Took a cab this evening. It was driven by a Production Director at a manufacturing enterprise whose wife was an Auditor. He said their commitments, primarily their children’s education meant they were short of money. He drove for ‘Grab’ as a way to get extra money after the stress of his daily life.
He complained there were now so many further education facilities, many of them outreaches from British Universities, the city was full of graduates who couldn’t get a job. Immigrants were entering the country and taking jobs for lower pay. The Chinese are pouring money into Malaysia and Singapore, developing industry and residences but primarily for the benefit of the Chinese. Many of the apartments being built are not available to people living in those countries, rather they are only for the wealthy Chinese, sometimes as a buy one in China and get one free in Malaysia / Singapore
The problems the UK thinks are UK specific and due to the EU are not, the problems are world wide.
