台勞輸出啓示錄
A number of media outlets in Taiwan have shared the horror story of a young, 18 year old, Taiwanese student who came to Singapore to work and study.
The report aired on Chung T’ien Television and also shared on ChinaTimes.com followed the story of a boy, Yi, who had flown alone to Singapore to work and also to study English.
The conditions he faced here were not only very different from the agency’s brochure but also highly unsanitary.
In an interview, Yi explained that he felt cheated and shared information about his living conditions here.
He was forced to stay in a small dormitory barely 4m x 4m, with only enough space in the wardrobe for his suitcase. The toilet was shared with about 6 to 8 others and situated outside of the dorm and congestion was common in the evenings.
The bunk beds were rickety and the mattress stale and musty. The blankets and bedding even had fleas causing his arms and legs to be covered in insect bites.
The table that the residents were supposed to share was also broken. The whole living dorms were very old and dirty. Yi also explained that his pay was just barely enough to survive. While he was supposed to earn NTD$30,000 (about SG$1,250), he had to pay a significant portion in agency fees and another part for rent meaning he was left with only NTD$14,000 (about SG$590).
Due to the high cost of living in Singapore, he has to carefully budget in order to survive.
He said that the conditions are so different from the agency’s advertisements and while many Taiwanese students are attracted to Singapore due to its so called “high standard of living”, reporters warned that students must be careful to enquire after all the small details to ensure they are not “cheated”.
Singapore remains an attractive location for students from Taiwan to come to work and improve their English. (therealsingapore)

Things To Do For The Rich (fiked.com)
#1. Travel To Space Via The Virgin
Galactic Whether you are a Star Wars, Star Trek or
Buck Rogers fan, the chances are that you all have one thing in common; you
would love to travel to outer space, and who wouldn’t! Many of us have dreamed
about flying high above the Earth’s atmosphere and traveling into the great
unknown. Well if you are one of these people then your luck may be about to
change; if you are super-rich, you will soon have the ability to become a
galactic space tourist through Richard Branson’s newest
venture – The Virgin Galactic, this amazing leap in travel is allowing space
travel a reality to those who are wealthy enough to afford it. Prices for the
Galactic are said to cost $200,000 and to secure your seat you will need to pay
a whopping $20,000 deposit (10% of the overall cost).
#2.
Have Your Own Sky Scraper Or Tower Built This is something that a lot of
high-powered businessmen and women crave, the chance to have their very own
‘Trump Towers’ This is more about having a sky scraper or large building built
not only for them but for their business and it is not something that
impossible, in fact it’s far from it. Donald Trump has many buildings which he
owns, many are hotels, some are more personal and private, so the dream of
having your own tower is not impossible at all.
#3. Start Your Own Hotel And Casino In
Las Vegas One step up from actually spending the
week in a penthouse of one of the finest hotels in the world; is to actually
own one yourself. If you have the money to do it and the planning permission to
boot, then you are going to be able to start your very own hotel and casino
business. Sure this is one hell of a competitive market but then nothing worth
having is easy right?
#4. Build Your Own Theme Park How cool would this one be? Imagine having your very own theme park,
it would be amazing, you could go on any of the rides for free (not that it
would matter about money if you are that rich), you could open the theme park
up at any time of the day or night, how amazing would that be! Just think of
the money you could make charging people to enter the theme park, this would be
a fun investment indeed.
#5. Go On A First Class Around- Traveling around-the-world for the super-rich comes with a few
perks though; traveling aboard a luxury aircraft in a first class capacity.
Flying first class is every airline passengers dream- come-true; think of the
leg room, the personal service, the exquisite food and top-notch champagne on
ice. First class travel is definitely the way to go if you can afford it.
#6. Travel Italy By Ferrari The ultimate way to travel around the beautiful country of Italy is
of course by Ferrari; a car manufacturer that everyone knows about. Ferrari are
one of the most expensive car makers in the world and their lavish designs and
extravagant attention to detail are easily noticed by fans and enthusiasts
alike. Traveling around Italy would be a great experience in itself but renting
(or even buying if you are that well-off) a beautiful Ferrari in the classic
red paint tones which we all know and love, would be a dream-come-true. Imagine
the looks from onlookers, imagine the roar of the engine as you travel around
the winding roads of Italy; just think about the feeling of power, freedom and
the sense of really being alive you would get from driving through the open
roads of Italy.
Questions:
What would you feel if you were born in a
wealthy family?
What are the things the rich do every day?
How much money is rich?
How would you spend your money if you were
filthy rich?
How the super-rich earned their money?
What do you think the idea that travelling
to space?
Do you want to build your own theme park,
and hotel if you were rich?
What do you think the idea that travelling
Italy by Ferrari?
跟連勝文一樣有錢 要做什麼?
廣告的內容，大概就是說: 哎呀，都跟連勝文一樣有錢了，當然是去爽爽過啊，幹嘛出來選市長案
呢? 所以連勝文真的是抱持著跳火坑的心情來選的
但影片中的受訪者呆呆的，居然只說得出要去環遊世界，吃美食，抽脂手術這種窮人等級的答
拜託，如果你跟連勝文一樣有錢
當然要把你的思想升級
從窮人的腦袋，轉變成富人的腦袋，OK?
