But...2 poles?
Delivery cost may be more than the profit.
Then they will charge you the delivery cost lah.

Or else rexona will have to pegang 2 kayu and walk home lor.

I wonder how many of you intend to:-

(A) stay and work in SG short term for 3 to 5 years or PR wins the next GE and will be announce the new federal government.

(B) stay and work in SG mid-term for 5 to 10 years regardless what will happen unless SG got an earthquake.

© stay and work in SG long-term for 10 years & above or as long as RM2.40 = $1.00

(D) stay, start a family, raise ur children and work in SG till retirement...

I only falls into category (A) bcos too much commitment back at my hometown.

I'm in Singapore to fund my early retirement back to Malaysia. According to my math when I initially moved here, I can retire with the same amount of savings if I retire in 10 years time in Singapore, vs 20+ years in Malaysia. The extra 10+ years to invest and compound the money will offset the extra 10+ no-income years which that savings will need to pay for.

And that "10 years to retirement" has been falling fast since I got here as the opportunities for promotion in SG are simply much more abundant than staying in KL.

However, as expected, I simply pushed up my savings target rather than lowering my retirement age. So another 10 years in SG it is.

Maybe A maybe D.
Will have to see how the government becomes even if it changes.
Note: changes may be for the good or for the bad.
But as of now, I dun think it can go any worse...IF shyt really happens and it does sweat.gif sweat.gif , then D is a no brainer for me.

I will go where the money flow. 10 years is too long for me to predict the future. Try my best to seize the best opportunity, and if other country offer me better monetary return with comfortable lifestyle then I will go. If Malaysia is doing good and I can make more money back home then I will go back, but I doubt that la. I just don't want my children go through the same shitty system as me when I was in Malaysia.

Buying a HDB with PRship will burn a very big hole during deposit.
