accidental double post.. post deleted.. look below.

bangkokboy SG

After being in Singapore for so long, I must say working in Bangkok is certainly a breather.

People who are envious of the low cost of living in Bangkok must think again. They actually earn less (much less), so technically their cost of living is same as that in Singapore. However what make Bangkok much different from Singapore is basically the increase, inflations don't come as fast and furious as in Singapore.

Our government is smart, they know singaporeans only can complain in coffee shop... nothing else. Try that in other countries and TAH-TAH, you get a new government in the next elections. They give out "freebies" to tide people over the tax increases... smart move. It's like me giving you free drugs, knowing that you will need to buy from me when your kick comes... Rolling Eyes

I was only in Bangkok for 2 months and I've heard that the GST and transport fares are up. Mmh is there anything else I am missing? Except for my family, not much I guess.

Ok ba, good to hear that without much of this education, you can still be earning so much. =)

Actually not really heartless govt ba, compare to others, our is quite ok. These are money, they gives us the opportunities to earn that much if you can, they never force anyone to work there.

Would you rather have the opportunities to earn so much rather than being poor in some countries without knowing how to earn these bucks in your whole life?

LazerLordz SG

I'll give you a few years, you might retract those opinions. Wink

Hocklez SG

ya i was thinking of that too. oh well, at least our life is better than that in neighbouring countries.

No one taught us that life is easy right? =)

Gedanken SG

Well, ain't that just so sweet. What's your next money-making recommendation, MLMs? Laughing

As usual, you present only one side of the story, conveniently leaving out the parts that don't fit your view of the world. Good thing we have people like boredtulan, who unlike you has actually been in that environment, to keep you honest. Mr. Green

I never figured it was possible for you to slide even further down in my estimation, but if you're now recommending something you wouldn't do yourself, you've hit a new low.

vito_corleone SG

but in the eyes of the miw tax man, all are equal Twisted Evil Laughing

niceguy_123 SG

These are only the top few percents.. don’t envy. There are still many low-wages earner in Singapore.

miserable SG

Guys,guys....please do not envy these people. They do have a tough life and really work hard for every penny they get.

I know it becos I once earned above 100+ k per year but now I am almost penniless. I was out of job due to a major global takeover last year. As a 40+ person, I decided to start my personal trading but after a few bad call, I was badly hit and decided to call it a day. Then I realised that many of the traders of like me are at the verge of bankruptcy,some even start a career of a taxi driver.

This is not like of a MP's job where you can almost consider it as an '"iron rice bowl career", it is really a survival of the fittest. If you can perform,you will be well rewarded else out you go. Sad

The joke here is even we have more 500k in our CPF yet, we cannot use it when we need it most till 20 years later. Crying or Very sad

antoh SG

well nothing i can see singapore better

walesa SG

It's tantamount to corruption in disguise. Then again, they have the backing of the Constitution - have you? Laughing

ShutterBug SG

The so called "Constitution" here is meant for the MIW.

For us, they let us have "Constipations"....

oxford mushroom SG

Nope...the financial sector is far to tough for you to handle...but if you need a job, I don't mind letting you wash test tubes for me Mr. Green

As usual, you present only one side of the story, conveniently leaving out the parts that don't fit your view of the world. Good thing we have people like boredtulan, who unlike you has actually been in that environment, to keep you honest. Mr. Green

No pain no gain...if you cannot handle the stress like boredtulan, you cannot expect to earn that kind of money.

I never figured it was possible for you to slide even further down in my estimation, but if you're now recommending something you wouldn't do yourself, you've hit a new low.

Thank God for that...if you can think like me I would have to be a mental patient like you. Why should I have to consider switching jobs when I have something better? Plenty of good jobs around for those who are able and willing...

Gedanken SG

As usual, you miss the obvious. He's actually been in an IB. You, as always, talk big without actually having done anything - it's hilarious to see you post like you're pretending to be the big shot making the dosh. Laughing

Looking at your pitiful level of ability, if you can be a *ahem* doctor, anyone can. Why not recommend medicine to people here? There are a lot of people here who are smarter than you and can obviously do your job better. Step aside and stop taking up precious space in the profession, if you are indeed that interested in helping people on this forum. Laughing

sgFish SG

o.O wad’s with all the antagonism between you two?

sonic_16 SG

briefly browse through the posts. Is the underlying idea from those who are unhappy "fairness"?

There's no such thing as "fair". Not in sg's system, not in US's or any other countries.

If one is unhappy that he's earning $60Kpa, then why not change to something $700Kpa? BUT, one must be able to take the stress level.

An just out of uni engineer can get $2500 a month, but a just out of uni engineer working as a sales consultant at a bank can get perhaps $8000 a month, BUT 3 months of not hitting the sales targets, he's fired.

The world rewards individuals who perform their best in the CORRECT industry. What do i mean by CORRECT?
Let me illustrate:
1. Do you know Singapore Bowling was World Number 1 a few years back? Local bowler Remy Ong was world number 1, local bowleress Jasmine (forgot surname) was also world number 1 sometime back. How many sporeans know? What is their remeuration?

2. Compare soccer, Brazil. World number 1. How much do you think the worst bench warmer in brazil's team is paid?

So the bowlers should complain why are they not being paid the same as the soccer players?

Nothing is fair. Complaining against the government isn't going to get you anything. They're there, and the will still be there. Complaining isn't going to get you anywhere. As my another friend said "ya,ya complain, comment, whatever, I closed another $13K sales in the 2 hours you spent surfing the net."

Well said, well said indeed.

"Everyone is responsible for their own destiny. You decide what you become by what you think, what you do and what your attitudes are."

Gedanken SG

He posts piffle, I have my jollies poking holes in his "theories" and "conclusions", and he throws his toys out of the pram, claims flaming and worms his way out of explaining himself. It's been happening since I first pointed out his fallacies ages ago.

Gedanken SG

Well and good, sonic. I can't say anything against the sprirt of your post because I've never had a problem making money myself, and I do agree that opportunities go to those who can recognise one when they see it.

However, as you would be aware, the clause in the pledge relating to achieving "happiness, prosperity and progress" in itself shows that it's the responsibility of everybody, the government more than anybody else, to achieve said happiness, prosperity and progress.

The issue here is not that people are unhappy. The issue is that people are unhappy and the government is derelict in its duty to recognise and address these issues.

If you think about the concept of government, it is to govern, not to make money for the nation and certainly not to make money for themselves. Are they really doing their job?

miserable SG

Hi Gedenken, how is life Down Under ? Hope all are fine at home. Very Happy

I noticed you have the habit of paying attention to that Mushroom's postings. Piece of advice I think we are better off doing something more significant than talking to an Oxford moron who is always on the high with those mushrooms from Koh Samui. Shocked

Btw Happy season greeting to you and your family Laughing

boredtulan SG

i think you got it mixed up....

did I say I couldn't handle it?

Life is too short to be spent obsessing on material wealth

fymk SG

People people, what have you all not learnt? Psilocybe mushroom is growing in UK. Go get your hallucogenic mushrooms there and see the fantasy .
