King... apologies bout the unhappy=dangerous jibe... on my part that was out of line... my bad.
Para- agreed that expats in spore do plant roots down. indeed when roots gets pulled out...family usually takes the brunt....
thats the illusion bout being an expat in spore.... the life you have has roots.... i.e kids school, kids friends, cars club membership...etc.... however it doesn't change the fact that it is a CONTRACT term job.....
hence the mis-illusion... the contract job is never permanent ....subject to the 3 month notice that you or the company can part ways... SQ is not responsible for the roots that one has laid down in trying to make sense of living overseas.
