You don't normally hear Singaporeans wanting to go to Vietnam or Philippines to work. <br /><br />Right now, our highest cost is in housing and cars. I would agree that with our graduate salary, it'll be tough to pay for housing and cars. It is impossible to compare apple to apple since every country is different. <br /><br />I've updated your blog name in my blog list.

You are just looking at the absolute amount, which can be flawed. Cost of living, housing, cars, taxes have to be factored in as well. Please compare apple to apple.<br />By the way, I changed my blog name to SG Wealth Builder (www.sgwealthbuilder.com). Please update.

It is only the poor in Singapore who're suffering. <br /><br />To Malaysians, the salary in Singapore is still higher because of the exchange rate. It was 2 times in the past but have now become 2.5 times. This is already 50% more. You're right that salaries is easily 25-50% lower in KL. 5200MYR is only S$2080.

Food court food at $4 is already almost near to food prices in Singapore. <br /><br />Looking forward to your post.

Even food court food was about $4 if converted. <br /><br />I think I may post something about this too in the coming days. Think theres a lot to consider at least for me.<br /><br />Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09041255778427742477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3276688108456391559.post-62105157618927171802013-10-12T12:50:30.949+08:002013-10-12T12:50:30.949+08:00Hi CSCCC,
