few factors.
1. with MY license, its easier for you to buy a Malaysia car.
2. when stopped by police, show them ur MY license, kopi money price will drop.
3. SG license have this stupid rules that when you reach a certain age (55 or 65 not very sure). u need to do eye test. if u fail, they revoke ur license.

Point No.2 made my day. Good chuckle for a busy day at work.

I think they do. But only for civil servants (i.e. ambassadors) and of course soldiers.

Just dropped by the Kuriya Fish Market, nex outlet. Was a bit disappointed with the variety, there is really just salmon, tuna (non-fatty version) and unagi, nothing different that you can't get elsewhere (like ... cold storage for example).

btw you guys ever go to those game arcade here? got those table fish shooting games that seems like always got TONS of uncles/aunties playing. what so nice/special about that game? hmm.gif

Yes. It's addictive and contagious. It has spread to iPhone and iPad. I see people playing on the bus and MRT. Curious, I downloaded the app to seek enlightenment. Thought it could replace starcraft2. It aint happening.

Ya....if the tax is 5% - 30%...I wont wanna accept the job...unless the company absorb my income tax or my income is not subject to tax than I will accept the job

I suspect the Co. is trying to avoid giving out a hefty relocation package for existing staff to move to Indonesia. Employing new ones and relocating them will be a more cost-effective way. The seniors will probably be a ‘helicopter’ team that travel back & fro before the new staff can fully take over the operation independently. That’s just my take.

They may be employed in Singapore, with an Indonesia business visa. Therefore, they pay tax to Singapore Government.

A more comprehensive report is available in the news today. Apparently, the women is suffering from marital problems.

The adults always fail to see that children is the innocent subject in marital woes. It is very unfortunate that the mother irresponsibly decided to drag his son along.

Errr.... The term STAY FOOLISH simply means do not always think that you've learnt all and there's nothing more for you to learn. So by staying foolish, you're always willing to learn more and keep learning new things.

When you're no longer a fresh grad, learning becomes a redundancy. You're expected to know it all or avert any awkward questions from clients like you know it all. I can't imagine saying "I dont know the answer to that." in front of clients. My boss will definitely be raging.

Yup. I saw that noticed at the stairs leading to bayfront stand. It was 845Pm. Almost impossible to walk to Padang and back to watch the fireworks.

Actually linkin park suppose to perform on Saturday night. But there were too many changes on the programs that I lost track. No luck.

The place was crowded. Rm65 per kilo of Sri lankan crab. No surcharges on external liquor. Quite far from jb town approx 30km and road was dimly lit. The restaurant beside is Ming Tien Lai.

Overall, food was delicious. Ordered 2 Sri lankan crab prepared in kam heong style, cereal prawn, sweet n sour pork, and Kailan. 3 rice and a few soft can drinks. Total rm165.

Looking at the MRT master plan....

Sometimes I think, if SG size is doubled, from 700km2 to 1,400km2, SG will be a 2nd Switzerland, or surpass Switzerland and perhaps GDP may worth more than Switzerland.

Unfortunately, SG has not enough land to develop, no land for exploitation, somehow or rather, SG will eventually lose its competitiveness.

No matter how SG utilise its space to transform wonders or even build the world largest underground office/theme-park/research centre/casino/MRT underground over another MRT underground/ u named it... all its developments will still be limited to its 700km2. Kesian...

I really hope Indonesia can sell a few inhabited islands to the SG government so that SG can reclaim more land for development to stay competitiveness.... but too bad, this not gonna happen I think...

HK at least still got dozens of mountains that can be used to reclaim land in the future without even depend on China to sell land to them, compare to SG which is a flat-flat island, a single Bukit Timah cant help much tho....

SG is like foreveralone country being sandwiched/squeezed between 2 Muslim countries and I wonder why so many Malaysian Chinese out there still like to bash SG especially in /K/ despite they themselves living in a Muslim country got bullied/sidelined by our current gomen.

SG has always been inspired by the Swiss. Their products are of high quality with inspiring artwork and detailed precision design. If only I have the luxury of time, I would buy book on how the Swiss transform its economy and stay relevant on the world map.

The geographical disadvantage (is just land bank) is not going away for countries like SG. Land reclamation is going to get expensive and especially so under the watchful eyes of the international watchdog. They may not have bountiful resources or big-bang products but they capture a sizeable market of economic refugees to keep it glowing…..at least for our lifetime.
