    Eh... if you're Asian, probably get a bit less? I think still got some differentiation? At least that's what I heard from a family friend there lar... more of their kids working the supermarket and getting less than what other 'whites' get... not sure if it's the race thing or just the experience or both...

    Hm I heard about this since way back not sure about it but I think it may mainly applies to working in Asian restaurants or eateries or super markets or mini marts. Any other place's like the bubble tea shops etc  normally will pay at least the minimum wage if not more for casual work.

    Family likes it and for breakfast there’s limited choice 

    all western and often lunch is the same boring fish and chips etc so my MIL wants some Asian haha 

    Very few Asian places open for breakfast 

    I guess we want to save money and eat bread or maggi at home

    its amazing that workers and office staff will not bat an eyelid to spend $6 for a morning coffee 😮💨 

    Australia has some of the highest minimum wages in developed world so their purchasing power is much higher than in Singapore . Easily 20 aud plus per hour minimum wage by now. Think it’s about 23 plus AUD for any kind of job be it temp job or casual contract.

    Gen 11 Civic in Malaysia>> best seller, in Singapore >> hardly any sold. What a contrast. 🤣. Somemore Singapore spec one is detuned for Cat A. Pay more for less, uniquely sinkapore

    But cars is 3-2-2-2….van is every year.

    Not troublesome meh?

    CPIB should investigate as it has happened before.

    https://www.cpib.gov.sg/press-room/press-releases/vehicle-inspector-facing-corruption-charges/

    This one in 2010:

    The anti-corruption agency in Singapore for the first time hauled up vehicle inspectors suspected of accepting bribes in return for turning a blind eye to illegally modified cars, local media reported on Wednesday.

    The Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau visited STA Inspection, a vehicle inspection center, on March 9 and questioned half a dozen of its employees, in what was thought to be the first graft case of its kind in Singapore.

    According to local daily the Straits Times, STA Inspection, a part of the ST Engineering group, is one of the three vehicle inspection companies running inspection centers.

    Vehicle inspection has been mandatory in Singapore since 1981. Cars that are between 3 and 10 years old have to be inspected every two years to ensure their roadworthiness. Vehicles more than 10 years old have to go for annual inspections.

    The STA inspectors are thought to have accepted bribes from workshops specializing in car modifications.

    The workshops, which often send customers' cars for inspection on their behalf for a fee, are believed to have bribed certain inspectors to ensure that they would pass the modified vehicles.

    Hmm when there is a will there is way.  old COE car is every year need to inspect. Really troublesome if you need to dekit and then reinstall back mods. What some people will do is buy those left less than one year coe, then can mod all you want as no need to inspect anymore. Hearsay when Coe expire these cars are then stored /“dumped” somewhere in boleh land. 😆

    A van is a van. Period.

    Use it for what it is suppose to.

    Only another beng or mat will admire this type of van.

    Another question is how the hell does this van pass inspection? Somemore their inspection is every year. CPIB should investigate.

    They do what all the illegal modsters do, revert to stock before inspection then install back everything once finish inspection.

    the amount of reckless driving on the roads seems to be increasing exponentially especially in the past 5 years with lesser and lesser enforcement from TP on the roads....

  8. Phv plus gig economy is actually beneficial from govt point of view as those working under this industry are counted as employed which creates lower unemployment rate than the numbers suggest. Without these jobs a large chunk of people, easily many thousands will be unemployed. Govt win win situation , can get taxes through COE for all the cars bid from the grab and gang. At the same time no need to pay welfare benefits to these group of people as well.

    Drive A6 is quite ok liao. A6 already looks sporty and competes with E class 5 series, although it is not as sporty as A5 sportsback

    Dunno why still slaps on fake badge like those who drives A3 (meaning no offense)

    Sometimes just for fun or it’s to troll people. Another form is use badge from other car brands also 😆
