some expats are really "jian"...

I spoke to one recently and he was talking about the high expenses working in Singapore, ie. renting a condo... So I told him HDB is an option and he said he didn't want to lower his standard of living.... -.-

There are so many spoiled FTs , by our too friendly policy.

If the expat is here as a single even though married, then of course he will opt for a condo. If he is here with wife and family, then maybe the whole 4-rm or 5-rm HDB. Also it depends on the terms of his employment contract; which we don't really know.

A) Buying a security is buying RISK not Return
B) You can control RISK (to a certain level, hopefully only.) But definitely not the outcome of the Return.

Many owners are fighting for lesser tenants , thus lower rents.

Something that i don't understand, FTs come here take up HR, admin, supporting roles. Are these skills that Singaporeans do not have? Our new graduates from NUS, NTU, SIM, SMU cannot handle such tasks??

Let's see how many % of Singaporeans really don't understand in 2015 or 2016 lol! i think it will be still around 55 % if not 60%. Due to 4Ks ma?
