sia sniffer You are of course right in most of what you say re SQ, certainly the discount LKY got on that Scotts Road Apartment was a typical example of double standards.
Of course not every ex-pat Pilot has the luxury of being able to leave SQ after the first 5 Year Bondage is up, and also you forget that until a year or so ago things in SQ were not that bad as one could assume at least a 3 months Bonus and taxes in Singapore have been reduced over the past few years.
Now things are entirely different as The Pilots are attacked on an almost daily basis both financially with loss of Salary, Provident Fund, Bonus and by Government Minister from the Senile One downwards.
Strange how we never hear from these Government Lackeys about the $2 Billion lost by the late CEO through his disastrous investments in Air NZ/ Ansett and Virgin Atlantic, which the SQ staff are having to pay for. Of course being part of the Singapore Establishment he goes onto being made a Director of a Bank!!!
