Kb27 Supersonic May 20, 2016 Share May 20, 2016 Locals are not hungry enough and demand too much. So move all the jobs away to more hungry people. Get used to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kangadrool Supersonic May 21, 2016 Share May 21, 2016 (edited) These places aren't exactly cheap or cheaper than SG in total operating costs. What you get is abundance of labour and land at cheaper rates than in SG. Other costs besides labour and land aren't cheap and there are many hidden costs. You may need to pay extra to ensure 24/7/365 electricity supply. Edited May 21, 2016 by Kangadrool 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One instance I even heard of the ops being brought back eventually n they hired a whole lot of contract staff to clean up which took months!This has exactly happened to a number of shipping companies that offshored their b/l documentation there. Imagine SG shippers pay ridiculous sgd80 per bl, but get sh1t service. End up, SG staff need to spend loads of time to follow up. Some shipping cos have actually pulled out within short few months after doing it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo pein wages to exp... N gov initiative to train local.. Not working.. Local only know how to manage n do admin work..all in opex 50% of SG.. N that is good enough... SG workers lack Skills n competencies like: (1) coding (2) basic & translational engineering (3) broadmindness (4) adaptability (5) cultural emphaty Edited May 21, 2016 by BenTong 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some places you end up with poor quality work and lots of rework (and loss of blood) - these are some of the hidden costs bro Kangadrool is probably referring to. For businesses where technology plays a small part, its not visible. For businessess where technology drives much of its value, its a nightmare. Your 5 points are a reflection of the mindset cultivated by our schools and society bro - just not attractive enough to be seen doing all these lol especially point 1. There are still some around that meet your criteria, just not at 30% of local wages. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality unfortunately not worse off than SG. really not sure whether it's the quality or relevance of our education institution or our local grads.. Anyway as a business owner, bottom line can only be supported by talent,quality and costs.. SG costs structure is worrying. Uncle also started Cafe business in Tokyo.. surprisingly costs in Tokyo is 10% cheaper than SG. Now that worries me for SG workforce..
