You clearly don't know what 'foreign workers' are. I'll give you a hint: People from another country . . . and who says they have to be more expensive? You've read too many books about expats - it's a shame you've never experienced it yourself.

Yes. One single candidate in the wonderful democracy that is Hong Kong. A Beijing-picked candidate at that.

Grow up.

Sorry to upset your drift, but debating bank tellers packages is not what this thread is about. 2004 is a very long time ago now, so your disagreement is also dated.
An election with one candidate. Where do you stand on that? TODAY.

Yes, indeed . . . as everyone here, bar three, are so fond of telling you: don't be an idiot.

Ah, but I did. Well I didn't 'find' her, she was there when I dropped in. Married to a Chinese HKer . . . Tell me more about expat packages

Of course you did.

You're the one losing your rag on this and other topics, so try to discuss the thread topic and try not to say 'whatabouttheusa/australia/EU' etc ad nauseum:

^^ True. Getting back to my post #39, don't you agree with Tim Hamnett- it's ridiculous spending all this money on the election when there is only one candidate!

Oh dear . . . sabang, wake up and admit you're wrong . . . again

Who can legally work in Hong Kong?


Eligible applicants must have good educational qualifications and possess special skills, knowledge or experience of value to and not readily available in the Hong Kong in order to obtain Hong Kong employment visa. There is no quota system limiting the number of Hong Kong work visas under this scheme.

PH, you are being stupid. A westerner fluent in both Cantonese and Mandarin (a minimum requirement to be a teller) is not going to work for a bank tellers salary in HK, or be hired as an expat for a role that is quite adequately filled by local Chinese on local salaries! I repeat, in 12.5 years living there I never encountered a single western bank teller- because there was not a single one. I repeat, find me one single example of a western bank teller in HK. You can't. Put up or shut up, and stop polluting this thread with your off topic, childish petulance.

You first, you fucking moron.

Here ya go losers, enjoy your new career-

Average Teller Salary in Hong Kong


HK$163,942/ year

Teller Salary in Hong Kong | PayScale

Guess we'll be drinking at different bars- the expats I know in banking & finance earn that and more per month.

The fucking moron can't help himself.

Now he's googling salaries as if it has anything to do with the real issue of this thread.

Stuff a sock in it sabang, you boring wanker.

meaning anything that shows China in a bad light will instantly be flooded by one of the three wankateers. Polluting, obstructing and distracting.

They're so predictable.

Usually Hoohoo or sabang will start the bullshit, then when called will then desperately try and change the subject.

Skidmark will come along and try (and fail) to show he knows what anyone is talking about, by cutting and pasting shit with words to big for him to understand, and the scandihooligan will come along talking fuck knows what incomprehensible rubbish.

There you have the four wanketeers.

I'd suggest you

Do you have as little knowledge of banking as you do with visa regulations?
I repeat - I have met a western woman working as a bank teller.

Stop

Did you, though? Really?

You seem to be under the assumption that every foreigner (all 680.000 of them) are on an expat package . . . grow up and educate yourself on where you think you were a banker

You are so predictable 'arry- there you go, posting yet another childish, ad hom post that has absolutely nothing to do with the thread topic- and in that same post you accuse others of being dragging a thread off topic. Any smart reader can see straight through your bullshit.

Your suggestion that an election with only one candidate is a waste of money would be better served by supporting a viable candidate from outside the influence of PRC.

To do otherwise is to accept failure for your beloved HK, now mired in faux regulation, but soon to be rescued by the unopposed wonder that is The PRC.

The decision for business to stay or go is being made for them, however flimsy Chinese ownership might appear.

a viable candidate from outside the influence of PRC.

A foreigner? Like that will ever happen. The last Governor left in 1997- and many of us were glad to see the back of him.

Yet again you jump from one strawman to another. A Caucasian bank teller cannot exist because she'd be an 'expat' with the whole package . . . never mind that over half a million foreign workers are in HK . . . working - NOT on expat packages.

Now someone not under the influence of the PRC has to be a foreigner . . . in your world-view.

Good Lord

He should be good as a slalom skier. All that sloping shoulders comes naturally to him.

But you virtually begged for someone to answer your question? But you don’t like the answer?

The Chief Executive of HK will continue to be a hongkie, and ethnically Chinese. Not a mainlander, not a foreigner. That is only common sense! HK people have their own identity you know. As do Taiwanese & Singaporean, for that matter.

Doe sabang think we don't know how the chinkies select the chief stooge?

Whatever sabang 'thinks', every word he said there is correct. Whatever you are anyone else 'thinks', if you actually have an interest in HK and it's unique characteristics, this HK Ezine ('Friday Everyday') may be of interest to you-

You are being redirected...

But if your only casual interest is to push the standard China schtick, in the fallacious belief that HK is some sort of magical democratic trojan horse to convert mainland China to the 'one true belief', I really wouldn't bother.

Hoohoo and sabang are like some kind of retarded hive mind these days.

As a matter of interest, how long have you spent in HK 'arry?
