A Singaporean In Australia

> Advice, not advise. I feel like sammyboy now.

Hahah, I remember that too from sammyboy... my starting point of checking out my emigration options. :p

I disagree

Re-re-read the email again.

Assuming it is not edited the way it was constructed can only be read in a certain way

I want my son to study uni in Oz

I understand Oz government will fund my son or uni if he is PR

So I am trying to get PR so that my son can be PR so that he can get his studies In Aussie uni funded by Oz Govt

This is essentially the intent of the writer and certainly it highlight the reason fo applying for PR now and does not state any intent regarding committing to fulfilling his obligations as a PR contributing to Australia in the long run, for the writer and the son.

Can you blame any Australians, locally born or migrant, for getting upset for this kind of mentality?

Furthermore the writer is thinking about coming under family reunion and not skilled migrants, so there is no apparent intent in contributing to Australian society, I am surprised the scheme still exists in the current form after so many years of abuse...... Family getting elderly parents a PR purely to get Medicare benefits and treatment after which the parents go back to their home country forever.

Plenty of people from MY IN and SG did exactly what the writer proposed in the early 1990s and then after graduation the children go back to home countries without paying the HECS university fees or the AUSTUDY student loans, so gives the local SEA origin migrants a very bad reputation. Then the economic crises f the late 1990s happens the the SEA countries sudden was in recession, but these graduates cannot come back since they lost their PR...

Although I also agree that your response when tired (KNNBCCB) was over the top, took me a while to reactivate my SBMT training.... Both good days and nightmares at the same time (took me 2 years after ROD to stop thinking about it)

See wat see, simi LC!

And BTW to J who wrote this

You can do what you want and ultimately you will get someone to help you get PR, but you better stay anonymous because I don't think you will get much sympathy from many people for all your wrong intentions, but thank you for being honest

If the Oz govt is going to give anyone PR, it will be under 2 circumstances:

1. The person is useful and is going to contribute to Australia in some way skills, wealth, knowledge. If bringing this person going to keep a valuable person already in Oz to keep staying here, this also applies

2. Sympathetic for the person persecuted for various reason not of their own doing, claiming asylum

You may say Oz govt may still accept J's application but ultimately based on what J wrote there is no doubt in terms of the motive; primarily the son's education to be funded by the Oz government. Defending J for whatever other possible or unsaid reasons J may have is pointless, since it is not important enough for J to mention it in the email.

I am not saying the system is not prone to abused, as I said it is very common in Australia for ppl to do exactly what J plans to do in the1990s, but doesn't mean we should say its ok to use the loophole when we know about it. That's why I wrote that J can do whatever J wants but I suggest anonymity is preferable because who know people including me can become buay sing not happy and decide to write a letter to DIMA

Btw ABS

Judging by what the Abbot government is doing to reduce expenditure, don't be surprised if there is going to be changes withe skilled migration scheme and family reunion scheme since nothing is sacred enough for him to be left alone.

When John Howard got elected in 1996 within 3 months his government decided that all PR except asylum seeker PR, will not be entitled to Medicare for first 6 months in Australia.

And tony Abbott admire Howard a lot.

You betta get your application in before other people start to give the migration scheme a bad name. It just take one outcry on a case of abuse stirred up by media for Abbott to use that as an excuse to make the loop tighter for everyone.

Remember there is still enough rednecks around to support his migration change

@ ABS

you got the abbreviation because I am sick of getting typos from using the iPad.

You are still a Rudd supporter? Are you mental? I know I used a string word but I have been sympathetic to him and what happened to him, but the last 2 years he truly showed his real self, so there is no way I am supporting Rudd and that back stabbing Shorten now. Abbott was the only other candidate, so as much as I have reservations, there is no surprises as much as I expected from him so far as he promised. If someone expects much more than what he actually did promised, they are the one who are mistaken and thus disappointed and saying they were being cheated, even though he has been te upper middle class Queen loving, god-fearing, xenophobic misogynist he always was

You like all things HK? Speak Cantonese? Yum cha every weekend? Then you really should come to Sydney.

