oxford mushroom SG nobody owes us a living...you want to take more money out of medisave, more cash in hand and what will you do when you retire? Our workers are already paid more than those in many other countries and our productivity isn't all that great either. Accept a lower standard of living, upgrade your skills for a better job or emigrate to a cheaper third world country lor

dragg SG there is no way to prove this statement. hongkongers and taiwanese take the full salary home. they do not have cpf too. do all hongkongers and taiwanese end up without a single cent at retirement?
ShutterBug SG Yah right, lower standard of living, but with high costs! Wonder how does this balance up? You try upgrading yourself around 50 and above - see how you feel. Not EVERYONE wants to be an egg-head like LKY. Unless you are one like him who believes in turning this into a country of ELITES!
ShutterBug SG Correct, NOBODY owes us a living. BUT, a team of bodies owes us ways to make a living or at least a less costlier place to live in!!
king108 SG Sorry for the interruption, but put it fairly. Singapore is an open market, if you think you can make the money legally..I doubt anyone can stopped you. I am no so capable so I respected anyone that it able to earn that amount. I will also respect all if you can earn a decent living rightfully. Don't stop people when you are not able to get it. It's only sounded like sour grapes..
ShutterBug SG Have you every heard of an Honest Business?? I have NEVER. Has there ever been Honest Politics? It never existed.
ShutterBug SG A friend once told me when I started business years ago; "If you are too honest, you will not make any money." To this day, I've been a very successful liar. I need to survive - THIS, is an honest endevour.
king108 SG Regardless of what you believed. I believed in Honest business and that final..I don't cheat, I don't bride..As long as I can earn a honest living..I sleep well peacefully at night. Competion is expected..but must you be dishonest???. I don't and don't needed to. I will respect you as a successful businessman, but don't ask me to respect your personalities..because it's really corroded.. At least I still have many friends having coffee talk with me..have you any good friends around..I doubted. Money is a lot there..depended how you earn it. If you used the wrong way..it's matter of time..someone will come after you. I wouldn't be bother.. Well. I wished you many successful year ahead..and to your good health..
king108 SG Yes, I agreed that to do business you needed to survive..I strongly agreed with that.. If doing business mean to betray your good honesty, it's either you are not make to do business or only your honesty can be replaced by money.. You are honest to say that you are a liar... Please let us know when you are telling the true..
ShutterBug SG You know, I think you should read more books and mags. Then, you'd undestand my statements.
king108 SG I admitted that I studied no much...but that does not make me believing in dishonest to make a living..You think all singaporeans are no honest?
king108 SG I appreciated if we can come back to the thread agian..let talk about cash.. Which we know is the KING.. for those employees that fall within the category..
ShutterBug SG Hey dragg, You should know the meaning of "dishonesty" in businesses. Even in an 'Honest Business', some degree of "dishonesty" is involved. Example; Would DELL computers, tell customers that IBM PCs are better??
dragg SG i agree fully. in fact all humans are dishonest one way or the other. it is just a matter of definition.
