It's not fair to equate its location with income levels or quality life in a place like Sg. It's not organized the way big cities in the US or western Europe are.
My point about it being relatively impoverished was that the majority of the Indian immigrant laborers live there. Relative to the average Sg citizen, they are living in poverty.
- crdb 11y agoNo, they do not. They live in areas like the West industrial zones where rent is much cheaper, and commute to the sites by bus. HDBs, the government-built social housing towers you might see in photos, are by law racially mixed to population proportions and not available to non-citizen (some are available to permanent residents, which WP holders are not). The lowest class by salary of any society lives, by definition, in poverty compared to the others.
