That’s definitely not true. BG Lam was a full colonel with only A-levels, pursued a master’s degree in 2007, and was later promoted to Brigadier-General.

Before pursuing his master’s degree in 2007, he only had A-levels, and at that time, he was already the Chief Commando and a full Colonel.

A bit on the low side salary wise. 300-350k a year with bonus?

400+. 350 is just base

400+. 350 is just base

Still low. Above 500k would be respectable.

How come from A levels can jitao go for Masters degree already?

His stellar work performance won him another shot at upgrading himself. In 2007, he obtained a Master's degree in sports management from Sheffield Hallam University. Postgraduate studies usually require a Bachelor's degree, but the university waived the pre-requisite, taking into account his military accomplishments.

Good to join military.

They are the LTCs with diploma only, Degree LTCs are 500k-650k.

They are the LTCs with diploma only, Degree LTCs are 500k-650k.

Then why didn't you just say so at the start? Why would you talk about LTC salary and quote the diploma holder lower range? Want to purposely suppress the numbers?

I said already SAF pay is very high and good.

500-650k is respectable for sure.

Full COL earn $1m and above. Not much different from Minister Salaries. Those general salaries are even higher than minister salaries. Those general join politics is not for money. They take pay cuts.

Many ppl sure regret last time nv join or sign on

My 1st biggest regret in life is never sign on or join CS. Can earn high celery and shake legs, more easier life than working outside in private sector

2nd biggest regret in life is never get a lot of tattoos and go jail when young. Once released, can easily find a wife, worshiped by a lot of people, validated by gahment and constantly promoted by the media as some kind of brave role model

Being an average joe with honest life is the hardest kind of life

If I had signed on (or go jail) from a young age, the salary which I earned & accumulate will have allowed me to build a bigger fund and maybe now I will be living overseas in a country with nice 4 seasons

2. HIGH SALARIES!!!!!
3. Low tax. No investment income tax. No capital gains tax.
4. World class public transport.
5. Most powerful passport in the world
6. Easy travel all over the world with strong SGD
7. Safe almost no crime
8. Best healthcare system in the world
9. Best education system in the world.
10. Best government in the world
11. Predictable stable weather with no natural disasters

SG is the best. You don't believe you try living in other countries see how. Especially if you need to work. SG is the easiest place in the world to work and make a lot of money.

then may I ask, why are u in Canada? work or? how long have u been there?

I moved to Canada decades ago. At that time thought that Singapore future more uncertain. I stupid listened to PAP always say SG vulnerable can collapse right left centre so easy. So many threats. But now you see SG more richer than Canada. SGD$1=CAD$1.085 already.

I moved to live in Canada. Then looked for work to support my family.

I wouldn't recommend SGrean move out of SG now. It would be extremely foolish. I regret migrating from a financial perspective.

It takes great courage to emigrate, especially for us Asian, in this case I believe you are Chinese. Sure kena racism left right centre every now and then. Emigration is for people who has some money, most of us sinkies are poor, unlike how the news typically portrays us.

 

[UptheToon]

So low meh. I think should be way higher.

 

[weng0202]

The only racism I have encountered is from PRC chinese say that I am not Chinese.

Emigration is NOT for people who have money. More for those who are poor. Migrate for a better life.

It is the complete opposite.
