[EZLINK] Re: Why there is a Sudden EXPLOSION in HDB rentals rates ????

Hi Sriram.C.S,

Nice work. Can you post the eMail id or how you able to send the
article. I would Like to request the group memebers that please
write back to the newspaper with more feed back, which may force
them to interview some guys.

Promote editorial copies and give to all the guys/gals in your
circle. I did started and sent to my employer even, so they will
know that if they don't care. They will loose business.

You can send back home that people from your circle should not come
here on low salaries or send to the newspaper in India.

Remember: We have no problem with anything as long as employer will
subsidise the rent but principally it is wrong to create the
subsidised environment, which will burden for poor local singaporean.

Regads,
