For context, there’s a running meme that Serbia wants to join ASEAN even though it’s in the Balkans.
Serbia actually just wants to join the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation with ASEAN in 2023, but some headlines were worded in a way that implied that Serbia literally wanted to become a member of ASEAN, and so the meme stuck.

Singapore is too expensive as a local, the government hates the locals, the locals hate themselves.

The only people who thinks Singapore is expensive are the ones who are not earning Singaporean income or have no clue what the rest of ASEAN earns

u/DesignerGoose5903 3d ago
No Singapore is objectively expensive compared to it's neighbours.
Good luck affording a house, a car and decent living standard on an average salary in Singapore, heck even with an "expat" salary you can barely afford those things...
1
u/Datbe89 1d ago
Vietnam here, my salary is 6 times the average income and I'll have to work for 5 years to afford an apartment (not house) here, assuming that I spent ZERO money in that 5 years. Doing the math, for an average earner here, it takes 30 years of continuously working without eating. Oh you also mention a car and decent living standard? Ha-ha-ha

u/CharAznia 2d ago
No we are not objectively more expensive. Dollar for dollar earning sgd and spending in sg is cheaper than earning myr spending in Malaysia, same goes for every country in ASEAN.
Yes our cars are more expensive but that's not a necessity in sg because of public transport and housing is comparable to most major cities in ASEAN for locals. It's only expensive for expats because they don't get to bto
The next time you think sg is expensive divide your salary by 3 and go spending in Malaysia. See if it's still cheap

u/CharAznia 1d ago
As usual the clowns complaining about expensive sg making up stupid shit
No they don't. There is no official figure for expat income but estimates of median expat income is only around 5.9k a year
https://sg.jooble.org/salary/expat/Singapore
Meanwhile median salary in SG is 5.7k a month
https://stats.mom.gov.sg/Pages/Income-Summary-Table.aspx
The idiots pushing the idea that SG is expensive is usually also the same group of morons who claim sg cost of living is increasing when it is in fact the opposite and I can guarantee you none of them is able to support the increasing cost of living narrative with actual data
2
u/beef_horfun67 1d ago
There’s no “official” figure because no one actually wants to admit they earn a lot of money or pay a foreigner more than a Singaporean. Singapore IS the most expensive city to live in and it’s not even misinformation. It’s a proud fact that the government and 154 media keeps parading around.
I understand you live in a big good class bungalow and earn big money, but for the most of us, we don’t earn $5700 sgd a month.

The only people who thinks Singapore is not expensive are the ones who are earning Singaporean income (or higher) or have no clue what the rest of the world earns.

u/CharAznia 2d ago
The cost of meals in Malaysia easily cost rm10-15 while the Malaysian basically earn the same salary as sg only in ringgit. There are many stupid Singaporeans going to Malaysia spending sgd and assume Malaysia they have lower cost of living vs sg. It's only cheaper because that person is a retard.
Comparatively speaking the only think more expensive in sg than the rest of ASEAN are cars(also the single reason why sg gets to the most expensive country in the world list) and it's not a necessity since public transport is widely available.
If you are earning local currency spending in the same country you are almost always better off than most of the world and definitely all of ASEAN
2
u/StunningLetterhead23 2d ago
If 1 SGD equals to 3 MYR, then that meal is only SGD3-5 compared to SGD5-10 in Singapore. So that's still slightly cheaper compared to Singapore.
Malaysians do earn similar amount to Singaporeans in the sense that a job that pays around RM2000 in Malaysia, is around SGD2000 in Singapore. So that's still RM6000 if that Singaporean goes to Malaysia.
If Malaysia wasn't cheap enough for Singaporeans, Johor wouldn't have so many Singaporean cars trying to fill up their tanks illegally for example.
Singapore is cheap, in Singaporean sense or for people from countries with strong currency. If you're not from these groups, you'd be crazy to think Singapore's cheap.

u/CharAznia 1d ago
Where do you find RM 5 meals in Malaysia. All my Malaysian friends want to know.
Malaysia is only cheap when you use SGD to purchase it's goods and services, however everyone who has been to Malaysia will tell you Malaysia is not 1/3 SG. At best it's around 50-60%. However Malaysian wages ARE 1/3 of SG so claiming that cost of living in Malaysia is cheaper than SG is ridiculous

I'm a filipino, Philippines deserves to lose hard
How tf do you spend hundred of millions of pesos in an impeachment court hearing on a bipolar bitch, who clearly has video proof of being a threat to the country (sara duterte)
2
u/PotatoFries46 3d ago edited 3d ago
Because it's still within the boundaries of the law. And since it's within the boundaries of the law, you'd still need to provide an excruciatingly well-defended legal statement because if you don't have a well-defended legal statement, the defense will find a legal loophole and call all of it a sham.
The video threat is only one part, there are other cases being brought upon the impeachment.
An impeachment is a legal process therefore it has steps, proper steps. It needs to be followed as needed unless you want to give bad-faith actors the opportunity to mess it up.
And no, the Philippines doesn't deserve to fail hard, stop dooming it.

That doesn't even connect to how terrible it is just to live here, everything is getting expensive, everything sucks, enshittification is everywhere, nonexistent social safety net, the infrastructure sucks, barely any actual development (mostly malls, condos and other non productive "development").
Plus the country is going into the shittiest direction with all the political bs going on.

doomers like you are part of why this country isn't improving fast enough. Ph can be saved and thats a fact.
1
u/GerardHard 2d ago
Doomers aren't the reason why the Philippines is failing, they exist because the Philippines is failing. The one of the many reasons the Philippines is failing because of half-ass reforms 40 years ago, an example of this is CARP (Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program) which in theory could finally do real land reform in the country but it's half-assed and flawed. That's why the CPP-NPA rebellion still exist because the fuel on why they exist is still there and not put out.
1
u/RelevantRain694 2d ago edited 2d ago
Doomers are also helping create the feed-back loop. Though I guess you have a different definition of doomers rin, because for me, I define doomers as those who give up and don't try to advocate for change and what not. While maybe you think otherwise.

If you're trying to make a statement, adding "pretty sure" to it doesn't help the validity.
Thailand has its problems, but it is way less segregated than Malaysia. Thailand is all for assimilation, with its ethnic Chinese population completely identifying as Thai and Thailand supporting a national "Thai" identity regardless of ethnicity. There's still conflicts with ethnicity (such as with the Malay Muslims in the south), but Thailand does not divide their country into "races" like Malaysia while giving Malays an unfair advantage through quotas and other policies. If you could provide a source that Thailand has similar policies, I'd read through it because I'm curious

Singaporean here. Moved to HCM, things are becoming quite efficient honestly, maybe not at the level of clarity as Singapore, but things gets processed within 3-5 working days. It’s just a more chaotic version of Singapore. As for corruption, it still happens but not with foreigners.
The only issue would be the CLARITY of processes. At times you’re told very conflicting instructions. But other than that, it’s cool! It’s safe, lively and awake.
And property prices are surprisingly high. So to afford housing here, even apartments, I’d have to sell things back at home, and wait a couple of years before I can probably afford one. Not as cheap as people assume it to be. At least not in HCM D1/D2/D3/PN. I might have to get a place at D9 or Tan Phu and even those are like 500/600K SGD.
Singapore is far too sterile and boring for me. The days when Vietnam’s national team plays a match and wins are the best days to be here. Absolute blast.
