Life is REALLY Tough in Singapore.......

[Slide!]

lower income tax too. but this is a car forum, and my guess is that the average singaporean cant even afford to buy a car.
here at least owning a car is not such a big deal. most anybody can afford a myvi.

Owh another reason why I prefer SG is that you can use world class sports facilities over there.

There are many soccer sized artifical pitch all over the island no matter if its for school, education or sports complex. Heck, even the HDB flats has their own artifical pitch!

Here in Malaysia, today you can see a big green soccer field and a year later...there will be a condo/shop lots built over it.

lots of pretty girls

I second this statement. Tips : always wear ur sunglasses when ur on a walk along Orchard road :rolleyes:

well, personally i like singapore just that i dun like some of the singaporean there...wakaka....i said SOME oo,lolz

Their media really does overplay the Singaporeans fear of coming to M'sia. My relatives are all terrified because of the Ferrari robbery la, shopping center robbery la and all those "hundreds of snatch thefts". They even seem to have this impression that in M'sia, when you get robbed you're guaranteed to be raped if you're a girl.

Man.. a little too much shelter is bad for their health.

I'm a Malaysian who work in Singapore and I realized living costs in Malaysia is getting more and more ridiculous that is almost equal to the 2.5 exchange rate. Prices for housing and real estate have also went up crazily. I think our government don't really give a shit to the rest of the moderate and poor people. You never know if you never live here before.

I don't think ownership of car is a fair ruler to measure. Simply because if cars were cheap in Singapore and everybody could afford it, the island would simply sink.

To feel what's like living in Malaysia...after graduation, take some time off and come here for vacation+working part time. Well of course, can't be picky on the jobs...

 

[vr2turbo]

Yup, test water first, like it, stay on. Don't like, go back.....

 

[cvkit17]

And try not to Kena Lou lap when u r here....

 

[20V Trumpeteer]

hehehe...dont be so sad...

"hujan emas di negeri orang,
hujan batu di negeri sendiri,
Lebih baik di negeri seniri"

becoz...hari raya is so happening here...with ketupat, lemang, rendang, dodol and other delicacies....also lot of relatives would join, only if u are here...but if u are abroad, little or nobody would join u...if juz across the causeway, still acceptable la...still can be reach by car, bus etc...no need to spend huge money to travel...I believe we still stand here coz of our family bonding...else, maybe we fly somewhere edy...right?

Not easy, live in JB and work in SG is worse than going to KL to work every morning and going home after work....

Have friends or people I know did that..Imagine waking up at 6am in the morning is bad enough or 5.30am, some who lives
in JB have to wake up as early as 4am and start their journey at around 4 - 5am the most, if not the Jam will be real bad.

What's more when going home...jam till late night, eat, bathe and sleep. So in the end, I don't think is worth doing so...

We always think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence... But as far as I know, the best country to live in is the Scandinavian countries like Sweden and Denmark, according to surveys.
