[GoldenPeriod]

They are implying that FT's should have expectations of higher standard of living than Sinkie slaves, thus their costs will be higher.

But Sinkies have a privilege. They can serve NS. Song boh?

I'm surprise Joetys is asking this question i thought he is based overseas. Expats are usually paid in their home currency. e.g. someone from the US is usually paid in US dollars if he is on expat package. If SGD raise against USD the guy basically gets a pay cut

Pap selective use of data again. Data manipulation. Their tried and tested trick.

Yes read the headline I really cannot understand. Does it mean that sinkies are fucking rich???

Ok when you read the content it make a bit more sense but then why such headline? Give readers a hard-on or what?

Singapore is priciest city for expats but only 60th most expensive for locals: survey
Published on Mar 28, 2014, 5:09 PM

The high cost of living for expatriates here relative to other cities is due mainly to Singapore's strong currency, according to a study released on Friday.

While Singapore is the most expensive among 109 cities for expats, it ranks 60th on the list when the cost of living for only locals is measured, based on a survey by the Asian Competitiveness Institute.

The think tank, part of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, releases an annual cost of living index which distinguishes between living costs for expats and those for average residents.

The Singapore dollar, which appreciated 25 per cent between 2005 and 2012, bumped up the cost of living here for expats, whose are usually paid in foreign currencies.

If the exchange rate had held steady at 2005 levels, Singapore would be the 16th most expensive city for expats, the study showed.

The headline indicates that the govt bodies is too used to insult sinkies intelligence. Well, in the first place, they dun have any.

Tailored for the consumption of Singaporeans.

As usual, your posts are based on your limited theoretical knowledge.

These days, there are lots of expats who get a large portion of their salary in the form of local draw, in some cases, even all of it, which means local currency.

When Singapore is referred to as "expensive" it not from the viewpoint of the expat concerned as he has to be compensated accordingly. The expense burden is borne his parent US company measured in USD.

Take a Singapore company as reference it would cost a local company far more to station a manager in Sweden for 2 years than it would to send one to work in Cambodia. However, to the Swedes who earn their salaries in local currency, this sort of comparison means nothing.

Seen expat contracts with forex clause (vs home currency). For example, if variance is -5 to -10%, cause for either review or made good. Outside the perks paid for locally. Talk about being sheltered.

There are all sorts of expat contracts. When I was sent to the USA for 2 years, the company continued to pay my SGD salary into my SG bank account but all my expenses were paid for... ie car, domestic air fares, accommodation and a per diem allowance of USD55.

It cost the company a huge amount when measured in SGD because the exchange rate at the time was 2.3.

Wow... the spin from the pappies is becoming more...desperate?

Expenditure in Singapore is done with Singapore dollars, salary received is in Singapore dollars, doesn't matter if it's a local or expat, so why the hell would you factor in currency when measuring living costs?

Fucked up Old Bastard's think-tank trying to hoodwink the gullible again.

Anyone seen the details of their fucking report?
We all know the PAP fucking lie and lie. We need to see the fucking extent they lie and contort evidence to support their fucking lies.

Let us see the names behind that ACI report. Those will be the people all prepared to lie to us and fuck us at the orders of smear of shit on sole of shoe LKY and PAP and paid big bucks to join them
in the screwing of singaporeans

They must join the dance of collaborators under lamp posts when the time come which will be soon as LKY is going to be a fucking rotting corpse in days or weeks.

Guess what ? The same author who with his colleague was crucified by then MOM Minister Ng for a report that was adverse to the country is now redeeming himself and is the lead author of this study. Looking for Ng Kok Lim to the rescue.
