but... still a guest Wham....Wham wrote:Saint, Some years ago i politely asked some old singaporean man if he was vacating his parking spot as he was sitting there with the door open and appeared to be leaving and i was in need of a spot. The old Ba$tard yelled at me and said "who do you think you are? Don't you know you're just a guest." And i thought, "if this is the way you treat guests...."
I then also realized that i probably pay more in taxes than he does. I DESPISE the stupid trap of calling us HUGE minority of Ex Pats "guests." We may be a small minority, but we pay an ENORMOUS % of taxes and without us so called "guests" this place would be in an economic depression. Furthermore, with the exception of a few Malays, we are ALL guests in the melting pot. So spare me the guest BS. I am a tax paying non resident soon to be a PR.
