    I remember a road named after this person.
    It was somewhere near the old somapah bus interchange. Wonder if this road still exists?
    When I was in primary school, my mom used to go to this place to get my school uniform.

    Unlike govt land, sla will allow top up.

    So.... Never buy LH on FH land. If you have to buy LH, buy from govt LH land.

    dun worry about it brother !

    when I left my family business, I was in and out of about 20 jobs within 3 years and then unemployed for another 3 years before I gathered enough capital from investment ( including property ) to start my own business to employ myself.

    unless you are happy with ur current situation, time will come for you if you believe in yourself

    okay since brothers and sisters here shy to share what they work as. I shall continue:

    why did i ask u guys what u work as ? It is important because your day job is the job that generate the capital for ur investment.

    Since time eternal, all prosperous empires or economies like the Roman, The Tang Dynasty, The Raja Empire, all depended on the advancement of technology, education and economic growth/trade to fulfill the asset appreciation for their citizens. These citizens within these prosperous empires were the happiest regardless of what their occupation. You know why?


    Ans: Most of them works to own properties like farms or houses and their Property Value Appreciated during their lifetime.

    Good Luck.

    During that time in Tang Dyansty, even a private home tutor can be richer than a businessman. That is because the tutor owned the school to conduct the lessons.

    Ever wonder how Zhu GeLiang survived as a private tutor during the 3 Kingdoms?

    although during the Tang Dynasty, it was an Imperial system. The economy was a capitalist one. There were no stock markets, but there were markets for trading commodities like sugar,salt,etc. The concept was similar to our present stock exchange.

    it was quite a democratic social system. you can say anything you want except anything about the Emperor. there were casinos and brothels too.

    So why were there no rebellion? Well, it was because the people were well fed. they all have extra money from their property rentals to spend on tours and other leisure activities.

    Early life

    Zhuge Liang was born in Yangdu, Langya Commandery (present-day Yinan County, Shandong). He was orphaned at a premature age, and was raised by his uncle, Zhuge Xuan.[4] He followed his uncle to live in Jing Province under Liu Biao later. After his uncle died, Zhuge Liang and his brothers settled in Wolonggang (in present-day Henan)[5][6][7][8] for the next ten years or so, leading simple lives – farming by day and studying at night. Zhuge Liang's two older sisters married members of influential clans with strong connections in the region.


    The Temple of the Marquis of Wu in Chengdu, a temple worshipping Zhuge Liang.
    Zhuge Liang enjoyed reciting

    Unless the governments all over the world are going to do something about the problems now, the age of rapid technological and medical innovations are going to slow to a halt. Which clever people want to be a scientist, engineer, doctor to some something useful for the society and the world when those people doing economically and socially useless (or near useless) jobs earning 10x-100x or more than them using other people's money with no risk of their own money? (think you get me what those professions those are).

    the super clever earning salary 10x more than the stupid unskilled unemployed investors. BUT the stupid unskilled are shrewd and daring enough to invest in properties but the super clever has no balls and wanted riskless returns.

    the stupid unskilled took like 15 years to own their first property and they took the plunge. The super clever took like 2 years to be able to buy a first property yet they delay and waited and waited until the boats came and left like 20 times. In the end, they took 10 more years to own one decent property although they have higher earning power.

    tell me who deserve to be rich ? the ones who took the risk like the lazy unemployed or the ball-less smart alecs ?


    WOAHAHAHAHHEH


    THE DUMBS GET DUMBER. THANK YOU FOR THAT.
