So why when bankers take home xxx,xxx we get so much flak? The cost of living in Singapore is so expensive. We bankers work as hard (arguably harder) than the other professions, plus ours is a cyclical industry. We have families to feed too and like everyone we work to put food on the table and aspire the Singaporean dream.
but, you must understand, the other professions provide an actual service.

you guys take people's money, give them 0.01% interest, loan it out to them again at 5%-15% interest and pocket the gains.

that's why the common people dislike you.
