"So, we have to change the government. Then, we can ask Singaporeans to come to Malaysia to work, not the other way around," Nga said.
The above is quoted from the mothership.sg
The DAP politician is promoting Pakatan Harapan as a better party to run Malaysia and grow the Malaysian economy. In so doing, Malaysia would become a more attractive place to work not just for Malaysians but also for Singaporeans. If this is a possibility, then it would be a good opportunity for the numerous jobless or underemployed Singaporean PMETs to find some decent jobs in Malaysia instead.
This is a breath of fresh air for the desperate and running out of cash jobless and underemployed PMETs. At least they do not have to fight with third world talents for jobs and are welcomed by Malaysia. Malaysia would stand to gain from the vast experience of Singaporean PMETs that were rejected by their own country. It is a win win situation for Malaysia and jobless and underemployed Singaporean PMETs and also for Singapore. It would help in the unemployment statistics of Singaporeans if they are employed in Malaysia.
Nice, very nice. I welcome this suggestion. For once, Singaporeans are welcomed in Malaysia and can work there. Never mind if the salary is in ringgit. Better than being unemployed or underemployed. And if they stay in Malaysia, then the exchange rate would not make any difference. They can either sell their HDB flats or rent them out to the third world foreign talents working in Singapore and would have a lot of spare cash to enjoy the big country up north.
Thank you DAP, Malaysia. Help is on the way for Singaporean PMETs.
What do you think?
Well done, Malaysia! Thank you for inviting us to Malaysia to work. We are really desperate. We don't mind working in Malaysia at all.
ReplyDeleteYes maybe u can earn in Matland but then probably part of your pay might be 'on hold' for other purposes or even taxes by the local gobblemen over there only left with pittance or very very little left to even feed yourself.
ReplyDeleteNot true lar. They even paid my epf when I retired. No questions asked
DeleteThat's wat they might put your monies earned on handakaki can't withdraw till retirement and the policy might change also.
DeleteO true lar. My epf earned much higher interest than cpf and they paid every cent when I retired. No demonise Malaysia lar
DeleteDon't forget they also tax u lah, alamak. But probably lower than Sinkieland. Juz pray they don't change policy anyhow like changing goal post. It they found many Sinkies working there they might think of ways to skin these many Singa cats maciam like Huat huat for their gobblemen, maybe increase levy increase workpasses mani etc.
DeleteIf they are prepared to work for less than a third of normal wages as in Singapore. Remember, one S$ is now worth 3.35 ringgit.
ReplyDeleteBut then, everything over there is much, much cheaper. Houses, cars, eating out, and parking is literally free in most areas. Cost of a 3-room HDB flat here could probably buy a bungalow over there.
There are of course pros and cons to consider.
If Malaysia makes it comfortable for Singaporeans to work and live there, think of the $500k or $1m HDB flat. Sell them and turn into 1.5m ringgit or 3m ringgit, can buy landed properties and big cars, and work there for pleasure, no need even to work.
ReplyDeleteWhen you are living there, spending there, the exchange rate favours S$ for the first conversion. After that, it does not mean anything, irrelevant, unless you want to come back and buy another pigeon hole and pay for the high cost of living in Singapore.
There many schemes to hold on to your CPF, even spending your CPF by mandatory schemes, delaying withdrawal age....
ReplyDeleteIf you are in your 60s or 70s, you may have another 30-40 years to live.
ReplyDeleteIf you rent a landed property for RM1,500 pm, 1 year costs you RM18,000. 10 years = RM180,000, 30 years = RM540,000, 40 years = RM640,000.
With RM1.5m or RM3m, you may just rent a place instead of buying. The interest in FD could be more than enough to service the rental plus living expenses.
Caveat, if there is no security risk living in Malaysia. Perhaps a better option is East Malaysia, safer, friendlier and only an hour away by air to Kuching. No traffic jams at Causeway and cost of living even cheaper.
Singapore becoming unaffordable:
ReplyDeletehttps://blackbox.com.sg/everyone/housing-woes-in-singapore-looking-beyond-just-the-affordability-factor
'In its latest survey, Blackbox found that Singaporeans are increasingly feeling that the city-state is becoming an unaffordable place to live for many people (81% share this sentiment), and nearly 1 in 2 (48%) Singaporeans surveyed feel that the Government needs to do better in tackling the crisis of housing affordability.'
Thanks to the DAP politician, ordinary Singaporeans can finally see light at the end of the dark tunnel.

ReplyDeleteIndeed not long from now, Sinkies will work abroad as there is no job for locsld in Sin.
This the Reality that Sinkies have pawn themselves for.
Anyway,
many wise ones
have left Sin wif
some considering to abandon the Land they are born in.
Personally,
I shall exhort my Fellow-countryman to
migrate to less developed coutries to live a more organic existence.
Cheers
U be careful lar. If u move to south Asia u may kena sodomized there
DeleteThe Sin economy is based on consumption and rent. So need to build and build and to bring in more and more people, to rent and to consume. No real productivity, no real production of goods and services.
ReplyDeleteEvery Singapore pays rent by buying/renting HDB flats. Buying HDB flats is paying long term rent. Every foreinger brought in, needs to do the same, buying/renting flats with the few exceptions of the very rich.
What kind of fake economy and economic growth is this and how long would it last, how big can the balloon be inflated before it goes pop?
Consuming of housing, consuming of cars.....
How can a HDB unit cost 100K for a simple 1-Rm flat? This is surely unaffordable by any standard?
ReplyDeleteLike dat, CPF sure got nothing left after paying for flat.
ReplyDeleteGot sell 1 rm flat meh? Thot smallest 2 rms.
Aiya u rich guy that is why u don't know. One room flat mean e rrything on one room that is lounge bedroom kitchen etc. Very jialat one if u living there
DeleteThe changing of laws like changing underwears is a very serious problem there for sure.
ReplyDeleteOur very own children are thrown under the bus to import more fakes and cheats as talents.
ReplyDeleteThis is crime that Singaporeans have committed against their children.
They have sold out their own children and still sleeping. By the time silly Singaporeans woke up, the islands would be taken over by the foreigners. Singaporeans would become the outcasts, the untouchables in their own island, like the Palestinians in their own land.
