Jobs scam in Singapore?
I saw an interesting article in the New Paper for 28 March publication.It is about jobs scam in Singapore.
If you are from Malaysia, you will know that there are advertisements in Malaysian newspapers that offers secure jobs in Singapore. Some claim that they can offer jobs as welders and also technicians. But when they entered Singapore, they end up with jobs that Singaporeans don't want.
There are a few reasons why foreigners (like me) want to work here?
1. Attractive currency exchange rate
2. Lifestyle
As for me, I am attracted with the currency exchange rate. If you can discipline yourself and managed to save some money while working here, the time spent here is worth it.
But then, the lifestyle here is sort of expensive. Every second requires money.
Just take an example, if you buy a car here, which not many Singaporeans themselves can't afford, you will need to spend a lot of money, no matter what. Because the parking space costs money, if you didn't buy the parking coupon, you will need to pay the fine, which is around $50.
It's no wonder the old folks here still need to work even when they have reach an age where their peers in another country can enjoy life.
