S'pore school dropout moves to NZ, now a truck driver earning over S$70k a year

[shock]

So all drop out go NZ can earn the same amount!?

 

[pikafunk3]

Lol... Did I mentioned about failure? There is no failure for those still staying in Singapore?

If you think human beings are rational then they are connected but we are not rational.

I never said you did.

But the people who leave , are often failures in various aspects.

Are there failures who do not leave? Of course.

Yup, many people are irrational. We call them different names sometimes.
Idiot, stupid,low iq, even rude ones like retarded. That's why they make bad decisions, and ultimately, fail.

In singapore, Blue collar males are looked down by fellow sinkies (both males and females)

Good question haha

Men are looked down if they do not make enough money.

That is universal.

Only difference is, different places have different levels of standards.

Those that can’t leave, whine about pap and vote oppositions.

Haha . Yes you are right.
It is possible there is a correlation

Poor, underacheivers are often the angriest , and possibly blame everything but themselves

Of cos he wont be judged w/o paper cos its driving a truck.
Try applying to be an engineer.

Erm, think if not wrong local do simple phv or delivery also need 'paper'. Almost nothing goes without 'paper' under incumbent. That is how jialat life have become for locals.

Most likely they just do not have the guts to leave. Or their lives aren't that desparate and hard to begin with.

Above nzd70k will face a personal tax of 33%. At sgd58k or 4.8k a month, the actual take home is sgd3.2k a month. Nothing to crow about or remotely newsworthy.

but the paper qualified person may not earn much more. n not be unduly looked up to
that’s the point
we folks worship ppl with paper or if not paper the person with money thru entrepreneurship
but not the person. who work hard with hands

 

[ramlee]

people shouldn't compare just income

it should be nett post tax. then need to weigh in on benefits and life.

don't understand why people so fixated on $ value.

you go Switzerland , earn $5k sgd per mth can't hardly live any decent life.


Read HWZ Forum Rules!

Because fresh grad are paid $6k. If we paid less than $6k we ish worst than fresh grad

Easier for them to complain about everything than actually doing something to improve their lives.

Life sucks in Singapore unless you are in the top 10-15%.

Top 10-15% probably >$150k a year. Really dun have to earn so much to lead a comfortable life here, but sinkies are a dissatisfied bunch who wants a lot.

 

[LoaGong12]

Meanwhile here exploit cheap labour like middle east

yes cuz it benefits the majority.
like nasi lemak doesn’t cost 20 dollars
the question: would sinkies pay more if ppl are paid fair wages

 

[LoaGong12]

Lies.. all Lies...

Singapore is the best. It's racist over there and alot of poor ppl. High tax.


Lies I tell u.


Singapore is the best.

but not if you are a low wage earner

I know a handyman. He averages 3 to 5 jobs a day. His average daily takings is in the hundreds. From a one man show he now hires a worker. He also has a commercial vehicle. It is not difficult to imagine how much he is able to make in a month. This is a perspective seldom talked about. You can make a damn good living in Spore even for blue collar work. Question is whether one wants to improve his or her lot in life, or simply prefers to lie flat.

I feel pple who complaint cpf system,complaint gov,this n that quit etc got something in common

Very distinctive common trait
