Earlier I wrote that the PAP approach to the economy is wrong and harms Singaporeans.

The path they put Singapore on is not just of diminishing returns but negative returns.

If the country is progressing well why are elderly forced to work longer to afford retirement...don't you think that shows things are getting worse each year...

Angmo countries just lazy.

45 hours a week is alot meh? Only 9 hours a day, and I think that includes lunch time lol. Many sinkies also spend a lot of time talking instead of doing real work.

[K88 shu shu]

sinkies are hard working - to pay for high COL.

[red3]

This is because working hours is weaponised to override KPI for locals

Knnah, nowadays 45 hrs per week kpkb overwork liao. My time working 60 hrs per week was common and workers very happy got work to do and OT to earn. The PGs were afraid short working hours or no work more than working long hours.    

[singaporean1964]

The root cause is the voters and not PAP.

If PAP is no good, why 60% voters still vote for PAP ?

you cannot change PAP, you have to change the voters.

WHY ?

Our Ministers (including former disgraced politicians) are either clueless or dishonest when claiming that seniors who collect used cardboard are not doing so to make ends meet, but for the exercise.

Tens of thousands of S'poreans have been displaced from their livelihood by our open door policy to admit plane loads of foreigners into our country

You do know what happens when you ASSUME, don't you? You make an ASS of yourself. I am protesting on various forums to the treason committed by our politicians. Your placard display is an act of futility that has an extremely limited reach.

No point making so much noise while hiding behind the keyboard like a mouse. Many people including ah butt could do that better

I thought Chinese companies like Alibaba work 996, 9am to 9pm six days a week, much longer than is.

Heard Japanese also work very long hours, many people work until midnight or 1am then go back sleep for 6 hours and return to office again early next morning

I doubt these numbers are accurate. While there are clearcut working hours for blue collar workers and those running shifts, the waters are murky when it comes to the typical PME.

In theory most PME employment contracts stipulate standard office hours of around 9am - 6pm and five day workweek, problem is much more happens in real life. Many answer calls, emails and meetings after leaving office and during weekends as well. There doesn't seem to be an accurate way to capture these snippet times and collate them into useful data currently.

For e.g., if a PME answers 2 emails spanning 10 minutes each after office hours, that would already add 20 minutes on top. How about constant short Whatsapp / Teams messages with bosses and colleagues? Each reply is maybe only 1 minute at most, but pile together it's a lot. Not to mention those working in foreign companies often have late night and early morning teleconferences.

I think Singapore is not productive. Long hours but output lower than countries with shorter hours. The long hours clocked could well be to claim the paycheck and not so much as to achieve higher targets... Lol

Local SME bosses don't understand that longer time does not equate to producing more. But somehow they just want employees to work more hours so that is worth their salary paid.

From the data given, their working hours on average has plunged
below 1900hrs yearly.

Perhaps pull down by high portion of short working hour jobs.
