The unemployment payout is not much, enough for rent and food only. If we do the same in Spore, when unemployed are getting paid every month without doing any work many Sporeans will get jealous and angry, they will think it is unfair for them to work hard paying high tax to feed lazy people. Also Sporeans will not get used to high income tax, that is your gross pay looks sky high but your net income is 30-45% less after tax.

We have a lot of activities after dark, many shops close at 10 pm while in the UK nothing much to do after 6pm.

That system is implemented in Britain why not Spore? It is just a matter of differences in opinion on this issue isn't it? Afterall Britain used to be our colonial master so we should follow isn't it? Why act smart be different?

Proof so easy to get if one is determined. That is determined to be jobless so can queue up get monies urge is higher than go and get a decent job but pay so much tax to feed those not working. I prefer to join the not working population given the situation. Make no sense to work so hard.

The average annual salary of a Singaporean cannot be $76K............it is at a higher end of the spectrum................
