I forgot damn a lot of econs liao... but can try... with a bit of wiki's help
Like what tinuviel07 said, when in equilibrium, there are no change in the official reserves of the country...
The balance of payments is a statistical statement that summarizes transactions between residents and nonresidents during a period
A balance of payments equilibrium is defined as a condition where the sum of debits and credits from the current account and the capital and financial accounts equal to zero; in other words, equilibrium is where
This is a condition where there are no changes in Official Reserves.[12] When there is no change in Official Reserves, the balance of payments may also be stated as follows:

Nope, how can anyone blame the government for the upbringing of the people?
Can you blame the teachers in school if your child is not doing well in his/her studies?
People are brought up differently and I believed people who has failed to pay enough attention to monitor and correct a child's growth during their growing up process, has plenty to reap in their own future together with their children.
So what's the next thing after those retards has fulfilled their motives to have a change of government? They can change the government, but they can never change the fact that the different government will still be managing the same country with the same groups of retards.
Blame GOD is it?
The first two sentences are well said.
But even then, the basic requirement of the government is "for the people".
If quite a number of people are not happy (say 33%), then do you think the government has succeeded in it's fulfilling it's basic requirement?

do the inside first, and thread y like a constant
so, for the inside integral, after integrating, you get
( ln |(1-xy)| )( 1/(-y) ) from 0 to 1
Putting in the values, you get
(-1/y)( ln |1-y| - ln (1) ) = (-1/y)( ln |1-y| )
Our next integral is integrating y from 0 to 1, so 1-y will always be greater or equals to zero => |1-y| = (1-y)
this is a special integral, and I admit I forgot how to do it actually... Found the answer online somewhere, and adapted it here... we can use power series to solve it
since we integrate (-1/y)( ln (1-y) ) from 0 to 1
http://thesaurus.maths.org/mmkb/entry.html?action=entryById&id=2705(-1/y)( ln (1-y) ) = x + x^2/2 + x^3/3 + ...)/x = 1 + x/2 + x^2/3 + ....
Integrating from 0 to 1 we get 1 + 1/2^2 + 1/3^2 + ...
This is the same as summing 1/n^2 from 0 to infinity, and whose answer is pi^2 / 6

Actually hor, supposed one earns $3k a month from age 25 to age 65, and including a 1 month year end bonus, the total in CPF is around SGD 0.5 mil already (if never buy house using CPF, or use it for anything)
Plus some savings, say 100k.
600k sgd should be enough to survive in a country where everything is cheaper and life is slower right?

unfortunately I have to agree with you. This is so very true.
Sadly, because of point number 2, some students are very very unwilling to share their resources or teach their friends how to do questions. Very bad culture. (This is also happening in the teaching profession, because of their new grading system, and that about 5% must be in grade D.)

You can only be a success if you have something worth being successful. Be it a grad or not, if you do not have that X-factor, it's a hercluean task to be extremely successful
You take a degree not for purely the gaining of the knowledge, but for the training of your mind power, your handling of stress and the ability to multi-task under tight time constraints, your communication skills with people from the scientific community, soft skills etc etc.
If one goes into a learning institution with the mindset that it is a place only for gaining of knowledge, then one would never receive the full education/training that the institution provides.
Even when I teach tuition, I do not teach "memorizing" or regurgitation of "knowledge". I teach exam strategies, methods of checking that saves time, how to handle these questions under the limited time given, etc, as well. All these are skills that can be applied universally to all subjects, from pri sch to uni exams.

You'd need to start migrating when you are still young. Because....
No country will welcome you and give you the same welfare as a native in that country you go to, unless you have earned your priviledges.
I guess they want to take their CPF monies to retire there? And hope it is sufficient that they do not need any further welfare?
