Your salary is also almost same number but different currency.

And for most big ticket, imported, non-household, non-food, non-consumer items - the prices are at parity no matter which currency you spend.

It's all about earning and spending power.

Last thing is how much of your income do you spend on these items... I might buy 2 tubes of toothpaste a year for S$20 at most. But I also buy a 2 mobile devices a year for S$2000. It's much more beneficial to me that mobile devices are cheaper or same price as in Malaysia. Toothpaste can 10X more expensive in Sg than My but still have insignificant impact on me.

working in Tanjong Pagar, staying in Fernvale, Sengkang
everyday need to travel 1 hour to work

buy house liao?

I subscribed Singtel mobile broadband, but then after 5 to 10 min, i cannot surf already even though my computer is showing that im still connecting to the internet. Anyone staying in ang mo kio area having the same problem? Or only me? Or do I need to do some setting on my laptop? I called the technical support, they still didn't manage to solve the prob. sigh

Trying. They said need 1week to check the coverage around ang mo kio. If cannot fix, then can terminate. But what i fear is what if they tell me the coverage is ok, everything is fine, but my internet still suck. That time I can't terminate, duno what can i do lo.. sigh
