If an expatriate captain was on the Lhe incident, how many of you would think that he would have kept his job. Let alone his command!! I think alot of non SQ don't really know what happened for 35secs at 200 - 300 ft.
a345xx - your statement of difference from local to expat being 25-40% is utter bollocks. The only significant addition is the housing allowance. The new system pays a housing allowance regardless if you use it. Schooling allowance is to pay, then claim. Educate your kids in local school for $200 a year and you claim $200. Send them to the American, Canadian or Tanglin and you pay far more than you can claim. Maybe some expats want there children educated in local schools, maybe not.
The 10k a year, to me, is for the local CPF.
