  He's a prime target for the IRAS, if he underdeclares, he'll end up like the curry pok guy.

  I think that curry pok guy is a good role model. It pays to be humble.

  Anyway, they have been selling it at $1.10 for quite some time, even before the IRAS got him, reason was the netherland potatoes they were using.

  It was reported in the news that he reported his income fully and he paid taxes of close to $90,000 (if I remember it correctly) for the year.

  Hi,

    Other than tuition, he classifies questions for TYS and writes solutions to past-year papers. He is diligent to deserve the sum he is earning. Thanks.
