in singapore do you want to travel from bedok to jurong for a $1.2 salary? (assuming singaporeans are paid $200 higher)
Yes, I'm aware of that (half my relatives are Malaysian and most of them come to Singapore to work).
What I'm saying is, some Singaporeans seem quite willing to starve or depend on charity than to wake up earlier and travel a longer distance to work!
