  • Mid-career PMETs faced with competition with S-Pass and EP holders, many ended up driving Grab and Uber. Even Filipinos are working in HR dept of stat boards and agencies.

  • Since the last elections, we have once again increased intake for new-citizens. Enbloc fever in anticipation of population growth throwing $2-4million to over 10000-20000 seniors while our young face escalating home prices.

Many local-borns will be like this soon:

Your kids will not do well in school unless your wife quits her full-time job to coach them or spend over a thousand a month for enrichment programmes and home tuition.

Diploma got $2k salary these days?

Polytechnic and LCCI Level 4 can get 2-2.3K for fresh grads.
The rest will command a bit lower if they don't have work experience.

The 2.2K average is not a meaningful number.
The uniformed service and civil service, police and SAF pays them close to 2.8K. It pulls up the number.