不懂嗎?
讓酸民我來教教大家
如果你跟連勝文一樣有錢，至少要做以下的事情才夠得上連公子的等級，好嗎?
1. 空降到悠遊卡這種人人想進去的大公司當董事長
這種空降最威風了，一堆中階主管努力好多年，想爬到上位，但你突然就空降當大頭，毫無資歷就可以管一堆有專業有資歷的老鳥，這超爽的，完全顯示出你是有錢人的地位。
2. 把電視主播，一擲千金
有錢人的女友，當然不可以是小模等級的，好歹是要年輕貌美的新聞主播才行。最好還是天天砸錢到每個電視台送花送跑車，砸到全台灣的年輕主播都願意甩了男友來當你女朋友，這可是全台灣男人都會羨慕死的。而且你如果能達成這個成就，你其實還超越了連公子喔 (噓，小聲)
3. 娶富二代美女回家當老婆
電視主播雖然貌美，但終究有錢人結婚要講究門當戶對，所以不能娶回家。如果你跟連勝文一樣有錢，當然要娶個如同蔡依珊這種富二代公主回家當老婆。娶富二代公主的好處，一來不用擔心結婚對象會篡奪你的財產，二來也具備洗後代基因的作用，三來如果下次要創業的時候，除了老爸以外，還有老婆可以借錢，真是一舉三得。
4. 創業時，隨隨便便都拿個幾百萬美金當種子基金
如果你跟連勝文一樣有錢，你應該也很討厭聽到靠爸族這三個字，所以從事創業就是最好的洗白手段了。畢竟到了未來，如果有人批評你的財產都不知道怎麼來的時候，你可以理直氣壯的說你是靠創業自己賺來的。所以如果你跟連勝文一樣有錢，你一定要出來創個業才夠潮。
一般的創業者，要創業都只能辛苦的去借錢，有個幾十萬幾百萬台幣就很感恩了，但如果你跟連勝文一樣有錢，你出來創業一定要一開始就可以從親朋好友裡面拿個幾百萬美金，這樣可以把其他的創業者都氣死，這更顯得出你是有錢人的尊爵不凡。
5. 跟國外政要握手
如果你跟連勝文一樣有錢，也完成了以上四點，那下一個挑戰的成就，就是要跟國外的政要握手。沒看到連勝文可是握過習近平的手，這是連我們尊爵不凡的馬總統都無法達成的成就呢。
所以，你如果跟連勝文一樣有錢，那也要想辦法去握習近平，歐巴馬，或者是俄羅斯聖帝普丁的手。當然，跟這些世界級的大人物握手，豈是有錢就能夠做得到呢? 所以事先就要先花好幾年培養政商關係，好好成為這些國外政要在台灣利益的代理人，那你就有機會握到他們的手了。
如果你能完成這個成就，包準你可以氣死 99% 其他跟你一樣有錢的人，你可以成為天龍中的天龍，有錢人中的王者。
最後，這第六點，是最重要，也是最終極的成就
6. 空降選首都市長，然後開啟往總統的從政道路，完成政商兩棲百年家族霸業
在你把所有有錢人都氣死了之後，商場上的成就對你來說也已經沒什麼了。你要挑戰的下一步，就是出來政商制霸。
俗話說的好，富不過三代，特別是在台灣與中國這種環境，政治上你只要失勢，錢再多也可能被抄家抄掉。所以當你像連勝文一樣有錢，而且已經達成上面所有成就時，你要挑戰的就是，跑來空降選首都市長，用錢打垮在首都經營多年的國會議員，讓他們知道階級的差異是無法彌補的鴻溝。然後在當選首都市長後，氣勢如虹的直指下屆總統(或者是特首，如果已經不能選總統了的話 ) 的道路。
當達成了這個成就之後，基本上，你就已經是全台灣最屌的有錢人了。這才是如果你跟連勝文一樣有錢的話，你該做的事。
看到了吧，這就是有錢人跟你想的永遠都不一樣的證明。想要成為有錢人，就趕快轉換成連勝文這樣的有錢人腦袋的思維吧。

台勞輸出啓示錄
台勞輸出啓示錄：台灣能帶給下一代年輕人什麼未來？
當台灣的每月平均薪資還停留在四萬五，曾經和台灣並駕齊驅的競爭對手新加坡已經超過台幣九萬元。讓懷抱希望和夢想到新加坡打工的台灣年輕人，在短短三年內成長了十倍。
但大家不知道的是，這些透過仲介公司在新加坡找到工作的人，絕大多數拿的是最低階的工作准證ｗｐ，被歸類為『沒有技術的外國勞工』。不只薪水低於新加坡一般水準，新加坡政府還規定不能轉換雇主、不准懷孕，更不能嫁娶新加坡公民或永久居民，否則全都要遣送回國，比台灣對待外勞更嚴苛。
