Do we agree Singapore government is both effective and efficient?
Do we believe Singapore will continue to attract huge investments into Singapore?
Do we believe Singapore’s economy will continue to grow by leaps and bounds?
Personally I think we have good judges here in Malaysia. The reason I say so is because the government of the day can lose in court and they can lose many times too. This is very similar to those countries where the people think highly of them. For example, Canada, Australia, UK. Their governments do lose in court battles too. This is unlike in some countries where the government has virtually won every legal case mounted against them or win every legal case they bring up against their opponents. Maybe if the government seldom loses, it’s because the government is already close to perfect?
The exchange rate’s impact on Malaysian salaries in Singapore is notable, with a decrease from S$1 to RM3.37 in 2015 to S$1 to RM3.15 today. This change means a potential loss of RM12,600 annually for a S$5,000 salary. Current rates are better than 2021, benefiting Malaysian workers.
Bank Negara says this about Living Wage. “A living wage is an income level needed for a household to afford a minimum acceptable living standard, which includes the ability to participate in society, the opportunity for personal and family development, and freedom from severe financial stress.” Do take a look at the image below.

It’s a huge achievement because Thailand is the top in ASEAN when it comes to international tourists. Perhaps the reason is because there are now ever more connections and it’s thus easier and probably cheaper to fly here these days. Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing said that Malaysia has over 3,343 international flights every week. Thus, 674,000 passengers could come into Malaysia. This is really a wow. Read on for more details:
Beyond just the subsidies… special payouts… cheaper price of goods via controlled prices… they have to ensure everyone in need of a place to stay has a place to stay and this place to stay is as affordable as it could be. It does not need to be an apartment yeah. Ensure those who does not have a few hundred ringgit extra also has a proper place to stay, to shower, to sleep soundly at night.
I was very happy when I exchanged Ringgit to Yen on past Monday. The rate I exchanged was Yen1000 to RM26.6 or around RM1 to Yen 37.59 This is very good rate because in January of this year when I went to Japan, the rate was RM1 to Yen35++. I think it should hover around this area until the time when I visit Japan again. Last January, it was Fukuoka and Nagasaki. This time it will be Nagoya and Kyoto. Yes, I love the country very much for a vacation. As for buying a home in the future, who knows? Coming back to US$ versus Ringgit. Do read the latest news below:
Based on my income, how much should I allocate for housing?
Pearly and Thinaah of course. Their friendship, their abilities and yes, that language advantage where whoever they play against, they can speak a different language loudly and no one knows what they are saying. Versus you know lah… some language, we all understand perfectly and easily. 🙂 It was reported that as at the end of the BWF World Tour Finals, they have earned RM1.49 million in prize money.
Which house type has appreciated the most since 2010? Debate of ‘only landed property will increase in price, high-rise units too many.’ Maybe we start
I told him to stop joking because there’s no way he can save more money. He was a little offended. He challenged me to tell him my fuel consumption. Well, as at today, it’s 7.3 litre per 100km. That’s about 1 litre of RON95 petrol to 13.7km. His awesome car could give him nearly 20km to 1 litre. I did not bother to ask if that’s solely on highway because if it’s just highway, my Persona could also do way better than 1 to 13.7km. Anyway, he laughed at me and I laughed at him and I guess we agree to disagree.