Setting up cook food business for Chinese is very competitive now in Sydney. HK style, SEA style, various regional style from mainland china, Taiwanese style, even far western jiangxi halal food easily available, and this is definitely not even considering other non-Chinese Asian food

So unless you an offer a unique and popular twist, otherwise cook food business is a hard market to break into.

So you are enduring in SG until the right time? If I am you I will subscribe and read the Australian newspaper online o watch out for any move on migration scheme. Brandis is seeking to change the racial vilification law and if he is successful, then changing migration law will be small fry for him

BTW of course J is a pseudonym; you think J is like MiB meh? :)

Posted email contact no reply from ABS

Email address withdrawn to spare spamming and ppl ka-chiao

SES can take quite a big commitment both physically and time and predictability. I applaud your plan but if you want to volunteer there are plenty of things you can do including joining rotary or lions club, or even participate in the local community club, like cycling society, bush walking club etc in which they often needs people in the executive committee to volunteer their time to organise things and call people up or fund rising etc.

Don't need to go and do too much physical and dangerous thing if you want to.

Also look at landcare website for projects

When I can I join a land rehabilitation project about 20 km away from the city every month on Sundays for a 3-4 hour session. Meet a lot of people I would not have seen in my social circle. Plenty of older people healthy and strong enough to do land work; in my line I only see sick old people, so a very nice change of perspective

My my ABS, you are an angel aren't you?

I still remember what you said in the other post on Nix's blog.

I'm calling you out as a first class hypocrite for that. :)

I have a lot to learn from you indeed!

Let the public judge from the quality of our blogs. I've read ABS's just once, before he showed his true colours.

Never been back since. But I'm sure his retaliation has nothing to do with attempting to drum up page views for a mediocre blog at all..

Not that ours is anything to crow about lah.. :)

But before any other angels cast stones at me, try to find out the backstory first.

People like ABS make me tend to want to avoid Sinkies even here in Melbourne. I've heard his species isn't unique actually.

Big deal! You got a blog. I don't have one, is that gonna make me or anyone who doesn't have a blog a lesser human? You talk like one who is suffering from Megalomania a psychological disorder associated to self-inflated ego.

That's where your problem is. You like to assume. Nobody claims to be an angel here.

Good Lord! As much as you want to avoid Singaporeans in Australia, I doubt anyone would want to associate with you. You are a nutcase. And guess what? You got a perfect match for your name Neurotic Rambling aka Mentally Confused.

Seems like your species won't go extinct after all. Look, we have a mating pair! (h)

Gosh. You guys crack me up =))

Hi XYZ,

Firstly, I wasn't the first one to cast stones in this thread. Ok I do have my own opinions about the original questions from J but have tried my best not to reveal it.

Secondly, there's more history to it even in Nix's blog. I leave you to discover if you bother. Doesn't really matter. If we cared what people think of us, we wouldn't even have migrated in the first place. Internet opinions, negative or positive, don't mean that much to us. But of course concrete suggestions or advice is always appreciated :)

Flaming is par for the course lah. It's the internet after all, where everyone has an opinion and thinks very highly of it. We kena before big time on our blog, likely from PAP IB. Though the interesting characters I see here seem to belong to a different class altogether.

And to be very honest, independently of such pleasurable exchanges like this, these days, we aren't nearly as interested in adding on to our migration guide as we used to be when we were walking that path. We are still happy to assist those genuine cases who have clearly done their homework and have a fighting chance.

This goes for friends and strangers alike. Singaporean or otherwise.

ABS, thank me for what?!?! That's not the point. Don't you get it?

He is whining to me that I just fucked his wife, but he can't do anything about it. And I can continue to brag how big and juicy my dick is that his wife can't resist it. That's exactly what he meant!

Read again what he said. He is telling the whole world that he can call you "hypocrite" because he pleases and he can brag about his lame blog where he lives "uniquely" like a GOD, whereas every Sinkie is nothing but a "mediocre" specie who enjoys reading his bullshit like a mantra that he plans to stop writing.

He ain't got balls to own up what he has done to you. Call him coward, if you want.
Yet he has the cheeks to ask everyone to read his blog. That's his motive, in case you missed it.

As if I care to read a whiner's blog. I have psychic power. I can tell he is a loser from reading a few replies he wrote. Asking me to read a loser's blog? You must be kidding me.
