&lt;p&gt;Why EUROPE , entire 'continent' able to prosper and continue to
pay its IT staff who are european passport holders the highest IT
salary in the world? now USA currency is like so cheap cannot
compare with euro.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think the answer is&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;because Europe Boleh!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Its not about cost. Its whether you are able to provide them the
salary and no need resort to lowering costs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Business is about SALEs.&amp;nbsp; No sales, no matter how cheap
your IT budget is, also you go fly kite and bankrupt. Its about
your business capability. Some INC says able to pay its staff world
record salaries because salary is not the issue. Its the Gross
Domestic that is the issue.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you can , you can.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you cannot, you cannot.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Europe CAN!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Businesses which are weak and cannot afford even IT staff should
not use the excuse or reason &amp;nbsp;that if they don't use cheaper
resources, their business will collapse.&amp;nbsp; The real&amp;nbsp;reason
is these businesses are either weak fundamentally, not smart, not
competent,&amp;nbsp;not able to capture&amp;nbsp;enough market share,
generate sales,&amp;nbsp;poor in marketing or too stingy to invest in
supplychain software of the&amp;nbsp;best&amp;nbsp;quaility or&amp;nbsp;simply,
someone&amp;nbsp;or&amp;nbsp;several people are corruptioning from the
inside out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1st world&amp;nbsp;cost of living.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1st world&amp;nbsp;everything except freedom and salary will
not&amp;nbsp;work. This equation is fundamentally flawed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A&amp;nbsp;kindergarten gardener&amp;nbsp;can comprehend this.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;on a broader perspective i agree with your points good job&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;my office old clerk, her son studied in aus and never returned
since graduate as he found a job there even before graduated and
earning much more than here even after netting the high tax there.
He got his 'zenship after&amp;nbsp;4-5 years there. He sold his picanto
in the pore and bought a brand new BMW there for , i quote him,
'same price as picanto ah'. I oways green with envy whenever he
says that since I drive a picanto and paid high price for it due to
coe. He also owns a permanent home and land under it for cheap and
near a golf course.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Did any of you ever pondered, why people after study overseas,
never want to come back?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;since you are so obsessed with the bmw, get a pre-owned one. i
will attest to it that it is a better drive than a picanto (tho' i
have never driven a kia b4). your image quotient will also go up a
few notches. i can recommend which beemer will suit your profile
and budget if you need help.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i can't help you with the bungalow and land near the gold
courses since i also live in a highrise like most of us.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;do you have the actual numbers of the total number of
singaporean who studied overseas stayed on and those who return to
back up your sweeping statement?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;it is not sustainable wad. how many people can you afford to
send overseas?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;sooner or later, you would not even have enough ppl to handle ur
emigration procedures. better,&amp;nbsp; all the procedure done by
PRs.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

"font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;We can&#8217;t even group a smaller
region in terms of business interest, and you wanna group
demographic in Asia. Just because people move around it does not
means that culturally they agreed to sleep together.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style=
"font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;As for comparing it with Europe I think the
historical context of colonial play a role.&lt;span style=
""&gt;&amp;nbsp;Like i say&amp;nbsp;takes it course.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Look at the reality, it took&amp;nbsp;
a while to get aids into Mynamar and it is only a few hours flight
time. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Singapore is in the continent of Asia. So is PRC. Within
the European continent, the europeans work in the different
european countries. So why the double standards now when Asians
work in different Asian countries?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don't think it is double standard. Considered different
historical context as European would have a longer history of
interaction including working towards a common market.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;what did Asean actually&amp;nbsp;do to work closer?&amp;nbsp;It took
Asean 40 yrs to sign a human right charter. &amp;nbsp;I think u can't
speed the process.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not Asean. Asia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
People has been moving around for centuries. If not, there wouldn't
be Singaporean Chinese, Malay or Indians.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not to mention his facts were already wrong. The first day I
stepped into Paris, I was surprised by the number of blacks there;
they are all around.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;2) Do you know Germany (in Europe) is short of engineers, and
they are looking overseas for them?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3) Business is not only about sales. It is sales vs expenses.
You can have $10 billion of sales, but if your total expenditure is
$11billion, you still go bankrupt.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4) As you have said, you have to walk the talk. Start your own
IT business and pay them the highest salary possible. Show us you
are as competent as Mr Low Thia Khiang in hiring only locals.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Why EUROPE , entire 'continent' able to prosper and continue to
pay its IT staff who are european passport holders the highest IT
salary in the world? now USA currency is like so cheap cannot
compare with euro.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think the answer is&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;because Europe Boleh!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Its not about cost. Its whether you are able to provide them the
salary and no need resort to lowering costs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Business is about SALEs.&amp;nbsp; No sales, no matter how cheap
your IT budget is, also you go fly kite and bankrupt. Its about
your business capability. Some INC says able to pay its staff world
record salaries because salary is not the issue. Its the Gross
Domestic that is the issue.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you can , you can.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you cannot, you cannot.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Europe CAN!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Businesses which are weak and cannot afford even IT staff should
not use the excuse or reason &amp;nbsp;that if they don't use cheaper
resources, their business will collapse.&amp;nbsp; The real&amp;nbsp;reason
is these businesses are either weak fundamentally, not smart, not
competent,&amp;nbsp;not able to capture&amp;nbsp;enough market share,
generate sales,&amp;nbsp;poor in marketing or too stingy to invest in
supplychain software of the&amp;nbsp;best&amp;nbsp;quaility or&amp;nbsp;simply,
someone&amp;nbsp;or&amp;nbsp;several people are corruptioning from the
inside out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1st world&amp;nbsp;cost of living.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1st world&amp;nbsp;everything except freedom and salary will
not&amp;nbsp;work. This equation is fundamentally flawed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A&amp;nbsp;kindergarten gardener&amp;nbsp;can comprehend this.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;I think it will create more opportunities rather than more
jobs,&amp;nbsp;not unless its a labour-intensive workplace where the
expariate's salary can possibly be splits&amp;nbsp;to hire&amp;nbsp;two
more&amp;nbsp;man to the exisiting pool.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;can be true in this sense:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1 citizen cost $5K to hire withdraw all his money and went to
live in NZ.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This gives companies the reason to hire 2 x 2.5K thus, on paper,
purely on paper alone, it can then be said that 2 jobs are created.
To whom, that is another totally mutually exclusive question all
together wherein unworldly people may never comprehend.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But it must also be made known that when 2 jobs are created, 1
job was lost.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
