The Monaco Of Asia

Singapore Wants To Be The Monaco Of Asia!

I have always said the PAP wants to turn Singapore into the playground for the rich and privileged,the Monte Carlo of Asia.

Well,at least for the costs of living,we are coming close to Monaco although we are actually light years behind on having the Swiss standard or living.Look at how “cheap” the European countries are compared to Singapore.Even Switzerland is cheaper!

And don’t let the PAP tell you these rankings are inaccurate because they only apply to expats.The rankings take into account food, transport, rental etc all the essentials of life.The ranking below assumes a moderate lifestyle and average consumption.

Monaco is a tax haven inhabited by movie stars,sport stars and the rich and famous who can well afford the high cost of living.

Are you one of them in Singapore?

    Pro Democracy supporters always like to quote/shout Ang Mo (Anglo Saxo race) slogan:
    Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death.” – Hong Kong Protesters (Patrick Henry)
    https://youtu.be/CN194KxB3ms

    But when you tell these pro democracy supporters (GMS+Hong Kees) to go Ukraine frontline to face off the invading Russians, these useless pro democracy supporters disappeared.

    Even Ukraine patriot also disappeared.

    Funny… why ah?

    I am a Ukrainian patriot.
    But I am afraid to die defending our freedom.

    So I ran away.
    I prefer cannon fodder GMS to die on my behalf so that I live to party on.

    Lim Tean, do you wish to join Goh Meng Seng (GMS) to go fight Russia forces at Ukraine frontline ?

  • Harder Truths:

    There is always a use-by date for the things. Then see what happens to the Great Plan.

    Sooner or later the countries that are being cheated out of their wealth – like the EU, USA and China – will demand $inkeland open their bank books. Even he Swiss had to cave to American pressure and the money vanished. Chinese nationals are also being investigated big time by the CCP and only a matter of time until the CCP demands the return of Chinese monies – is $inkieland brave enough to say no to the CCP?

    The banks may have had enough of the high cost of business here and opt to go electronic. Nothing can be done about that. Overnight the banks will vanish and be only available on the smartphone. India, Malaysia and even Vietnam may be future destinations for banks to do their dirty laundry.

    $inkeland knows only how to cheat and scam. When this is gone it is back to the fishing village for those who have led the good life.

  • A WASTE OF TIME:

    Straits Times: 15,000 Sentosa workers to undergo upskilling under new framework to lift tourism sector

    Upskilling is a waste of time and money. Why? Because there will ALWAYS be a “cheap” (no CPF) foreigner with the same, if not more skills. He/she will get the job because they are up to 17% cheaper to employ than locals and PRs.

    That is why SkillsFuture credit is also a waste of time and money and not used extensively, especially be older workers. Ageism is also rampant in Singapore. That is why it is a waste of time and money for older workers to go for upskilling. The PAP was “generous” in the last Budget giving an additional $4000 because its know most of it will not be used.

    It is a fact that the Chinese made progress by abusing workers, underpay their workers and making workers work long hours.

  • rice:

    It is sad to see so many former Sg-PMETs getting disadvantaged and left to fend for themselves in old age after helping to build the nation.

    Even when the G took out past reserves that were the hardearned savings contributed by these older sgs,many of them received a spiteful $600 out of a claimed grant of $23.5K per capita.
    So many non-sgs received much more.
    Whatever their reasons,it was totally unfair practice and a social injustice.
    Can any good minister disagree?

    What is worse is when former PM Lee claimed that the subsequent GST INCREASE was fair and “equitable” as GST covers everyone.EVERYone?
    So,granting deserving and needy older sgs a sum of $600 was also “equitable” when even intra-company FT-transferees who had not even started paying Income Tax at the point when the $100B was utilised to grant them generous furlough instead of wage cuts to save jobs was “equitable”?:

    I say please DO NOT REPEAT SUCH PRACTICE again in future allocation of sgs’ reserves.
    Sgs’ reserves are not foreigners’ reserves.
    As such ALL sgs deserve to be granted more.
    Am i right to say?
    Show me it is wrong of me to say such.

    This is how much $100B is!
    And,SIA is worth $20B only.
    The $100B is no “peanuts”.

    Parliament need sessions to discourse on this in case of future needs for reserves eithdrawals.
    We must a fair allocation of such reserves that are being withdrawn.

    Do not dance with the devil!

    Well said. It is a FACT that locals are going kaput from taking on large loans to keep the government and banks going.

    It is also a FACT that the Regime and banks are using $inkieland as money-laundering center and the price of everything will continue to rise as long as there are FT ‘investors’ that will come here to evade the law in their own country.

    It is a Catch22 – the rising prices are untenable and most $inkies will die young trying to pay it back. On the other hand, should the FT ‘assets’ disappear, then the banks collapse and so does the $inkie economy and jobs.
    People who remember the Japanese Banking Crisis of the 1980’s will remember how Japanese lost everything. $inkieland has not learnt this lesson.

    The worst is yet to come. What happens to an island full of third world nationalities with no jobs, limited resources and massive inflation? $inkies are going to find out the hard way.
