Singapore's PAP works on the same principle.

Anyway, you should see the road outside our building in allegedly
middle-class Richmond Town. Oh, and having found the only cheese store in
the city and paying Rs770 for two morsels, I'm yet to be convinced of the
Westernization of Bangalore. It's just a lot of those same villages clumped
together. "Cosmopolitan" here means, "I work with someone from Hyderabad."
