Just so coincidence, I went back to my bunk to rest and a strait time newspaper was left on the table. The topic that was show was about Singaporean emigrating. As the survey shown one-fifths of people range 19 to 30 would like to emigrate.
When I start reading, there was always a doubt in my mind. Which is what is "Emigrate"? Then more questions came out to analysis this initial question. Questions such as migration and immigration, what are those words? Look so similar. So I hurry use my phone to look out for the meaning.
This is what I found out! Emigration refer to people who go to another country to live and be their citizen. Immigration refer to people to travel to another country and will be called as immigrant. Lastly Migration usually refer to action of birds where it travel to another place for living habitat.
Well, it quite a instead finding. Hope I get it right!
Link to the topic. My friend Brendon actually asked me whether will I emigrate. My answer to this is Yes, but not when I am young. More likely when I am having my retirement.
I have confident with Singapore economic. The stability, the culture, the friends, the history and my family are the most memorable things that I treasure. Living this place now will just be something that I cannot bear to do it. Recently in December, I just went for a Hong Kong Youth Exchange programme under People Association Youth Movement (PAYM). I somehow realize that Singapore Youths are empower! The government have being providing opportunities for us to take up and make a different to the society but... only a small percentage of us benefiting it. (Well, this is just my assumption)
Whether we get the benefit or not, living in Singapore is already a privilege. Government have being taking good care of us; We reap what we sow. If we were to work for our life, we will be given what we want! So are you working hard enough to deserve what you want?
