Migrating

[Ncss]

Don't like that la... I don't know what p8p tactics. We are not arguing also... there is no win or lose. Just exchange opinion nia leh...

 

I also never say I am always right leh... there is no right or wrong, just discussing on a preference land to live in ...

For me, I will choose a place with lower tax in a nice city... , of course there maybe some bad policy but as long as overall is generally good can liao...

Maybe when I gets older, I will migrate depends on situation...

 

key point is, when you get older and intend to migrate, no country will take you in..

[UncleWolve]

I still find 40% unacceptable...

 

Moreover, everything you buy, they tax another 17.5% VAT again...

Which mean your total tax is around 57.5%... WTF, more than HALF of your hard earn $ goes to tax .

 

At London, I cannot drink 60cent koppi O and 60cent yummy rotti prata... and also my $2.50 Lasak and Lor Mee.

 

You have your own destiny, some ppl find there better which I also think London is a wonderful place except the tax system.

But my choice is clear (S'pore) as I don't want pay so much tax and I don't want depart with my friends and family.

 

I don;t think Singapore tax system is any better. Everyone have their own opinion and its good that you think singapore is a great place to live in.

 

 

Some people havent tasted sh.it thinks shi.t is nicer than urine cos they are waist deep in urine... untill they really tasted sh.it then will they learn.. SIngapore is like a well.. many frogs wanna jump out.. waste time

Depends on where you go to.

If he gets older but has good savings, there should be no problem in going to Thailand for retirement.

Not really, many old Singaporeans are adapting very well in Batam.

So well that they can set up second homes there.

i noticed u were in UK for a short while.

 

just to further add on what u have said abt london and the benefits....

 

the UK garment has learnt to be smarter in giving out free 'dough' to those jobless.

 

in the past, those jobless ppl just collect the free 'dough' from garment.

 

now, the garment had fine tuned this welfare system by making those jobless ppl to justify why they need the free 'dough' while waiting for a job.

 

those jobless ppl got to register in the jobs centre, making efforts to go for interviews, talk to the job counsellors, write in to apply for suitable jobs.

 

it means the free 'dough' is not that FOC anymore..... the jobless ppl got to report to the garment that they did make efforts on a regular basis to find jobs, before the garment agrees to give the free 'dough' to them.

 

this is good coz it cuts down on social burden and it makes those jobless ppl not to be lazy, and yet the garment is still having this social welfare system for those truly unfortunate ppl.

 

 

another labor law in UK is those companies are not allowed to sacked or retrench those old ppl or those on maternity leave. the garment is very strict on this.

 

even for a general retrenchment of staff, the garment will step in and make the companies justify why they need to retrench ppl, and the garment will make it hard for companies to retrench. in UK, its very difficult for companies to retrench or sack staff.

 

the MOM ppl there will often make surprise companies visits to check on their HR records (to check on the minimum wages, staff welfare and the conditions the staff is working in).

 

they dun ask the boss to go down to MOM to lim kopi. they, out of surprise, will bring this surprise kopi to the company office and lim with the boss there.

 

 

in spore, WTF....

there is no min. wages

companies can suka suka sack old ppl

companies can suka suka retrench ppl

our MOM doesnt care abt the companies HR policy or records, until someone write in to complain

 

 

'ncss', this is more info for you to see what other countries are doing, comparing to our spore garment is doing....

 

its a world of difference.........

 

Thats what i like about UK. I worked in a UK company, i talk to them everyday and i have 2 of my very good friends who are both english.. they told me everything about UK and to them, their tax sys sucks and they too complain that their taxes goes toward feeding people who doesn't want to work ... but to me, i weigh the difference... there is no perfect system for every country but seeing the difference between taking care of people and leaving people to die, i rather have my money spent feeding useless people.. at least it doesn't leave out those people who are seriously in need of assistance.

i have to agree with this.

[Gz0707]

guess all this depends on ur priorities ... my frens who graduated in aussie tried to stay on but failed to for some reason - they moved back to msia and ended up here now cos of education system - for the kids.

 

my guess is ur motivation has to really overide all other factors and obstacles that u will face, otherwise it may not work out.

[Slowmo]

tried to stay on coz visa different and no $ ma. study there also not cheap. somemore you mention malaysia, the exchange rate itself alone will die standing already.

 

if u stay cbd, shared rental AUD$200/wk excluding food, mobile, broadband and a typical degree is AUD16000-18000 per 2 semaster. Transport easily $28/wk.

 

Student visa cannot work beyond X number of hours / week btw. if found out, visa cancell.
