I suspect he was a PR. Used to be easy to get 10 years ago. 4 months.

At 42? He would have failed the age criteria unless he had family members to sponsor him.

australia got minimum wage mah. Even if this sinkie got minimum wage there, with the lower cost of living he is still better off than in singapore. Can buy a cheap car too, and probably got universal free health coverage.

who the fuck told you aust has a lower cost of living?????????

Can I butt in?
I dun have the stats to compare both countries as to which is more expensive.....but it's a fact Sg just got the top spot as most expensive place in the world...

If you cook at home and buy most of you other things from Singapore yes, as car and houses are cheaper there.

Bro xebay11,

You can also eat out cheap in Sydney, supposedly the most expensive city in Australia, if you know where and how.



For A$10, you get to eat Grainfed Angus Beef Rump Steak w/ Sauce & Fries OR Grilled Pacific Dory Fish Fillet on Fries w/ Lemon & Herb Butter in a full service resturant. Drinking water is on the house - unlimited.

A$6.95 - you get TWO full serving of Fish & Chips in a food court. Get your own drink.

There are alot more. Guess, 4 examples are good enough.

Which fucking rock having you been living under?
Singapore is the fucking most expensive place to live in, in the world.
So of course Australia has a lower cost of living.

Bro GoldenDragon,

Long time no chat. :p

There are other ways of getting around it. Try the investment route.

If you are interested you may want to check out the immigration thread.

Cheers!

During NS, when a tough exercise or event was coming up, some camp mates gather stories for the MO to obtain a light duty certification. That was considered the smart way to avoid heavy duty.

There's no need to exert yourself for some silly conscription duties. If you can avoid, avoid.

It's not your career, it's not your hobby, it's just some dumb shit imposed on you by the govt, simply because you have both a pink IC and a penis.

Yes some liken NS to prison time.

If you earn the money here, it is fine.
People are known to buy electronics here to bring back Singapore. I was surprised too.

Singapore is too costly.

I visit the COURTS or Harvey Norman website and I kind of understand. $100-$200 cheaper here.
Why? because they do not have to pay the landlord ridiculous rent!

Possible that he got his PR way before or has a kid studying uni here, and sponsored him.

He could even be illegal. LOL!

 

[rushifa666]

Of course he will want to work there. Work in singapore as cleaner break head and dead also no one know, company pay out nothing. To add insult to injury the pay not even half!

Lodging is with young blonde packpackers used to sleeping naked especially in summer in some shed and open air shower facilities

In Perth, you have the Super Special $15 meal deal - Chicken Parmigiana with Beer or Glass of Wine at Serpertine Tarven. Not too bad either. :p
