Expo's a bit far out. Might not be able to get a taxi just in time.

If your appointment is important, then either take the train out to a more central/higher traffic area or book a taxi. Google for the taxi company booking numbers.

If you're arriving from Malaysia at Golden Mile, just go from there straight to Changi. Why does Expo come into the picture?

Just take a taxi from the taxi stand at Golden Mile. It has taxis waiting 24 hours a day because of the express buses.

I'd reallllly like to see how he can afford a RM500K house and a new City with RM5K salary. After EPF and tax, it's barely RM4K a month. I don't see how he can set aside the monthly instalments from his paycheck, much less "afford it" in terms of smart financial management.

RM4K take home.
Less RM2.5K house instalment... 30 years !!!
Less RM1K car instalment.
Left with RM0.5K.

If you're willing to cut it this close, I don't see the reason you can't afford a S$500K home and new car in SG, with S$5K salary.

It's household average, as Deo mentioned.

Average salary is nowhere near that as there are lots of non-professional employees, manual workers or low wage workers will always outnumber professionals in any open, non wage regulated economy that has is still growing strongly.

But if you're in the professional sectors, working in a competitive multinational environment like banks, HQ offices (where regional or global roles are common) or working in the Orchard or CBD offices, 7K won't be too far from the average salary of your peers.

Another traffic light accident early this morning at Rochor Rd. Exact same spot as the Ah Tiong Ferrari crash recently. I wonder this time is foreign trash or local trash?

My apologies for not attaching any links but it's a real hassle to do this on mobile. CNA's Facebook page has a video of the accident (in-car video but very clear) which was posted up 20 minutes ago.

Just say you want the overseas exposure and experience with Singapore's unique multinational environment (in terms of companies, but also culture and workforce). There is no other place in the world where you can work with Singaporeans, Malaysians, Thais, Filipinos, Chinese, Indians, Americans and Europeans etc all under one roof. And due to the plentiful RHQs, you will be working on regional or even global issues and assignments.

Different people with different backgrounds, working in different roles in different industries will be competing with different "levels" of competitors who subject them to vastly different "markets" and therefore different "market rates" will apply.

Exactly what (or who) are you expecting the milk to come from?
