SCMP article re: local v expat terms

[Siu Mo To]

I was born in HK, emigrated overseas when I was a kid and now holding a foreign passport. Did my time in GA and airlines. KA offered me a local contract just because I hold a HKID despite:

1. I paid for my own trainig.
2. I have experience similar to other expats.
3. I am away for 10+ years, with no family and not having a place to live in HK.

I voted with my feet. Got a job across the Pearl River estuary. Probably not a wise decision in terms of job security but I know I am doing the right thing.
Hmmm... it may not be so bad after all - lower cost of living, lower tax and much shorter time to command.
