Swiss standard of living remains elusive to most S'poreans - EvertonDiehard - 20-02-2024
The quality of life in present day S'pore for the masses is nowhere close to Switzerland, even in 1984. The policies that have driven rapid economic growth as well as our population expansion have created a myriad of social problems. Apart from the wealthy minority, the Swiss standard of living remains elusive to most S'poreans. What happened to then PM Goh Chok Tong's promise to us?

At that time lau goh was losing his popularity as the crown prince was waiting angrily to take over. So to prevent losing his position very early, he made the so called wish list to elevate or to make the people happy with his leadership skill in improving the economy

If Woody Goh gets quizzed about his promise at that time, he would probably claim that he was misquoted. Our former PM will say that he has delivered on his promise of a Swiss Cost of Living for S'poreans.

Woody and his family have been going through a prolonged rough patch since he made that unfulfilled promise. First, his wife put her foot in her mouth by claiming that TT Durai's $25K a month salary is "peanuts" for a CEO of a charity. Second, he slammed S'poreans who emigrated as "quitters" when his own daughter lives in England. Third, Woody himself declared anybody earning less than $1 million a year as "mediocre" and unfit to be a PAP Minister. Fourth, his son Goh Jin Hian is now in trouble with the law.

I fully agree that our leaders don't owe S'poreans a living. If the 80% who cannot afford to live in private property and the 89% who do not have enough money to buy a car want to join those who own both, then they have to work and invest till the day that they are able to do so.

The problem is that S'pore is tiny. We have no hinterland to escape from this expensive urban jungle. If Swiss nationals find staying in Zurich or Geneva too costly, they can always shift to places like Uri or Obwalden where the cost of living is significantly lower. The cost of living is no different for S'poreans in Bukit Timah compared to Bedok; only the value of their homes would differ.

My cousin and his wife came to S'pore to work from Malaysia. After a few decades here, they retired to Ipoh to live in a sprawling landed home and own 2 cars.

Woody should have made it clear that the Swiss Standard of Living is for the 20% who stay in private housing in S'pore. For the rest of the population, they only get to "enjoy" the Swiss Cost of Living.

within the same country man. a normal distributions for all. so how can all have high standard of living?
unless foreigners are used to met the gap. but foreigners here are all very well paid. from top to bottom.
at bottom work pass the pay is way above other country. not to mention that a lot of it got taken by their own country middle man. many borrow heavily to get jobs here so in the end 1-2 years income will to towards payment.
