Singaporeans are very lazy? - dynamite - 27-01-2022
I overheard an old foreman talking to a Malaysian worker in a lift just now. They were talking about locals joining their team. Old man said during earlier covid time many local join but frequently never turn up for work. After a while quit because found other jobs.

He could be a Malaysian too, and PR for decades....
A lot of Malaysians remained Malaysians after decades of holding a PR here, and refused to convert....

Many Malaysians want to remain as PRs of Singapore, cos what they earn here are 3times more than what they get in Malaysia. After collecting their CPF money and savings, the plan to retire in Malaysia, buy a bungalow and lived like a king. To be a Spore PR has many advantages........

I think they like to talk big but when come to execution, either no way to ensure properly or totally plan to create a mess, yet no one monitor them.

cannot compare like this ,
Malaysian come SG work Obviously due to Strong Sin dollars.
No doubt some don't profit much due to SIN dollars partly they have to rent a room in SG pay in SIN Dollar deduct here and there.
also have to scrap , save in order to profit due to Strong Sin dollars.
But for locals is entire family here , grandparents too , kids etc

You paint a very somber situation of those in the other side of the coin. In many ways Singapore is a good place to put down roots.......
