 Singaporeans gave up their citizenship each year.
Deputy Prime Minister and Home Affairs Minister Wong Kan Seng said their reasons for doing so vary, and these range from marriage to foreigners, to yearning for a different environment.
Most of them took up new citizenship in countries in Southeast Asia, the United States and Australia.
Mr Wong gave this update in reply to a written question from Non-Constituency MP Sylvia Lim.
She had asked how many Singapore citizens emigrated from Singapore in the last three years, the countries they emigrated to and their reasons for doing so.
Mr Wong said those who emigrate generally do not declare this to the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority when they leave.
So the only available data which gives an indication of the number of emigrants from Singapore is the number of Singaporeans who have given up their citizenship and left Singapore. - CNA/vm

I, er, can't help but notice this piece of news on Channel News Asia website.
But really, i didn't expect this many Singaporeans leaving home a year.
1,000 , does that mean at least 1,000 jobs open up a year?
and probably some other years later, it will be 1,001... me included.

I was walking past this place in Singapore lately,
and was talking about migrating to places like Australia, Canada, even London
It almost appears that i am avoiding things here, locally
and this news pop out

And then i thought of the many repeated similar surveys
that i took during NS days
questions abit on whether i will leave singapore
my thoughts were positive

I served NS, and will be completing my further studies here as well
so, will i eventually leave this place?
my family's here too. will i will i?
and of course, it has also crossed my mind that i should also take my further studies overseas, and to make things better, shift my whole family there...

but then, thinking cautiously, is Singapore that bad?
i mean, in terms of freedom, we do have lots.
I mean, restriction is also a form of freedom?
too much of something might cause imbalance

then i guess i'll just have to stay and watch how everything changes
four years would be a suitable period
before i really add myself to the numbers
and be that one thousand and one

having said so much, do i have what it takes? ... ... ... ...
