I had been planning to leave Singapore for quite sometime, partly due to the situation of my office, and my career. But another main reason is the direction this place is turning into.

Then, I come across a well written article describing what I have feel toward this place.

Many might said, that this have nothing to do with my job, as I'm an engineer after all. But when a place have go again you believe and value that you hold, then it is time to do something.

To those my follow Singaporean and PR, I sorry to said that I have giving up on you guy, but this is not my war and I'm not capable of fighting it.

As someone trained in US in Engineer, I feel sad to see that US is losing out in the advantage in the technology.

Apply this ideal to relate where I have live for the last fews year - Singapore. The situation is worse. But they are smart, they know that they can't compete, so they just give up. This can be highlighted by selling of Charted Semiconductor manufacturing.

But as a engineer, where should I go? Taiwan or China?
