This is a 20 min clip on the cars you could buy in China, some as cheap as a mobile phone.
In Singapore, when a COE, Certificate of Entitlement to own a car for 10 years could cost from $80k to more than $100k, this forms the base price for the price of a car. The price of a car would be the price of the COE plus the cost of the car plus whatever import taxes that came with it. A small car in Singapore, 1000 cc would cost anything from $130k or more.
Now take a peep into this video and check out the prices of cars in China where the average working class people need to pay for a small car. Many Singaporeans would cry for the price they have to pay in Singapore. Many would have fainted.
Some Singaporeans still brag about how much are their salaries compare to how little the Chinese workers are being paid. The hard truth, the Chinese workers are paid about the same salaries as Singaporeans in the 70s or 80s and could afford the same lifestyles of Singaporeans then, have enough money to buy flats and own a car at the same time.
Singaporeans today may be earning 3 or 4 times what a Chinese worker is getting, but could barely afford a 3 room flat and can forget about buying a car. On purchasing power parity terms, the Chinese that are earning lesser on nominal terms are very much rich than the Singaporeans and can afford more than the Singaporeans.
PS. Still wondering why Porky is getting chubbier by the day, but you are getting leaner?
China is a country that deliberately kept the cost of living low so that the Chinese people can have a better life without paying a hand or limb for the essential necessities of life. By producing better useful products for its people and also people of the world, China is contributing to the well being of the average working people around the world. Many people would not be able to afford iPhones or expensive vehicles, EVs without the factories in China.
ReplyDeleteChina directly helps to uplift the quality of life of many people around the world, including the less rich in the developed world.
China would never be crazy to import foreigners to raise the cost of living in China, to raise property prices and claim higher GDP from unproductive activities.
The Chinese people and people of the rest of the world has China to thank for with so many useful consumer goods to improve their lives at very affordable prices, really affordable, not fake affordable prices.
Right you are Anon 10.09
DeleteWhy and how China c ould uplifted their millions from poverty?
Because they industrialised. They created jobs for their millions even initially at low tech sweat shops industries to now high tech ones.
Even with low tech sweat shops.they kept their costs of livings low so that even.the lowest incomes earners could able to live comfortably.
Sinkeland in the 60s with enlightened Leaders like GKS and HSS encouraged Singaporeans at that time to go blue collared with industries that gainfully employed the masses.
They persuaded and cajoled our time.the young not to shun all these blue-collar jobs and you be surprised that many old timers in these jobs are much much better off than the White collared ones.
The new Papies Leaders simply switched off on Auto pilot and still banked on the deaf stale Servile service industries of what's we having now.
Now then they tried to reverse and catch up bu having advertisements of telling the young to go to these blue collared jobs which they actually even now do not really have at all.
Encouraging the ITE students to further their studies.
Having adverts I do not have a degree and am doing well
Too late too little liao.
How many liars, property agents and insurance agents and those BS Financial Consultants you can absorbed per year?
A young mam of early or late twenties after graduations have a working life span of another 40 to 50 years before they retired.
Each year of thousands of jobs seekers are out and you want them to.wait another 50 years to take over the jobs?
Papie Heng can said we have Siemens in.the 60s and so many others which I can named..them.
What's now? Our Tubby Sick with our vast reserves could in ventures with MNCs have all these High Tech industries and gainfully employed thousands if not hundreds of thousands of Singaporeans.
They preferred to throw their monies overseas as Casinos punting for quick returns.
Decades ago Sinkeland should have collaborated with China and build strong joint ventures industries that now our own have good paying jobs instead of thousands doing platform.gig gig Gila part.time.no time and free lance jobs with low pays and no security.
Years down the road we going to have the NEW POORs struggling to survive without much savings and means.
With the cost of livings under no government controls Singaporeans slaughter one a another to gain an advantage.
With Leaders like Son.of a Gan.in.the wildness you think he capable to bring much industries into Singapore?
That's why now.they have no more ideas how to revive our economy that they have to get this BS Decadence Americunts Show only at a time to try and boost the economy.
Thinking that there be ripple effects of our Airports and Hotels and other Yes Sirs Yes Sirs Servile Industries.
These are only for those Third World Country that have no Real Smart.Human. Resources that able to do high tech technology
Industries.
Oops Sinkieland is such now.
Offending Thailand with the exclusive no shows other than in Sinking Land with undertake 5UAss Millions underhand tactics that in.whats ASEAN Spirit.

ReplyDeleteSingapore is so pathetic that it thinks by importing the like of gyrating sex symbols like Taylor Swift it can stimulate and generate the economy. Instead such low class show has no cultural value and it can only corrupt our youths. Singapore should encourage enterprenuers to build factories to produce quality goods for the world so as to provide jobs and generate income and not keep on importing low class profane sex gyrating shows to corrupt our people. Get real please.
Sceptical citizen . Singaporeans are being cheated

No guts to mention their Masters the Barbarians.
Who are the Actual Shits Stirrers and Wars Mongers.
In Convicts Land can mentioned that although we are NOT a party in the disputes of the rocks in the SCSeas but we demanded Freedom of Navigations.
Where in the Hell does China impeded the Freedom of Navigations?
Its the UAssA that are the Ones causing troubles and that doggie Pinoys under their prefers purposely provoked China.
All these Islands and Lands historically are China's own since time immemorial.
Who are these imbeciles that wanted a share of them?
Even Anwar stated we have no problems with China.
Sinkeland is the Outcast of ASEAN and been selfish for their self interests had majority scorned and avoid the Red Dot.
Now what's backs stabbing exclusive clause that only performed in Sinking Land with underhand tactics that Thailand and the Rest are NOT happy with this dirty trick.
Ok no problem, you celebrate the 1st we can celebrate the 15th.
China been giving chance NOT to break your rice bowl of your Tuas Port and if u kept sucking up to the Americunts to contain us then now Thailand also too lan will join venture to cut the Isthmus of Kra with no second thoughts as ASEAN Brotherhood.

SINGAPORE — Former transport minister S. Iswaran, who is currently facing corruption charges, was reportedly hospitalised in Melbourne due to respiratory illness. He was discharged a day after he was granted a 16-day extension to remain outside of Singapore.
ReplyDeleteThe Straits Times reported that he was admitted to Cabrini Malvern, a private hospital, and was discharged on the Tuesday afternoon (5 March). It did not report the date of his admission.
The Attorney-General's Chambers said on Monday that Iswaran's defence had filed an application to extend his stay in Australia, which the State Courts granted.
Iswaran was in Australia to help his son settle into university. His trip was initially planned from 16 February to 4 March but is now extended to 19 March due to his illness while abroad. Yahoo News
