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.

Am sure the people in Lehman Brothers worked v v hard as well making those sub prime bets and so do all the bankers selling the resulting CODs to unsuspecting customers. The banking industry is overpaid, attracting all the top brains....working hard too to suck the lifeblood out of their customers and barely looking out for their customers' interests.
