Unfortunately go go go is the default mode for most Singaporeans because of how the way Singapore operates. Stop and you get left behind. It is indeed a conscious decision and certain level of awareness to stop, pause, be in the moment.

There are many businesses in the US that have their employees working remotely. This started out from the covid lockdown. Employees don't have to commute in traffic, and employers can move to smaller offices. It is a win-win for some.

If you wanna live longer, Malaysia is still better than Singapore hands down. Meats, seafoods, fruits & vegetables much fresher, honestly Singapore just can't compete.
@corporatebreakoutcouple
@corporatebreakoutcouple Месяц назад
Vegetables, definitely. Unfortunately for fruits, we find that most of the good quality fruits are sent to Singapore, leaving less desirable ones in Malaysia (aside from plucking them fresh from the trees). Seafood and meats are on par. The quality comes down to how much one is willing to spend on quality

10:20 - I found driving on the HWY in Malaysia that other drivers will just merge into my car and try and cause me to brake, and for no apparent reason. Both lanes in front clear, but other driver wants to swap lanes right into me. Why? I had this happen so many times. Other than that, driving in KL is hectic but as long as the other drivers understand what you are trying to do, they generally give space. Give and take or the city will stand still!

@junweiliow8899
@junweiliow8899 Месяц назад
if u're on a highway and other drivers keep pausing infront of u and u needa keep pressing the brake pedal, it is highly likely that you have offended the other person (an angry mob). These are more subtle cues. For example, if I noticed a car next to me, I must either drive past it or drive slower than it, I must never drive until I reach them and then stay at the same speed. This is interpreted as insulting/provoking them for a car race. If you didn't do that, u might have accidentally cut into their lane, causing them having to slow down significantly, and they got extremely furious at you, that's when they'll create trouble for you. When you see cars driving fast and you are not driving as fast, make sure that you get out of that lane to clear way for them. If you are still driving slow on the right-most lane, then good luck. Angry mob will flash their high beams at you all the way, and tailgating you at a very pressuring speed and distance. I hope this helps to clarify some of ur doubts.
@peted3637
@peted3637 Месяц назад
@@junweiliow8899 Nope, I'm talking about 3 or even 4 lanes, very thin traffic, and I'm on cruise control and staying in my lane, sometimes no one in front of me, and only one or two behind me. I'm doing 120 or even 130 in a big white Toyota 4WD and then some POS Perodua or whatever comes crawling past me and tries to swap lanes into me as if they have no idea that I'm there at all. I blast the horn and they lurch back into their own lane. That is the sort of weird behaviour that I am talking about. I'm usually in lane 2 or 3 because lane 1 and 2 usually has slow cars or trucks in it. I do not hog the right-hand lane, not here in Aus, and not in Malaysia. There was no reason at all for them to need to change lanes, none. It was almost as if they were trying to cause an accident.

Penang is like Peking. Loads of Chinese as the majority race. Remote Working IS easy or a Digital Nomad. A good internet connection with 1Giga Connection {Rm250 per month) 4 video screens. good printer/scanner and most important you got have software. Adobe, Canva Pro Front End and maybe back end. Database creation and python and java. Hmmm. There was NOT Mentioned anything and was sticking to the high costs centres and coffee shops and cash expenses.

There might be some singaporeans moving to Malaysia and working and living there, but there are thousands of almost a million Malaysians who become Singapore citizens. I guess there is no right or wrong. If you are contented living in the flat having a comfortable life, I guess it's no problem, even in Singapore. Unless you want more. Remember you lose something but you gain something. After all, there is no perfect country in the world.

Not done. Excuse is weak. Electricity not cheap : it's not cheap but this is no excuse. Nuclear is an option. Let me add excuse Space : scale vertically in a building. Reclaim land. Offshoring. So, even this would be a weak excuse. Not at you but in response to the points raised specifically.

For the remote work , you pay income tax in sg only ?
@corporatebreakoutcouple
@corporatebreakoutcouple Месяц назад
That's how it is in Malaysia and Singapore. If you are not earning RM, then you don't pay Malaysian income tax. However, Malaysia welcomes remote work because these guys stimulate the economy by spending more than the average Malaysian.
@tengjoolee
@tengjoolee Месяц назад
⁠@@corporatebreakoutcouple I don’t think you are correct. It is not as simple as not earning in RM. One’s physical presence in a country matters a lot - note especially the 183 days rule and the tax residency assumption that goes with it. This is a rather complex area. I would suggest a potential remote worker who resides in one country and draws salary in another country knows exactly what he or she is doing. Better still - take some professional tax advice.
@corporatebreakoutcouple
@corporatebreakoutcouple Месяц назад
@@tengjoolee the tax implications differ from country to country. As for Malaysia and Singapore, we are in the same boat as Caleb and his wife. We earn USD and SGD, reside in Malaysia and we are not tax residents of Malaysia even though in 2022, we stayed in Malaysia for more than 183 days. However yes, for everyone else, please consult a tax consultant if the need arises.
@tengjoolee
@tengjoolee Месяц назад
@@corporatebreakoutcouple Section 7 of the Malaysian Income Tax Act has nuances that can be very hard to understand. And the areas of double tax treaty and permanent establishment risk (for those who works for a company) can make one's head spin. Anyway, it seems you guys managed to sort it out, good for you! And I wish you both well. My 2 cents is that - remote working/ working from home/ digital nomad are very new phenomenas that many tax authorities in the world are still grappling with. Suffice to say - tax authority of any country is generally very very jealous of its rice bowl. So I hope your readers bear this in mind. Coz once the tax man comes knocking at your door, it can be damn leceh and you better have your ducks all lined up. Cheers.

@GNiz5 Месяц назад
@@tengjoolee Agree with you - these are muddy waters - for tax purposes, as a non-Malaysian, the visa status is key. On a work permit, then you are definitely a Malaysian tax resident. On the new digital nomad visa, income earned from sources in Malaysia is subject to Malaysian tax. Foreign sourced income is tax exempted till end of 2026 anyway. Long term social visit pass holders should not be working - and in most cases, earning a passive income from overseas sources is not income derived in Malaysia unless remitted into Malaysia. Always get professional tax advice in any case.

Don't take it the wrong way but have seen alot of these people from SG and MYS who migrated to Australia. Their self esteem especially the men seems to hit rock bottom when they couldnt command their perceived high status jobs in a foreign country. To make matter worse if their spouses seem to be doing much better in adjusting to new job roles opportunities over here.
