Soapland is around $200 vs Gheyland Cheekon Rice setTaiwanese told me KL night club even more expensive. Ridiculous level for a third world country. Sinkie, second. Taiwan and Japan a lot cheaper mostly because drinks are cheap but girls too. Not sure about rents.
Few can afford this high life stylecan go nightlife now means wallet thick thick money many many .... next day can go work late and bochap bosses ... this is now history for locals. Expats and FTs maybe still can do that .... but they most probably TT back all the SGDs earned here back to their home to buy land and build new houses. So nightlife other than attend Funeral Wakes at HDB void decks is a thing of the past now.![]()
Most dun understand PPP conceptThe majority of S'poreans have low purchasing power because everything is simply too expensive here. Much as up to 80% wish to not be cooped up in their HDB pigeon holes, 92% do not own a car, have not many places of entertainment to travel to, and once they get there, find goods and services far too overpriced. We really have a low quality of life here in SG.

Why are S'poreans not getting much bang from our buck? Our land scarcity drives up the cost of real estate, making both the rental and purchase of a home extremely expensive; this is the biggest component of a household's expenditure. To manage traffic congestion, car ownership is too expensive for up to 92% of residents here. A small country like S'pore also relies heavily on imports for many goods, which drives up prices owing to shipping and logistics costs.Most dun understand PPP concept
