My brother's friend, an electrician from India, worked in singapore. He was like $400 USD per month (20,000 Indian rupees) like 6 years ago. He used to live in a place whose roof is corrugated mental, and this was in Singapore. There are lots of laborers in Singapore, whose incomes don't allow them to live in nicer parts. So, glorified shanty town type homes exist there.

Yes, Singapore probably couldn't exist without its poor guest workers. One of my in-laws is a long-time truck driver there for construction companies, and he and his colleagues live in makeshift shanties on construction sites, making 450 USD per month while working 12 hours a day.

It is sickening to see people boasting of the beauty of civilized Singapore and shaming the poor laborers, the ones who make the city beautiful and are massively underpaid for their effort.
