Gloomy New Year for China s Factory Workers

August 29, 2009 - 5:38 pm No Comments

Here in the outskirts of China’s financial capital, Shanghai, it is the country’s migrant workers who will bear the brunt of falling demand in major markets in Europe and North America.

This year, many have left for home early and may not come back to work in the factories, which are being shut down. But some have chosen not to return home and are looking to save their money and hoping for better luck in the new year.

Thirty-three-year-old Xu Manxiang (pron: she-man-sheeang) has just been laid off from his job at a nearby electronics factory.

[Xu Manxiang, Unemployed]:
“I am feeling the impact now that I have lost my job. Due to the economic crisis, it can be quite costly to go home for the Chinese New Year. After thinking about it, I felt I should be more thrifty and spend less money. The main thing is that we thought we should spend less money and try to ride out this crisis.”
    
Xu is one of around 200 million migrant workers in China, whose number is greater than the population of Brazil. They have provided the cheap labor underpinning the proliferation of China-made goods worldwide. An estimated 10 million migrant workers have lost their jobs in recent months.

The Xu family says that if things get worse they will be ready to pack their bags and go home for good.

[Wu Xiongjin, Xu's Wife]:
“Some of them said that if orders are less next year, the factory might lay off some workers. I think that if they retrench me and give me compensation, I would go home to work at a farm or do something else while I tend to my child. Now if all of a sudden, I leave due to my own will, I wouldn’t feel too good about it. I’ll think about this after the Chinese New Year.”

With the New Year on January 26, thousands of migrant workers are waiting patiently to buy tickets with heavy hearts, many wondering whether they will return.

Metal Gear Solid: Essential Collection (Another Unboxing?)

August 29, 2009 - 5:38 pm 25 Comments

Hello everyone here is my unofficial tribute to “Porn 4 Geeks!”: Another Unboxing of Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection!

I used to play Metal Gear for NES when I was younger and I dabbled a little in MGS for PSOne. When I got a PS2, I purchased MGS2: Sons of Liberty. I ing hated Sons of Liberty! I thought it was the most boring, overrated game ever.

Forward 7 years later, MGS4 for PS3 has got me wanting to give the Metal Gear Solid franchise another chance. So as a result, I went out and bought the Metal Gear Solid: Essential Collection at my neighborhood electronic retail store.

From what I’ve been told, this collection is by far the best game collection out there. Regardless, it should prove to be “essential” for anyone needing a MGS refresher. Also, I couldn’t resist after seeing the total price for all 3 ($30)! Any one of these games alone can be worth between $15-$60 and sometimes more.

Anyway, this compilation will be eating up the next several weekends/weeknights of my life so this may be the last ty video of mine for a while-Hope U Enjoy!

I am travelling back to India and carrying 2 laptops and a digicam alongwith me. One of the laptops and the digicam were bought a year ago in the US and I do have the invoice of these products. Would I be charged with custom duties for the 1-year-old used electronic goods?

are electronic components toxic?

August 29, 2009 - 7:26 am 2 Comments

I am a concerned consumer and I hate to see so much of electronic waste are being discarded all over the places around the world. I knew that devices gets damaged or get out dated but what I am refering to, is the overwhelming waste of electronic goods that does not even have any purpose at all. the likes of goods that are being manufactured in china, contributes too much to waste polutions and more are coming. the best example are the emerging market in the arab world. to my honest estimate, more than 50 % of waste in the united arab emirates alone are produced from china. of course, i am against this. and if they are really toxic, im sure that it will affects the environment and inferior products affects all of these parameters such as; transport, parts, household, toys, consumer goods, artificial intellegence, calculations, and ultimately, all of these misses will be affecting our lives and finances. but strangely, no one seems to have the balls telling those fakers to "stop"! a LAW

Some electronic components are toxic. Lean, arsenic, cadmium and other nasty stuff are in some components. But your question goes beyond this. It addresses not just the toxic substances that may be in electronics, it also addresses the larger problem of waste in the production stream. Companies do everything they can to minimize their cost of making something. In many ways this passes part of the cost a product on to the consumer. The disposal of packaging and other issues are left to society as a whole. I have no idea of how to change this.

where is the cheapest place 2 buy electronic goods in sg?
