Singapore is also First World country which is same as USA. Couple with the fact that Singapore Dollar is strong and the difference between SGD and USD is getting smaller. Talk to the cab driver or any other normal vietnamese on the street of Vietnam now, they will tell you Singapore is No. 1. And almost every other normal vietnamese is thinking of shifting to Singapore. I got 3 proposals from 2 different vietnamese entrepreneurs this year to date. all of them have son or daughters studying in Singapore and they want me to start a company with my name and let their son/daughter work in this company. They are not willing to pay for office rental as they want to use my office and they are also not willing to pay for others. Only willing to pay a small sum each month to me for helping. I think they have under-estimated the intelligence of singaporean.  |
In the 60s they earn US dollars from GIs. Now they wanna earn SG dollars from horny SG cheongsters.
Thanks for the insight into Vietnamese mentality. Didn't know they idolise Singapore so much. Looks like we're much appreciated in Vietnam then in Thailand. Must try it for myself in the coming months. See if I can feel like a VIP when I step into HCM or Hanoi. Vietnam is very favourable for Singaporeans for now. Haha.
Your Vietnamese business associates are asking for too much. Where got such good deals? Don't think any Singaporeans so dumb as to accept such proposals unless related by marriage.
