I think people like the TS is either stupid or really retarded
or just trying to twist the data to deceive people. Personally, I
will give him the benefit of the doubt to think he's not stupid or
retarded, just trying to deceive people.
To just put a data out like that is not fair because for
example, in those countries, you can buy a car for $20k. In
Singapore, $20k can't even get you the CHEAPEST car. Why didn't TS
point that out? Is he retard or stupid, this I don't know.
Also, he miss out alot of important data points, such as in New
York, the Programmer salary annually is USD$93,000. In Singapore,
that's totally reduced to SGD$30000. Please also note that 93k is
in USD, not SGD mentioned for the $30k. For Christ sake, if we
are making close to $100k, we won't complain about Singapore
taxi fare lah, use your bloody brain!!!
What TS is trying to do is manipulate a set of data to suit his
argument with huge bias, either through his stupidity or his
retarded or he's just out to cheat people.
I also can do it easily... My friend's grandfather lives
till 105 years old, he's a smoker. Steve Jobs died of cancer at age
50+ and he's a non-smoker. So from this data, we can say if you
smoke, you can live to a long age. If you don't smoke, even if you
are damn rich, you will die of cancer before 60. LOL!!!
Please stop manipulating data to cheat people. Thanks!

Hmm.. Read my post carefully i never say Singapore cab
fare cheap or expensive. In Singapore people want higher standard
of service and living, but they expect low price, hence the
comparison to india against the more develop countries like
NY, Paris, etc...
If you wat to compare car price to other country take into the
account the size of the country. If car price dirt cheap in
singapore i cant imagine the how the jam would be. Peak hour for me
to drive from Ubi to Jurong sometimes takes me 1hr. Come out of my
office carpark jam liao.
One reason why the pay there higher also depends on the skills
they have. A good Programmer in Singapore also can get higher pay,
not as high as in US though. Singapore Degree holder in IT line for
example all cannot make it! I've been in IT line for past 11yrs.
When i compare with the knowledge and skills of the guys i've deal
with from US and UK, Singapore degree holder with same number of
yrs experience cant even come close.
If want to compare, Singapore with US & Europe, yes their
pay higher. They don't have CPF, but their GST/VAT higher, UK VAT
15%. Income tax higher, US$40k gross income, income tax US$4k+,
food more ex... Take taxi also must pay tip, like in NY taxi tip is
10-20%, eat or drink in cafe also must pay tip. Not like in
Singapore tip optional, give tip also give loose change, down there
they expect you pay tip!
Yes living in Singapore is expensive! I also don't like how the
men in white run the country. But consumers demands high standard,
high standard of living = higher cost.
People complain here jam there jam, no parking. COE go up, ERP
go up. Anything go up everything else will go up. Passengers
complain taxi service sucks, taxi company get fine, end up
passenger pay the price. COE go up, taxi rental go up.
There are good and bad living in other countries, i choose to
stay in Singapore when most of my relatives are in Canada,
Australia, Sweden, Dubai and Kuala Lumpur.
I don't go around complaining like some, complaining and doing
nothing about it kindda pointless.
Why i want to drive Taxi? Why not.. Because my last ICT, one
camp mate outside pay $3k, drive taxi part time also. Taxi driver
pay use for retirement savings. Another OMO, then got another guy
work for some petrochemical company, driving BMW 6 Coupe also want
to take TDVL
