what ever time they have they will probably go back home town smile.gif , so foreveralone.jpg in Sg . Unless you have a schedule like King Lester, work 15days/month. But then again he doesn't work for money.

Good news!!!

Everybody earning up to $200K gets a income tax cut. After 200K, then it begins to equalibrate between the old rates and new rates. Of course, the lower you are below 200K, the more the cut will be for you.

You should be happy if you can pay that kind of tax based on your salary.

Well, your future bonus will base on higher monthly salary, that's more than enough to offset the tax defference.

That's fast to get from one side of the sandwish to the other side within a year or two.

Getting a SG car should not be a problem for you.

So next year no more big 4 but SG big 5 laugh.gif

You dont know or you dont want to use Giro leh?
0% interest wor.
