SINGAPORE EXPATS FORUM
Singapore Expat Forum and Message Board for Expats in Singapore & Expatriates Relocating to Singapore

Let’s make this short. To reference to the OP : Crime exists in Australia (as in all countries), and based on daily news articles in Australian papers, it is hardly racial. If I did not believe that the situation can change, there was no point bringing in most of my posts on this topic - despite wha...

Bafana wrote: If it was true then having so many Aussies in Singapore would increase the crime rate here and since a lot of them hang around Holland Village Precisely, so why arent there Aussies committing the same level of crimes in Singapore? ....waitaminute, perhaps it's the legal system in Singa...

So now genetics is linked to unwillingness to change laws?
Interesting.

To feed the fanfare that you and KSL have started here about genetic predispositions of Australians . . . because it would 'support' your opinions. Would you care to further share/explain what you think my opinions regarding "genetic predispositions of Australians" are? - in the context of supporti...

What theory do you think I've attempted to 'prove' , other then the fact the crime is a problem in Australia? or that they seem to be increasingly more violent, executed by younger criminals with scant/zero respect for the (impotent) legal system ? That there doesn't seem to exist a 'critical' mass ...

I disagree with a number of parts in Adam Khoo's article. Singapore embraced their education system to build the 'knowledge worker', which entails more earning capacity then a medial worker or laborer (compared to its neighbours). With better (best?) grades, you do get into better schools and the lo...

Direction. Leadership in Singapore would be to provide Direction, to take away the need from the general public to consider how the country should be handling its various policies. It is this by providing this Direction that allows Singaporeans to be the best human capital they can be. In an Asian s...

Damn, have to get some blame in here for the Caucasian Australians to keep KSL and the likes of utopia happy. Vaucluse, I think it would be interesting if you would like to share/explain why you would think it would make the likes of utopia 'happy' that some blame is attributed to 'Caucasian Austra...

....And that's just today . . . I can furnish you with these stories and reports from just about any country on a daily basis . . . but that would prove pretty much what your efforts prove: Nothing Clearly, since crime exists in other countries, therefore it's not an 'issue' in Australia. Like I sa...

IF Australians wanted a changes in terms of 'resolving' the level of crime that Australia, then apparently, it hasn't been successful. Again, explain to me how this is achieved, according to you Alright, let’s exchange notes; I’ll try not to overlap the points Splatted and KSL had already covered. ...

Thanks Splatted, KSL for your input and insights, it seems a valid start to address the migrant factor in the crime levels, as well as the dangers of a socialist ‘handout/welfare’ culture - “Good intentions that result in ineffective/negative results”
