Aiyo... wrong also lar brother....

Spore tax in general is better!!

Take for example stamp duty.... each property I buy in Oz must pay 20-40aud to Oz garment.

In Singapore each property I buy the stamp duty is negligible lor. Downside is SG property more vulnerable to speculation lar... i.e. property bubble.

Kind Regards

Edit:Sala is not 20-40 aud is 20,000 - 40,000 aud

A) Singapore also has stamp duty, for a S$500,000 property, you are paying S$9,600 in stamp duties. For S$500,000, you can probably get a 4-5 Room HDB in Singapore, but you can get a landed property in Australia. The stamp duty for a A$500,000 (Landed Property) in Australia ranges from A$8,750 to A$21,970.

B) Australia does not have Radio and TV licence, you still need to pay S$110 every year to government.

C) There is no property tax for owner occupied housing in Australia, but in Singapore you still have to pay a concessionary rate of property tax to Singapore's PAP government. The advantage of low property taxes in Singapore will be eroded in 10 years, due to Singapore's property taxes. Also don't forget the higher cost of living in Singapore compared to Australia. Electricity, ERP, Medical Services, GST (Australia exempts medication, books and basic food from GST, Singapore is non discretionary).

D) The wage level for Australia is higher than Singapore, Singaporeans make $1,200, while similar job in Australia pays 3-4 times more. You get A$15 for stacking shelves in the supermarket in Australia. How much do you get in Singapore for stacking shelves? This also means that it's easier for Australians to pay for their A$500,000 home compared to a Singaporean. When your salary is 3-4 times that of Singapore, it's justified to have "private" housing that cost $500,000. How do you justify "public" housing costing S$500,000 when your salary is 1/3 to 1/4 that of Australia's?

Singapore's tax in general looks better, but when comparison is taken to relative wage levels and price level, it's a stark contrast compared to Australia.

US unemployment is 10%. The long‐term unemployment rate (including
workers who are marginally attached, discouraged and part‐time for economic
reasons) is 17.3%.

UK unemployment is 7.9%. Spain’s unemployment rate is 19.3%.

In the Euro zone countries, people aged 16‐24 unemployment rate:
Spain’s is 42%,
Greece’s is 25%,
Ireland’s is 28%
and Italy’s is 27%

Surely unemployed Singaporeans living in Europe and US will want to try their luck back home than in these countries.

But given their western outlook and affirmation, I am no doubt that as the situation reverses, they will also be the first to leave.

to 4 sg,

not only sporean...even the bangla , indians , china chinese + phillipinos people werking in spore all want to run to usa n elsewhere when got the chance!!!

Hitman_ SG

their test tube washer earn $7k/mth overseas....even more than spore director salary in mnc!

and yearly increment is always 10-15% of gross salary overseas ...no performance appraisal or those other sai appraisal found in spore!which means salary would then be adjusted after 1st year which is $7700/mth...2nd year would be $8400/mth...3rd year would be $9200/mth...4th year would be over $10,000/mth!!!anybody given this kinda money in spore would not only wash test tubes but the boss car and possibly the entire factory windows...but in overseas those kinda pay and increments are considered standard issued!

Hitman_ SG

actually due to great effort placed into securing job overseas with alien surroundings and different culture involved.......it should be a great way of rewarding desrving sporeans who had werked overseas.

this means are they well adjusted to werk with differnt sorts of people from difffernt cultures across different continents!so there!

any normal singaporean on the street would not be able to cope with that for a week let alone years!

Hitman_ SG

fling,

ask them for $9-$10k.if they dont give...then why even bother thinkin bout spore if money is not there?????

5 years and whats wrong with all those countries u are in?to work properly make sure u first get a FIRM foothold in any one of the countries u are in!it is like a ladder....u cant climb up further if u dont have a firm grip of first step on ladder.with firm foothold in civilised countries u would find spore salary is low and uncivilised.u got firm foothold in counrries u are permanently or not???

why think of spore to work????they never reward u last time what makes u think they will reward u in da future.u got potential to get job all by yourself and werk with overseas people all by your own so setting up company earning $50k/mth is possible.think nothing bout director or CEO etc etc ,just do what your mind tells u to do!

