'One meal a day': Chinese tourists slam Singapore's high costs

[laksaboy]

Is it really worth it? 30-day visa privilege for some people who can't spend much as tourists and cause plenty of troubles while they're here.

 

[laksaboy]

Yes those aren’t tourists they are just visitors
Blame themselves never do research
That is why a lot of their budget Tiong packaged tours do 新马泰. Accommodations in jb and day tours only in sg to the free places like Haw Pa Villa, Merlion and Marina Barrage

Yes, the low SES Tiongs come in via Tuas Second Link. I have seen a Tiong ATB auntie doing the kung fu fan dance while waiting for her tour coach bus.

Something like this:

Got money to stay in Singapore hotel, but can't afford to eat. If you believe this, I got an exciting investment plan to share with you.

What kind of lousy ass tourists are we bringing in? We don't want those bums who can't afford even a McDonald's to come in! Whart's the point of traveling overseas when u are so poor that you can't afford 3 meals? lol

We appear to be only attracting backpackers to SG.

Before getting the free 30 day visa all Tiongs should see this YouTube first….

It's just trashy Youtube clickbait with AI voiceover dub. Believe it at your own peril.

Look at its website https://www.liamdavid.info/ (warning, no HTTPS).

Don't have a lot of money never mind, just don't be obnoxious, don't stir shit, and don't post on TikTok or Xiaohongshu bitching about the holiday experience.

Stick to your designated tour guides waving that stupid little flag, be taken to the various touristy places and restaurants on your itinerary, then fuck off back to Tiongland.

More like attracting Viet bu on holidays scamming old uncle’s hearts and wallets

Medical tourism used to be seen as a key driver of our economy until the greedy doctors from Mount Elizabeth and Gleneagles grossly overcharged foreign patients.

Thailand is medical hub Now. And for middle class in Indonesia, jiu hu. Due to language and culture similarity.

More friendly, far more affordable. Sg still in their stickup mindset patients are wrong and doctors are always right elitism mindset and overcharging patients for everything in private practice. No wonder Amdk and mid class Jiu Hu go to Thailand and for their Thai baht

The S'pore Medicine initiative died a natural death owing to greed by private sector specialists. Overcharging became the name of the game till we priced ourselves out of the regional market.

Sg private sector specialists have that elitist mindset that it’s their right to overcharge because they went to medical sch, spent many years in the craft and can lord over patients.

However they forget about competition from aboard and their field is no different from other fields where patients still go for cheaper treatment and specialists with better service at a fraction of the cost.

Look at what happened to the US healthcare system is a very gd example

More than a decade ago, Parkway secured a lucrative contract with the UAE govt to bring private patients to Mount E and Gleneagles. The specialists grossly overcharged those foreign patients, thinking that the UAE govt would blindly settle the bills. Instead, they turned off the tap completely.

UAE and Brunei are both smart to know that they won’t be exploited by greedy Sinkie specialist doctors who think they know better and treat everyone as fools.

Parkway had a tie-up with Jerudong Park Medical Centre which is a private hospital in Brunei providing general, specialised and surgical healthcare services. While the Dr Susan Lim overcharging involving a member of the Brunei royal family created a diplomatic and professional scandal, the connection between this case and the termination of collaboration between JPMC and Parkway may not be entirely because of this incident.
