Enye Hypersonic January 31, 2014 Share January 31, 2014 I know angry with government... But cannot everything also blame them La. I give u example.. HK tax about same as us..Their pay is around 20% higher than us for exactly the same role. Have cheaper public transport and cheaper car, but housing 30-70% more, petrol is 30-40% more ex, parking is 30-50% more, a bowl of noodle is s$5 minimum. As for malaysia, what a person earn in.So for s$5000, they earn rm4000-5000. Their housing is 60%-80% cheaper than us. Taxi is cheaper.than us. Not much public transport infrastructure. Car is 70% cheaper than us. 1 bowl of noodle is rm5 in JB and Kl. So you see.. No perfect world lah Which countries have as high reserves as us per capita?

And I'm sure they didn't mention the nights during weekdays when they didn't go home and spend the time with their families in JB due to long traveling and jam if they didn't manage to beat the jam at 6pm.. It's personal choice.. But give me stay free in.JB this way... I rather not and stay put in the tiny red dots pigeon hole. These expats could likely do it bec their kids attending Marlboro college in JB.. Edited January 31, 2014 by Chucky2007 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky2007 Turbocharged January 31, 2014 Author Share January 31, 2014 (edited) Parents will sacrifice time for their children's education.. Not sacrifice time just to stay in big house in JB. I think so bec I ever seen a expat mother bringing her kids who wears JB Marlboro college uniform take public transport from east side of Sg.

Myxilplix Turbocharged January 31, 2014 Share January 31, 2014 Last sunday I met an expat who moved over to work in Singapore in august (specialised field of work, dun get angry). He stays in leisure farm and rides a Singapore registered big bike (dunno if got car over there or not). He says if he leaves home just after 8 to avoid the m'sian kup kias, he's having his morning coffee in his pickering street office by 9am. Only problem he has to leave the office before 4pm or else kena caught in the kupkiakrush on the way back. On days he doesn't ride or has to be out of the office etc, he has a "private taxi" guy who sends him and picks him up from anywhere in sgp. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
