根据您贴,补一则新闻如下:
大致是讲,与去年相比零售指数下降11.7%
人多了多少?5.5%! 各位在座,生活水准大大提高啊哈
八年前,二所大学的工作的staff拿PR正常会被拒签一次,
那个时候,身份贵;
而今国内一个大专生(现在还有大专文凭?),也可以在这儿拿PR,
此时这些人是talent,但房子房租贵。
如果说个熊市死猫跳(dead cat jump)比方,
基金启动拉到顶,接盘栽下来的全是“雄心勃勃”的散户。
看看去海外的原住新加坡人增加了多少?
“有人辞官归故里,有人漏夜赶科场”
别指责我的晦涩,网上让明白人看懂的只有这种形式。。。。。。。。。。

Visitor arrivals to the island have also dropped as the globalslowdown hurts business and holiday travel, slashing revenue forhotels, retailers and restaurants.
“People are still wary about buying big-ticket items, and unemploymentnumbers show hiring is still pretty soft,” said David Cohen, head ofAsian forecasting at Action Economics in Singapore. “Tourist arrivalshave fallen and things will be slow in picking up.”
