This is not what I meant. I mean how can the chinese hawker in batam survive with selling us 10k food

Batam Chinese got poor and rich ones as well...
I know a few who beg to live, one who clean shoes by the stall, and eat the left overs by others on the table before it is cleaned up.
The chinese there are not big spenders, they work and save what they can. A simple food there does not cost much, and they try to sell wherever they can, usually in the day market. I know one who sells food in the morning, and at night, sells at A2 foodcourt.
They make a decent living and trying their best to survive. Of cos, not all chinese are good.
Some stores are distribution centres, where they sell to other islands as well. It goes down the chain. The things you see in malls are usually the best, and of cos, caters to the rich and foreigners.
That is why they see singaporeans as rich, as our money is big. Many aunties are willing to marry or even be 2nd wife of a singaporean.
One thing to note that even singaporeans are rich, please do no look down on others, as there are "hidden dragons, crouching tigers too"... I am referring to the rich.. They easily have more money in their account than you and me combined.
And also always note .. NOT ALL GALS ARE FOR SALE.