Simple, join the RC lah,...be a grassroot for PAP, sure got it privileges...no wonder my Joo Chiat RC peoples alway like to celebrate this and that,...all damn proud looking one...carry boss one

If a family already cannot afford 3 meals, paying bills already got headache, children school already got problems....where got time to join RC????

angel7030 SG

u dunno what is knn then how u know it's diry word leh?? and hk ppl like to start every sentences with diu diu diu.. i like to start with knn knn knn lor...

i only know those F and F,...by knn is funny, somemore can give by percentage...i thot when coupld have sex,..they go all the way till the end....how can do it in percentage??? like you said...knn 10%??

angel7030 SG

Just tell me, who in singapore is hungry?? we have plenty of food, as i alway said, live by your means, if you cannot afford, dun over do it. Paying bills is part and parcel of life all over the world, not only in Singapore...everywhere you go, you see people cursing their govt on tax and bills, because govt is alway taken as default of all their problems.

But if we will look at ourselves, where are we now and where are we heading next, what to save and what to spent, how to upgrade, where to learn better skill and knowledge,....where to get the best bargain, we will be better off instead of keep saying these and that....on the govt, which in fact, got no solution to it.

Just like a storm is coming,...go out collect you cloth, shut the door, call in your dogs, close the window, prepare some hot coffee or tea, make yourself cosy on your favourite massage chair..do all these instead of keep blaming the weather, the storm, the rain, the lighting...etc etc,..which will not solve your problem.

Most people fail to plan their lives, and end up blaming the govt?? it is fair??? we provide top education, opportunities for all races, skill upgrading, re-skilling and knowledge facilites, job matching agencies, a roof above everyone head, a peace and harmonious environment for you to grow and excel in whatever endeavour you pursue on. What more do you want?? help carry you to bed and tell stories for you to sleep??? please lah..dig your own bait and fish for yourself ya

angel7030,

plenty of food in spore???plenty of expensive food in spore u mean!one kg of pork how much in spore??/and how come they sell meat in spore thats normally thrown away in most countries????we have p[lenty of food....or garbage food!chuinks off meat thats condemned and way too expensive at that...we have plenty of those in spore!

angel7030 SG

angel7030,

No lah, sometime i go church buffets, temple veg foods and Sri Maniam briyani also free mah...there are alot of philanthropists in singapore, they know that they make money because of the peaceful and harmony society that give them the opportunities to makes money, so it is need to return some to the society ya, so they sponsor all these foodies,,,with fruit too, wha, very nice leh, bangalas and indian workers alway go there to eat leh...only stupid singaporeans go for expensive food??

Hitman_ SG

how much the transport to temple????$4.50 return ticket

so even if free food...the total cost would be $4.50 for free meal due to transport!so its still quite expensive in spore

Hitman_ SG

and where do these temples get money from?

if the china and indian werkers come all the waywerk and find no werk or enough money .....then why stay here in spore when they have so much money to fly all the way to spore and ebnd up eating flee food???

chances are that these werkers are even stupider as they cantt figure out money for tomorrows food....if thats the case then they should go back to country of origin.if they dun earn enough money then why stay ina place where they cant survive n ens up eating food for the needy!! pretty soon wspore will be a nation of beggars,vagrant eople in rags from every single poor country ON THE PLANET

if THEY DO NOT WERK.....THEY DO NOT GET FREE MEALS!IF THEY DO NOT WERK ENOUGH....THEY WILL DIE.construction werkers with inda diet will never build a wall or concrete complexes like in china!those diet has not enpughmeat to build a wall in time!

in china all their construction workers wear grey uniform ,wear crash helmets and are clean shaven.

are u sure those people in temple are construction workers and not homeless people from china ,india and afghanistan?they dont lookmlike construction werkers and those temple diet cant make them werk enough...so what are they eating for and what are they building with that kinda meagre diet!??
