Tan Kin Lian : Many Singaporeans think that they are better off than Malaysians because they earn say 3,000 SGD while the Malaysians earn 3,000 RM ...

[disconsolate]

Many Singaporeans think that they are better off than Malaysians because they earn say 3,000 SGD while the Malaysians earn 3,000 RM and the SGD is more than 3 times higher than RM.

They overlook one important point.

The cost of housing and private cars in Singapore is high. The disposable income for food may be only 20% or say 600 SGD

The cost of housing and private cars in Malaysia is much lower, which means that they have a higher disposable income to pay for their food. I think it could be 40%

Another factor is the same food that costs RM 12 will not cost $3.50 in Singapore but may cost $8. After allowing for the lower disposable income, the Singaporean is likely to struggle with the cost of food, in the same way that the Malaysians have to struggle with higher costs.

This is my observation. I may be wrong.

I don't think sinkies that earn $3k will think this way as I belonged to this group earning $3.5k
My thought is a Lppl draw for both sinkie earning sgd3k and mudland earning rm3k, with mudland having an advantage of lower housing cost.

There is always something I find puzzling in mudland. Those more well known products eg branded sports wear, Watson products are much more expensive than sg and I always wonder how their people can afford it with their rm, as after sgd conversion they are still more expensive than sg.

Their medical products are also inconsistent.
Certain things are much cheaper than sg but certain things are much more expensive, both online and in store.

This Tan Kin Lian eat too full diam diam show videos of Jiuhu eateries , transport ...
Why no show their HV Spa or massage parlour ?

While S'pore is a prosperous country, a significant portion of S'poreans have low disposable income and face financial stress. This is attributed to rising inflation, the cost of living and wage inequality, as well as govt policies and economic conditions. Are we better off than Malaysians? My cousin and his wife enjoy the best of both worlds after working for decades in S'pore, before retiring back in Ipoh where they own a sprawling landed home and 2 cars.

 

[Scrooball (clone)]

Tan Kin Lian always talk like the words are coming out of his asshole. Which Singaporean thinks earning $3k is good?

 

[jw5]

This guy should have become President, he would have been as hilarious, entertaining and capable as Trump.

No one can be more useless than those pappy jiakliaobees

But Malaysia had many Cantonese people whistling at you!

 

[shock888]

Probably Malaysians (those who stayed instead of converting to Singaporeans) have the last laugh. They cannot afford a landed property, a car, cheaper food and can holiday in Malaysia on wheels.. Something Singaporeans can’t.

Yes if they don’t give up their Malaysian Citizenship that is.

I know of several couples from Malaysia who play it safe with 1 becoming a SG citizen and the other a PR, so they keep their options open.
