A car may be a despreciative object but it also brings prestige to the owner. Would a big firm hire someone to a top position if that someone takes mrt and bus everyday? A car also saves the owner precious time. Time is also equal money.
However, i discourage the buying of luxury or sports cars if you cant lead a comfortable lifestyle because of the car.
Come on la...Cars, condo, Credit cards, chicks, cash are all the things decent men dream to have la.

- The Singapore idea is flawed. Please
do not adopt it for your own country's sake.
The reason why Singapore needs to give high salaries is because no person of integrity is going to be a "Yes man" to the Father and Son dictatorship.
The side effects of giving high salaries are that:
1. Only "Yes men" are recruited
2. Only greedy men are recruited.
3. Not accountable for major mistakes because high salary is too good to give up.
4. Singapore is run like a company. "Leaders" are well paid executives.
5. "Leaders" spend their time thinking of ways to maximise profits for the company by taxing the people. Heard of TV/Radio licence tax? Yes, you need a licence to own a TV and radio in Singapore.
6. "Leaders" adopting a superior than thou attitude because they are well paid executives of Singapore Inc, not people representatives.
7. "Leaders" getting more greedy because they are used to the high life that their high salaries can afford them and want more. In effect they may be more susceptible to corruption.
7. Artificially inflating GDP growth to justify more pay increases and bonuses. The GDP per capita of USD$30,000 sounds impressive but let me give you an idea of the salaries the average joe is earning. Clerk - USD$800/month/44 hour week. Retail staff - USD$650/month.
NOTE: Singapore have bare minimal state welfare. Old people who cannot work, and have no family gets USD$215 per month and frequently go without electricity and meals.

her husband is an ang mor. No wonder she didnt take his surname.
One malaysian was also killed in the mumbai bombings. She probably died of smoke inhalation and later was also burnt. http://www.nst.com.my/Sunday/Frontpage/2415809/Article/index_html
Wonder what happened to sg one. Once again, news are censored so we dont know the cause of her death.
