- jb1991 5y agoI've worked in cities around the world and never seen elsewhere this particular kind of gap in opportunity based on where you are from as demonstrated in Singapore. But my example was just one example of this inequality. It can really weigh you down to live in it for some time if you are from a country with much more general freedom and attempts at social equality (i.e. much of europe or even the U.S.).
- beaunative 5y agoI can sort of understand where it might come from, but with that one example it is difficult to comprehend exactly what it's like.
- pydry 5y agoIt's across the whole social hierarchy. Some mainland Chinese bus drivers went on strike because the official pay scale dictated that they be paid less than Malays for the same job. They even said "look we understand why locals get paid more for the same job but why Malays? This is unfair" For their troubles they were arrested, imprisoned, had the shit kicked out of them before being deported. That's still better than how Bangladeshi migrant workers are treated. The racism is not as bad as it is in, say, Saudi Arabia or Israel but it's still pretty bad.
