Sosaria Turbocharged May 30, 2014 Share May 30, 2014 Hong Kong lagi best! and i thought HK is quite open! would you want to be a malaysian? Don't be surprised at HK... how do you think those tycoons prosper?? Sure got lot of 'under-table' envelopes going around. To cultivate friends / cronies in high places. This is how the mainlanders do business... guanxi guanxi, you know. Malaysia's bar graph is interesting... almost 100% crony wealth! Malaysian not too bad lah... if you look at their city people such as in KL, they lack nothing and in fact, in some areas, have more lifestyle choices than us. Plus, can still come to singapore, earn SGD and become FT! Best of both worlds. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPF is good only in the sense that you can purchase your home (HDB) without a huge cash outlay. And further on, installments can also be paid in CPF. All well and nice, provided a person keeps his job. That's why it's also a great scheme for keeping people in line and fostering a "healthy" working environment without the industrial strife seen in other countries. When everybody fears for his job (losing it means losing CPF and the bank will come calling), nobody will want trouble.

Joseph22 Turbocharged May 30, 2014 Share May 30, 2014 Got Singaporean Chinese get Malaysian citizenship approved? GLC. TLC got hands in too many biz? If I am not wrong. GLC easily produce 40% of our Singapore work. CPF is good only in the sense that you can purchase your home (HDB) without a huge cash outlay. And further on, installments can also be paid in CPF. All well and nice, provided a person keeps his job. Isn't it all the same? Hong Kong one loss job even worse. Their boss who sack them can pay compensation using the employee "cpf" not really good IMO. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
