Given it took me almost 8 years … $40,000 … 2 court cases and an eviction notice before Australian immigration finally allowed me to become an Australian resident … you’d think I’d have to wait years before Singapore – a land that is pretty much anti everything I stand for / have been involved with* – would let me become a permanent resident, but no, because after just 3 weeks and a $200 fee, they’ve let me in and let me stay.
Proof that Western people – however undesirable – still are treated with more favour [in certain Asian countries] than many of the locals.
It’s not right or fair but my god am I glad that’s the case, hahaha!
* Don’t worry Mum, it doesn’t include ‘drugs’ or ‘cigarettes’ – never tried ’em, I am a good boy apart from all the other stuff, ha!
