if they have masters from good uni.shouldnt they be able to find a job in their own country? even if they can't find something to fit their skills, they shouldnt be earning as low as 2k? even a random restaurant manager can earn that much.
i question the validity of this claim.
2k in sgd is more than 20k in their home country
10k if you're talking PRC here, not sure about the difference in India
in india, if you have a good degree or masters, and managed to get into a good local or mncs, the pay can be very, very good. my colleagues in india arguably are better paid than some of my counterparts in singapore for the same level job. they saw the huge spike in salary about 4-5 years ago when their economy boomed. while the income acceleration has tapered recently, the salaries are no peanuts. case in point, i have colleagues in india who declined job offers in singapore before, partly because the salary offered are not attractive enough.
the downside in india is they have a huge pool of educated indians there and a conversely a limited job openings in india; which explains why many would still want to leave. the wide income gap in india is another push factor.

Trust me on this one, if that becomes a right it won't be the deserving that will exercise it the most.

usually those that come here work not no job there. usually their money smaller than ours then they come. here work and convert the money back to their own country lots more. they can, just that more money greed who don't want? so don't be so goo dto them not all are really that poor
Never mind la. We listen to PAP take low pay lor. As low as possible, better still, lower that 20k a year, then no tax, then government realised why their salaries suddenly so low. Whatever they say, we do, will backfire.
Then we outside take another part-time job, no need to pay tax to make up for the loss salary. So we still go the high pay but don't pay tax. haha
Probably you can try to establish your bussiness in the 3rd world country which you can get better FT than our local with so much lower price and reward.

no in this context adam khoo is the problem. he hire cheap labor coz its cheap, not know how good the people he hire service will provide. really most people think good customer service is everything, the people sweet talk only but its the results that matters. sweet talk sweet talk every day greet good morning but the services prvovidded sucks big time and the products always fail rejected so is it only skin deep we want to have?

long jiang pass! long jiang pass! long jiang pass! sicissor paper stone!!!
If you live in heilong jiang, a pass to northern russian, the peoples there will laugh at you for your stupidity, and most probably they will freeze you in their coldest mountaint, the Wei jiang shan.
Govt taxation works in a way that if they cannot tax you, they will tax the others, understanding, tax you for what, in fact, after much reliefs, what is there to tax you, they will tax the company corporate tax. If Adam employ low wage foreign worker, make profit out of it, the govt would get higher corporate tax from him, and moreover, foreign workers need to pay tax and also Adam needs to pay levies tax ya. So, in the end the govt gain more.

Well, there is a different btw gambling and shares ya, gambling is more on luck, whereas shares, which also need abit of luck but also good foresight and knowledge...lazy bums will just gamble, no need to think so much, various for some, shares and stocks is like a think tank centre to make money, think until hair all white,...like my daddy lor, so immerse in shares and golf
gambling is more on probability
shares is strategy
gambling is more on chance,
shares is more on share share

chance is probability lah
shares really is on strategy, when to move when to back out, when to hold. the market goes up and down. if you look at the whole picture its about moving a pail of tea among tea cups. when a good strategist watch carefully and keeps winning filling his own cups full, that's when there is imbalance andsome other cups sure will be emptied. that's where people go bankrupt lose money. while some others cups keeps emptying after they were filled is no gain if you see it in the end. they just wasted their time in mometns of joy when things gets rosy and tears when they lose sometimes.

Both are about probabilities
Gambling, probability is always against you.
Shares, you can increase your probability of success to > 50%.

gambling really depend on the players and how much they have for the games. once some of them losses and had enough change players or the games end, with or without the players.
for shares really its a bigger picture. the stakes are higher and that's why sometimes a little trip to the shares really affects lots of people, winning and losing ends. the stakes are higher.
angel7030,
I like your nick.
I read what you said and I understand. So that means if your dad was one of the uncles, he would be glad to do the extra washing of cars to earn more money , is that what you are saying?Or that if you were one of the Singaporeans who drive people home when drunk, you would work extra by washing pubs?
That would be a very good leadership on your part.
uncle angel7030,
what's your answer to the above posted by Iwanna Humpalot?
