Pretty? Sure???dollar for dollar, Singapore has a lower cost of living.
CPF management is great there, once approved buying a house is easy there and direct deduction from CPF is highly convenient, access to quality education and quality items is great, lots of pretty girls and the fact that the currency is so strong makes travelling overseas a relatively "cheap" affair.
The only other thing I don't really appreciate is the compulsary 2 years national service. The males come out 2 years older but still studying whereas the females are already earning an income.
Singapore isn't that bad.
That's what I thought also. I've been there a few times. They know how to 'style' it more.Ermmm....I would not say many pretty girls there...but I would say that Singapore girls know how to dress themselves. Mostly
No matter what.....Ermmm....I would not say many pretty girls there...but I would say that Singapore girls know how to dress themselves. Mostly
Apa barang..? I tarak paham worNo matter what.....
The "barang" is the same.....
Be it Singaporean, be it Malaysian....
haha.....
You got major shopping center, the MY girls also dress well mah! all sorts also have.....Ermmm....I would not say many pretty girls there...but I would say that Singapore girls know how to dress themselves. Mostly
Actually whatever country, you earn enough, sure okay one......Apa barang..? I tarak paham wor
If one can earn god income...of course it is better coz of better purchasing power like satanic in Indonesia while earning sgd...but if earn rupiah...sure different story haha..unless also earning high rupiah
Dear bro escksu,Just whining....
Life is really tough here. Pay so low, everything so expensive. Still have to compete with those foreigners from Pinoy land, India....... Have to constantly study and upgrade to get some stupid toilet paper........
Lessons ended not long for for me today....ZzZzZz...... So tired in class, dozing off...... sigh......
Seriously, sometimes when I look across the causeway I really eny you Malaysians....... Life is so much better. Things also cheaper, petrol cheaper, housing, car, even daily needs (rice, oil etc...) also much cheaper......Got gov subsidies. Healthcare cheap also.
I feel here is like my gov suck me dry and left me out to die.......... Everything so expensive....
I believe many would still want to live in own country. Coz there's where we grow up, where we do idiotic things when we were teenagers, and where we have the most friends. Home sweet homeDear bro escksu,
I don't know if this will make you feel any better but you're definitely not alone!
I am pretty much in the same situation as you except that I am down under.
What makes it worse is the fact that I have to pay around AUD$500 in tax + super every fortnight minus the fact that I have to some times endure racial abuses and unfair treatment at the workplace.
Nevertheless, Malaysia is where my heart is. I'll reclaim her once my contract is over!!!!
Not really, frankly, my pay is only a miserable 2.2K per month...... Counting in OT I get around just 2.4-2.5K..... Thats very very little and barely sufficient to survive in SG where things are so expensive.But pay packet is big. right?
But your pay packet should be pretty huge.....Dear bro escksu,

Oh! if SGD2.2k only, then not that much.....Not really, frankly, my pay is only a miserable 2.2K per month...... Counting in OT I get around just 2.4-2.5K..... Thats very very little and barely sufficient to survive in SG where things are so expensive.
oh.. 2.2K isn't much. I thought you are getting around 4-5K then that is much better.Not really, frankly, my pay is only a miserable 2.2K per month...... Counting in OT I get around just 2.4-2.5K..... Thats very very little and barely sufficient to survive in SG where things are so expensive.
Yup, money or a good way of life?Not easy life in SG whereby a lot of us Malaysians dying to migrate or even work there to get a PR.
Double the pay in terms of currency but still bores down the same thing. Unless u willing to sacrifice time and energy staying in JB.
Then wake up 4.30am in the morning to drive to Singapore...Reach home after mandi makan, adi 10pm. Next day repeat the same again. More money...worth it to do so? Still at the end of the day. Is just the same.
Just have to look at the positive things of your country then u will feel better, though is not much but if were to compare with
poorer or worse countries, Singapore and Malaysia is a better place to live in...
Yes, cuz is just a job that will last until you retire. Unless you are saying a career/job that only take few years to sacrifice for a better life..then is worth it.Yup, money or a good way of life?
My wife's cousin just resigned from her better paying job. She used to work in PJ, stays in Klang. Then got good offer to work in KL. Lasted 6 months only. Seems she goes to work early in the morning, before her kids even wakes up, and by the time she gets back the kids have gone to bed, so she decided to resign from that job....
Depends on how one manage, some manage until suffer like hell just to go to a place as holiday.depend on ur spending power as well, i got few frens earning normal sing dollar 2.4k, live in singapore, manage to even go for a holiday, guess money management is more imp...
Not only holidays. Keeping up with the Jones is worse. Two of my sales personnel likes changing cars, carries the latest gadgets, phones etc., and both have trouble with Card payment. Recently one even went into hiding. Seems he borrowed a lot from Ah Long. Some staffs also lent him money, so all burnt.....Depends on how one manage, some manage until suffer like hell just to go to a place as holiday.
Then some come back, full of debts...
More examples in my company...u can hear them saying go travel here and there...come back
complain got lot of debts need to settle...
I don't call that life. Live within your means is more like it and work your way up
towards what you want. Not spend Future Money and then start complaining/whining or some
even end up forever in debts until they retire...
Credit Card = Licensed Ah Long only...in fact interest is high as well.
I guess you still have to shave of the 20% CPF contributions right if you are PR/resident.. so ya, if with that amount it's a bit hard to stay alive here but if with some good monetary management you should still be able to pull through.. just like my fren 1 month basic only $1.6k add OT only about $2k but he still manages to buy a yamaha Fazer bike.. but of course he is single la.. :)Not really, frankly, my pay is only a miserable 2.2K per month......

Bro it depends what kinda work you are dealing with, not necessary to wake up at 4:30am except those factory workers who starts shift work at 7am or 8am. I myself start work between 8:30~9:00am and gets up at 6:15am latest still manages to arrive at work place by taking bus + mrt (provided mrt doesn't break down la..haha).. and this has been 8yrs of travelling for me from jb-sg.. been used to it already.. even now you ask me to stay in sg i also will not use too.. it's too boring where i can't drive my car out here and have mamak with my frens..Not easy life in SG whereby a lot of us Malaysians dying to migrate or even work there to get a PR.
