NO MORE 5Cs BUT NEW 5Bs in Singapore

Well.....here is something to link the 5Cs to the newer 5Bs !

I don't need a CAR, but I want a BMW ;

I don't need a CONDO, but I want a BUNGALOW;

I don't need you to have CASH but I want you to own a BANK;

I don't need you to have a CAREER but I want you to be a BOSS;


Most of you would have heard of the Singapore 5Cs! :

Car, Condo, Credit Card, Cash and Career

Heard of the 5Bs?

B - BMW

B - Body

B - Brain

B - Billionaire

B - Bungalow

And, and addition with the 5Ks:

Kiasu (scared of losing)

Kiasi (scared of dying)

Kiabor (scared of wife)

Kiaboh (scared of having nothing)

Kiachenghu (scared of government)

We've been reading about the 5Cs and 5Ks, now comes the 5 Numerals...

Singapore's 'practice' for Simple Living : 12345

1 - One Wife (If more than one, LKY will consign you out of Singapore anyway)
2 - Two Children
3 - Three Bedroom Condo
4 - Four Wheels
5 - Five Figure Salary

This unrelated picture with KS and KS is supposed to be impersonators doing Kit Siang and Karpal Singh, not Kiasu and Kiasi or vice versa! In fact, both Malaysian veteran politicians are the opposites of either Kiasu and Kiasi. Anyway, I used to jokingly introduced myself as Kiasu when asked about my own initials...
