of coz there r problems and difficulties when one started out in
the foreign land. i wont deny that. i spent quite a great deal of
time to get to know the legal procedures such as obtaining business
licence, taxation, manpower recruiting, etc and most importantly,
to get into the good books of the local govt officials.
now can see some positive results there already. where can give me
the wealth, of coz i say where good lah.
i'm not complaining abt s'pore, juz to re-emphasise that. i admit
that i dont really like s'pore, but i dont complain. i juz quietly
find a way out, and it so happened to be in china.
when someone find a greener pastures elsewhere, why not move on?
it's juz the same as changing jobs, to get a higher salary, to try
a different working environment, to engage onto a new set of
challenges. the only major difference is that mine is on an
international scale.
s'pore actually not totally a bad place at all, where crime rate is
low, standard of living is not bad compared to neighbouring
countries and china. but then, cost of living also high, especially
cars, housing, etc.
but one thing good abt s'pore is its reputation internationally.
when the mainland chinese know that i'm a s'porean, they very
happy. coz their impression of a s'porean is honest (corrupt-free
country), easygoing and rich. it's easier to get into business
partnerships than any other foreigners there. and of coz, there r
some scheming chinese who see s'poreans as "carrot head" and try to
see if they can cheat ur money or anything they can. there's always
2 sides of a coin loh.
yes, china might be a big balloon waiting to burst, but nobody
knows when? maybe tomolo? maybe next year? maybe 5, 10 or 50 years
later? but at least now i see more hope there than here. so before
the balloon burst, make as much as i can loh.
if the so-called balloon burst in china, u think s'pore will not
suffer? the domino effect will surely hit the whole asian economy
like a tidal wave, including japan. so what's the difference
between s'pore and china?
who knows? maybe i could have fled to europe or america to start
from scratch all over again. but at least i gain my experience from
the failure i've been thru.
