BKK got so nice sky ah???ut to settle there...muz know Thai...

 

Bkk not only got nice sky..

Poor got poor eat, rich got rich eat.

 

My Thai CMI lah

u mean we toh-tap them

 

makes me scared to go back.

 

how much is 1 bowl of beancurd jelly?

[Carndablues]

OZ high tax.

 

Common misconception, there are many loopholes in the tax structure. You can buy an iMac for less than $50 after all the tax deductions (for example!)

[Carndablues]

but they take care of you when you are old. vs here, left to die.

 

Again, common misconception, only if you are very poor, then you will qualify for the pension and medical schemes. If you are middle-class the Government assumes you can take care of yourself, so you have to buy Private Medical cover etc etc

[Metalslug]

oh is it. so are the 2 medical insurance schemes for SG and OZ the same? i dont think so right?

 

actually come to think of it, 1 thing SG good is got medical clinic available easily. in OZ heard it takes a week for you to see doctor, and its by appointment somemore.

 

another bad thing for OZ is while swimming in the ocean can kana makan by sharks.

nope.

 

many ppl dun understand our medical system.

 

if you stay in ward C, its almost or 100% subsidized, regardless whether you are rich or poor. this is true.

 

even if you are giving birth in KK, you can stay in ward C and you pay almost nothing.

 

i know of someone who actually stay in ward C in KK while giving birth..... she pay $0.... unbeliveable, right? but its true.

 

 

now, many ppl in spore complain abt our medical costs.

 

but they dun wan to stay in ward C.

 

they wan to stay in Ward B or A. of course govt wont pay for you la! you stay in B or A, govt will assume that you got money to pay.....

 

 

ask ourselves truthfully, do i want to stay in ward C when i get sick?

 

its free, you know....... but want or not?

 

most of us will say dun wan, coz scared dirty, smelly, no air con, no face, relatives/friends will gossip abt me, etc etc......

 

so most of us will stay in ward B or A, and then we complain medical bill so expensive.......

 

 

so we should find out properly about our system before complaining.......

the US govt wanted to give citizenships to the illegal immigrants, but was met with protests from citizens.

[Qpik]

confirmed cost of living hv tripled...

[Slowmo]

no leh. i want to stay in C ward, but was rejected.

[Ahhuat]

i work with PRs.. not many leave after a 'short period of time'.. what is short? 2 yrs? i got colleagues who stay as PRs for 10 yrs plus.. i think its perfectly fine... and while they do stay, they do contribute.. pls let us all get rid of the mentality that these PRs stay here living in squalor and save money in biscuit tins just to bring it home.. and im quite indifferent between them getting citizenship or not.. doesnt really matter to me.. as long as while they're here, they add to the workforce, pay income tax, buy from our shops.. im quite happy.. cos this is more than wat i can say about some citizens... and if we want to keep dissing our foreign talent.. then we also better not see our locals going oseas and becoming foreign talents there...

 

as for expats, they do not enjoy subsidies.. not even subsidised education.. and as an educator.. i quite welcome foreign kids in my class cos it pushes our own kids who can sometimes get complacent and take on their parents' mentality.. which is when they do not meet the bar.. they ask for the bar to be lowered!

[Slowmo]

not only sharks.

 

25 most poisonous snakes in the world, 21 of them is in australia.

you have 2 most poisonous spiders that can commonly appear in your house, funnel spider and black widow. the former is able to kill a 3 yr old kid in 15 mins.

 

then you have the blue ringed jellyfish which can kill you in about 30 mins.

 

 

down under is not for wussies.

[Qpik]

i got nothing against going for c class.

 

but, let's face it. the few times i go to see polyclinic, i nearly lost my job. my ex-employer do not believe that i took 1 day to see the doctor.

[Ahhuat]

oh is it. so are the 2 medical insurance schemes for SG and OZ the same? i dont think so right?

 

actually come to think of it, 1 thing SG good is got medical clinic available easily. in OZ heard it takes a week for you to see doctor, and its by appointment somemore.
