Why is Singapore 9th expensive city but our salaries so low . What is wrong ?

Updated UBS study:

However, the citizens of all the cities which are more expensive than Singapore have higher wages and domestic purchasing power.

I think this statement got problem. If the city is more expensive, then of course their wage should be higher than sinkies.

The problem or issue comes only if lower ranked cities have higher wage than sinkieland.


Let me simplify.
()Singapore is at highest for COST OF LIVING–just below London at 11th in the world.

()But compare that with SINGAPORE WAGE LEVEL–Singapore is at 48 just below Moscow and above Istanbul.

Singapore’s PURCHASING POWER–We are somewhere in 55–even below Kuala Lumpur.

This is the kind of statement which is coherent and intelligent. Less expensive city have bigger pay and higher purchasing powers means the gahmen has done a fuck job.

That UBS "analysis" is poor compared to our fellow forumer.

pap dog will tell you : expensive doesn't mean unaffordable.

That is why we must compare expensive (costs) against wage and purchasing power. We are not saying it is not affordable, we are saying it is not equitable!

Remember the 5 stars in Singapore flag? Affordable is not one of them. Equality is!

U freaking idiot

Expensive doesn't mean unaffordable

At the same time Cheap doesn't mean affordable

Cost of something is relative to location and wages.

Expensive + low wages = unaffordable.

Cheap + even lower wages = unaffordable

Things are relative. You cannot compare apples with oranges. e.g. You cannot comparing the cost of housing/groceries in SG to MY without comparing the relative cost to wage is stupid :oIo::oIo::oIo:

Stop using your freaking clone to support your own opinion. I made a simple point

Expensive not = unaffordable and vice versa

You need to take into account on relative cost of living.

I am no PAP dog

Please point out any point in any post I have ever made that I categorically state that SG is cheap and affordable. Those were words you shoved down my throat, not something I said :oIo::oIo::oIo::oIo::oIo:

There is a difference between stating a fact and supporting something :oIo::oIo::oIo::oIo::oIo:

Bangladeshi Amin Khan emptying the rubbish chutes earns 45,000 Taka a month - more than 90 per cent of their countrymen. Indon maid Wati 2 million Rupiah salary is more than a teacher's salary in her own country. Salary so low?

LOW
Thia Kiang MP allowance of $18,000 per month is many times more than Philippines 60,000 pesos salary. So "Low" is not low.

Text book replies expected from PAP IB. Good doggy! Woof! :biggrin:

The same when sinkieland is flooded. No problem! Just post a youtube video of China, Pakistan, Malaysia etc.. with the same problem.

Crowded MRT? No problem! Just post a youtube video of Japan, China, Hong Hong, UK etc.. with the same problem.

:biggrin:

All you've been doing is never once being able to show your justification of your accusation that I am PAP supporter and support it with concrete proof so U end up just ranting like a mad dog and shoving bullshit up my ass and hope it sticks. :oIo::oIo::oIo::oIo::oIo:

I am not a PAP supporter. True there are a lot of policies from them that I agree with. At the same time there are others that I don't. Just becoz I agree with something someone says doesn't mean I support them :oIo::oIo::oIo::oIo::oIo:

No one person can be wrong all the time and definitely no one can be right all the freaking time :oIo::oIo::oIo::oIo:

I really wonder if Char_Azn really read the posts. It is very clear, based on facts, that Singapore has London's "Cost of Living", Russian Wages and Malaysian level of Purchasing Power. And he says that cost is relative...

Typically, I would like to say that if want to argue, please argue on facts, not emotions or "I think..."

pompous is what? Your England very power but your brains? Check section 32 - person of unsound mind.

Pompous means proud and arrogant.

It seems pretty obvious that you are covering up your inferior intellect by questioning the soundness of my mind. Just because you don't understand someone doesn't mean he's crazy. Is that too much for you to comprehend? :biggrin:
