Limited perspective again.
I know of people working as waiters getting $1,000 a week, a month
would be around $4,000 to $5,000.
Quite a narrow view of the world again by the blinkered
Gazelle.
It's alot like those Chinamen coming over Singapore to work, but of
course Singapore is the last destination of choice. If they had
other choice like Japan, USA, Germany, Australia, Hawaii, etc, they
won't choose Singapore.
Your statement is equivalent to a Chinaman telling his comrades in
China, that Singapore might be a good place to holiday, but not a
good place to work. A typical Chinaman will get around RMB 1,000 to
RMB 2,000 in China, depending on the industry he works in. In
Singapore, if he gets SGD 1,000, it will translate to RMB 5,000.
You have tunnel vision syndrome. 
Singapore is the only country for you, if Singapore does not exist
you can't survive in other 1st world democracies like Switzerland,
Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway, etc.
You are a typical equivalent North Korean singing praises about
their regime.
