You can actually run non stop from one end of Singapore to the other. In Canada you'd be running straight to hell if you tried. 3. In Singapore you wont be randomly killed and eaten by a wild bear while on a cycling/hiking trip at bukit timah nature reserve.
So Desu ka? -
yes that is the case

I lived in Canada, in Toronto, Calgary, London and Vancouver for a few months. I'd say I prefer Singapore.
there are many things that are good in Canada, cospomolitan society in Toronto, beautiful rockie in Calgary, warm and nice people in London, and beautiful weather in Vancouver, most part of the year.
There are also many things that I would rather not have to endure, in toronto, winter cold like shit and in summer warm like..., in Calgary, you stay at home in winter learning how to hack the internet, and you dont have the kind of food you can get in Singapore, in London you are practically 'out of this world', not in heaven but somewhere in the universe, you don't know what happends outside, in Vancouver I may as well move to HK.
I can tell you there are many things in Singapore that you dont have in Canada. and one of this is a PAP government!!! believe me or not but it is true that many people in canada, especially the caucasian, are nuts over how a government can do wonders to a small place, "imagine if our government is half as efficient, with Canada's vast resources, we don't have to be mistaken as American".
人比人，气æ»äººã€‚how to company countres? one is a continent, the other one is a city state. go to toronto you are exactly opposite singapore on the other side of the globe, there must be some difference, good and not so good.
I enjoy what I have.

Yes please if someone could answer me this! That's really all the information I need to give my chain of command to get them to investigate this commonwealth posting thing and find out once and for all with 100% certainty if I can do this or not. Otherwise I will probably just work and travel in Singapore for a year or so in a non government organization.
And again, thank you all for your constructive replies, it has helped shape my decision as to how I'm going to go about doing what I want to after my tour in Afghanistan.

Duh... All training schedules are not allowed to be divulged to the public. The maximum we can divulged is our PT testing schedule because it very visible to public and located only in certain areas. If you want, please get your unit commander to contact MINDEF, our ministry of defence.If I remember rightly, our light training is from 1 day to 2 weeks and our heavy training can last from 4 days to several months. -
perharps at this rate SAF should considered a seperate FT command. I am sure there are supplies of manpower to establish at least 1 COY. .........

It is very dangerous in Afghanistan?
Heard that some canadians got KIA there.
You are probably sicked of the whole business.
Canadian soldier killed in AfghanistanA Canadian soldier was killed in fighting Thursday in southern Afghanistan, bringing to 125 the number of Canadian soldiers killed there since 2002, the military said.Private Sebastien Courcy, 26, "died while conducting operations in the Panjwayi District.

That is probably why our canadian friend wants to come here, influenced by our PAP propaganda.
If he lives here long enough, all his dreams and illusions would be gone.
Swanny, are you aware that Singapore is a repressive state?
Just curious.

You should have visited Chin Peng.
Villagers Against Chin Peng's Return
LENGGONG, May 29 (Bernama) -- The call for former Malayan Communist Party (MCP) Secretary-General Chin Peng to be allowed to return to Malaysia has evoked painful nostalgia for residents of a remote village in Hulu Perak, which had once been a target of the communist aggression.
The government's decision as announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak to not allow Chin Peng, who is currently living in exile in Hatyai, Thailand to return to Malaysia, even on humanitarian grounds, was received well by villagers as well as an individual who claimed to be a former MCP leader.
A former MCP unit assistant chief in Kampung Belum, Mohamad Wan Kechik, 84, said Chin Peng should not be allowed to return because of the atrocities the guerilla movement inflicted on the people.
"Although I was a member of the MCP in the past, I still don't agree on Chin Peng's return because he had caused much hardship to villagers here.
"It's not that I want to praise him, but he is good to those who listen to him but can be really mean to those who don't," he told reporters when met at Kampung Belum Baru here.
The British placed more than 150 families from Kampung Belum into Kampung Belum Baru to curb communist aggression.
Mohamad said although the MCP had officially laid down arms 20 years ago in 1989, it isn't easy for those who went through the ordeal to forget it.
His friend, Isa Awang Ngah, 82, said the communists controlled the Belum area for three years from 1948 to 1951, and villagers were tortured for not cooperating.
He said villagers had to surrender any type of food such as rice, padi and corn to the communists to avoid being tortured.
"The communists were really nice at first, but they were actually mean and could not be trusted. If they give ten sen they will ask back for a ringgit," he said.
"I do not agree with anyone who would want to bring back Chin Peng and I am not willing to face the communists again. Because of them I had to leave the village," he said.
Another villager, Sidek Ishak, 71, recounted his unforgettable experience in which he saw a public execution in front of his eyes.
"If the communists want to kill someone, they will invite the villagers to come and enjoy a feast of meat . After the meal they will conduct the execution in public to instil fear among the villagers," he said.
The Prime Minister on Wednesday announced that Ching Peng would not be allowed to return to Malaysia because it would cause unhappiness among the families of victims who were killed by the MCP.http://www.thepetai.com/2009/06/many-faces-of-chin-peng.html
Lest we forget: 60th anniversay of CPM’s 10th Regiment
(File photo: Regiment 10th’s procession during its 10th anniversary)
A famous Chinese says : “The race who doesn’t recognize the true history of its nation, is a race and nation that is seriously lacking in reflection and clarity of mind/vision. Its will make them further backward and not progressing” .
Today
is the 60th anniversary of the formation of the 10th Regiment of the
Communist Party of Malaya. The regiment 10th was led by Abdullah CD
(photo: right), who was also the chairperson of the CPM back then. Most
of the soldiers in the regiment comprise of Malay/Muslims, from Malaya
and Southern Thailand. They took up arms to resist the British Colonial
masters at that point of time, when the country was fighting for its
independence.Many of them are still alive, and live humble lives. They still think and long for their families in Malaysia. But life goes on…
Lets not forget a part of our history, no matter how small people’s contributions are. And their contributions are not that small, compared to the new colonial masters we have – UMNO.
