What crisis? Good times make money for sitting around letting autopilot control the plane but don't know how to have some savings for a rainy day? How much does a typical pilot make anyway?

Once a foreigner become a PR, only first 2 years contribute lower CPF rate for employee and employer and from 3rd year onward. same CPF contribution rate as Singaporean. The only benefit is that PR got the choice of retiring back at their home town / country or retire in Singapore. As for Singaporean, if they want to retire in other countries, they'll need to pay for higher housing, higher medical cost and etc since they're foreigner there.

PR dun get to buy resale flat alone, cannot buy bto, pay higher medical fee, no handout benefits. Pay tax and maintain higher cost of living in Singapore.

We could ask these retrenched locals to be the enforcers for safe distancing.

All the proceeds of the fine will go to them. 1 stone 2 birds.

Handout benefits also not every Singaporeans get them. If you're sick and go GP there is no difference between Singaporeans and PRs, the higher medical fees only comes in if you go government hospitals. 

To be frank, the benefits of being able to retire back at their home countries with lower cost of living outweighs the slightly higher cost off living in Singapore for them as compare to Singaporens and at some PRs doesn't have higher cost of living as they live in private housing.

West Malaysian can renounce PR and withdraw CPF in full, no minimum sum, if 55 or over (or over 50 + no work 2 years or certified medically not able to work).

East Malaysian can renounce PR and withdraw CPF in full, no strings attached. Like any Singaporean renouncing citizenship.

West Malaysia only got additional age restriction to prevent people having their cake and eating it too - "retiring" at 40 and living in Johore, visiting Singapore very often.

That's productivity at work. If I'm him, I keep quiet and act busy for the rest of the 58 days, while in fact, the job already done at Day 2. 😁

But if his script shortens YOUR work from 60 days down to 2 days, it's time for you to hunt for another job 😂

Luckily I am a Singaporean, no such worry. Retiring in Jurong or Changi is the same to me...😁
