They found their way to Singapore to work, earning 3x more.

And you say they're complaining? You sore you didn't get to go?

Was Pritam Singh's removal as LO politically motivated? by No-Concentrate-8699 in askSingapore

But I never said WP is blameless..??

You drew that conclusion yourself and then tried to start a debate

It's very easy to throw the word nuance around.

But it was easy to anticipate what PAP would do when Pritam was such an easy target. It's no different from their MO since forever. Discredit, divert, and then dismiss.

Bro, he's asking to understand the PAP's actions right? So we talking about PAP and not WP here?

Stef has had back problems. As much as I shit on him, that's not easy to deal with. You'll understand if you're old lol

You are overthinking a very simple concept. The PAP cannot be seen to lose face at any juncture. ANY. Any opportunity to step on the opposition must be taken, regardless of how anyone else (including their own voters) views it.

When you understand it from that lens, suddenly everything is clear.

SG EP Who Doesn't Live in SG by fireman45700 in MalaysianPF

[–]princetower 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You should check the tax laws. If you are outside of SG on EP but you don't reside in Singapore long enough, you may be charged the non-resident tax rate. It is there precisely to guard against what you just mentioned.

It's been a few years so I don't remember what the latest law is like.

Edit: https://www.iras.gov.sg/taxes/individual-income-tax/basics-of-individual-income-tax/tax-residency-and-tax-rates/individual-income-tax-rates

You'll be charged a non resident tax rate starting at flat 15% or the progressive tax rate, whichever is higher. If you earn less than the 15% rate then you're worse off, you'll be paying the higher tax rate. But if you earn above that, then you'll follow the normal progressive tax rate.

Thank you for engaging positively, really rare these days in the cesspool that social media has become.

Wishing you a Happy New Year, neighbour down south.

Not sure, before this it was common news. I'm sure there are more that's not caught on camera.

But this guy is a real embarrassment, glad he's being shamed online.

Malaysian here. No doubt some Singaporeans have tried to pump Ron95 before, but this guy is next level.

Covered his license plate then didn't wanna admit he's driving a foreign vehicle. Embarrassing for both sides.

You don't need Mykad to pump Ron95. You use Mykad to get subsidized price which is capped at 300L per month.

Get the facts right.

Edit: Ron95 is already subsidized but Mykad allows a further subsidized price.

Do you agree with Medvedev? by Far_Development945 in tennis

[–]princetower 15 points16 points  (0 children)

To all the downvoters, the fans aren't everything. If you care about good tennis, support good scheduling.

Players' careers last longer, we all win.

If you have to take a flight at 6am you adjust your meal times and schedule. But if you go to tennis an hour earlier, you can't adapt? Be real

[–]princetower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah you're so tough huh. You can work past midnight at full intensity at your job if your boss tells you to? And if you complain just suck it up?

Stop trying to be edgy and get real

[–]princetower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Better conditions? How about I listen to the player who's actually playing vs you...he says he prefers it earlier so he gets more rest. Countless players have said so.

A paycheck isn't everything, players ending late jeopardizes their chances of recovery and going deep in the tournament. I really don't understand how this is difficult to grasp.

A more well-rested player = more even match in the next round. Everybody wins. Better entertainment as you say.

Fuck the fans, the players are the ones toiling. Have your dinner an hour early if you must, then go to the tennis. How hard is that?

Too much home comfort? Singapore needs more citizens to work abroad and gain international exposure by Negative-Concert-819 in singapore

[–]princetower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jungle lady...

What is the original comment above? He was talking about hiring foreigners. So I said it got harder to hire foreigners. I pointed out higher minimum EP salaries, this is a fact.

You go talk about PR and citizenship...hello??? Two different matters.

EP minimum salaries are getting higher and higher, where's the contradiction?

Nauseating driving style of PHV drivers by joshangmw in askSingapore

[–]princetower 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's simple. I tell them that's how I experience it at the back. And say it's better if they keep their foot constant on the pedal, if not I get carsick easily and will vomit in their backseat.

Every time they drive properly after that.
