Message: <blockquote data-quote="GT3" data-source="post: 2302905" data-attributes="member: 10183">meraboy, unfortunately my fren, u got the whole point of my post wrong (before I even clarify my point, lets jus say that I do agree with something in ur post) anyway, my whole point is not talking abt where is cheaper, I mean if I were to say that I would probably say we live in some poorer countries for cheaper goods. Instead my point is, disposable income, purchasing power and standard of living, while they are different in certain ways they are however closely link, let me elaborate in the following paragraph let use back the same example, UK. Dispoble income after conversion is alot higher compared to msia, but if you work there, and therefore pay the tax there, and hence pay for all other living expenses there, ask yourself or rather your relative, what is the amount left? I dont think its much more than the disposable income that she will earned if she work locally (of coz like u said, don convert). Therefore eventually, what can u buy with ur remaining income? obviously if you earn in £, branded item such as LV from France isnt much of an issue (for currency exchange reason, which fall nicely to your argument regarding conversion) but if u say less branded stuff, chances is u will probably get same quantity or even quality of goods compared to say living in Msia, therefore is it a better standard of living? I doubt.. (assuming your a relatively new workforce, u will probably earn enuff to stay outskirt in some low rent house, spend most money on commuting, food and communication, phone calls are not cheap in UK btw, and more importantly pay higher tax, eventually leave u not much to spend on ur own).. that is even before we factor in the saving issue then come to white elepant/mega project, while I do not agree with these project to some extent, it happens.. enron for instance is a good example things could still go wrong in advance country, there are many more less famous examples which I read, but unfortunately dont recall the names of this case now back to cars, i stated clearly cars are overpriced in Msia in my previous post, therefore showing me examples of car prices in Thai does not exactly prove anything my fren, apart from supporting my statement now back to progress, of coz if money is spend at the right way things move forward quicker.. then again, whole msia have to be genius and saints for it to work, unfortunately again, we are not and we tend to make mistake for occasionaly stupidity or for some selfish reason then about opinions, well I did again mention reflecting your thought is not a bad idea (in my previous post) so clearly Im not against speaking out.. but dwelling in it then its kinda waste of time.. so if u LINK it back to my point above, spend these time and energy in the PROPER way (the way u describe) and move on, change something, be it small or big, at least you contribute (and who knows, u might even benefit from it) p/s: kinda expect your reaction after I direct my previous post to u, but just be objective and not emotional before u comment, jus read my post slower and understand what im trying to say.. not saying u will definately agree but at least we would not then argue on things in a complete irrelevant manner (plus Im actually kinda lazy to reply, did so becoz I believe u kinda twisted my words)</blockquote>
