Why Malaysians are not included ?
i guess if Malaysians is included it may be 35% or more. Ha! Ha!
WB:-

1) Rule # 1, do not lose money.
2) Rule # 2, refer to # 1.
3) Not until you can manage your emotions, you can manage your money.

Truism of Investments.
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.

NB:-

If Sg labour laws don't give special treatment to msians, they will be fighting with other FTs for jobs. I feel that these msians dont appreciate that fully.

Msians know how to take advantage of Singapore. Come here with loaded cheap petrol, packet rice, and use the Sunday free parking. Take up jobs, convert to ringgit, buy landed/condo in Iskandar. No need serve army is best. So they r blessed, hope they appreciate how well Sg has treated them.

Well we have to appreciate them as well. They are willing to take some of the lower paying jobs in our manufacturing industry

They are willing to take lower pay because it is considered high back in their home town. Manufacturing Singaporean workers will say they suppressed the salary. Manufacturing Singapore boss will say they help keep business cost down.

So whether they are appreciated depends on which side of equation you are in.

So, it is better to give them a higher pay or rather send them back to malaysia so that our fellow singaporeans can get unsuppressed salary?

Please don't send them back, Yeo.

We have similar culture and historical connections.

I even envision one day that we might be a same country again.
