Bad Govt but cannot be voted out

A country that is powerfully backed by a evil military wil be difficult to be booted out. Their civil war of the people are not strong enough. These military needs to be tactically dealt with.

In before Pritam Leong Mun Wai ibs....

The article writes as though it was about Burmese workers in Thailand, but I think it applies to Burmese working anywhere in the world, including Singapore. 

The risen rent costs in Singapore have forced employers to increase the housing allowance paid to workers from Myanmar (as well as all other countries that are poor like Malaysia, the Philippines, and Vietnam).  Housing allowance is a payroll cost in the Profit and Loss Account eh!

According to Multiversal, we may soon have to increase their salaries such that after remitting 25% to their government, their effective salaries are the same as before, in order to retain workers from Myanmar. 

For Singapore businesses, it means yet another increase in running costs, which will only become an increase in prices for consumers.  A lot of Burnes are working in the healthcare, food and beverage, and cleaning sectors.

You can eat out less often if you think food prices are too high, or eat at cheap hawker centres instead of restaurants.  But for healthcare, you don't have that choice to go to a cheap inferior clinic that pays peanuts to its healthcare staff from Myanmar.  The healthcare staff will cost more to hire, and you are going to have to pay more.  Mai everything also brame PAP hor. 

The Burmese workers won't want to stop working here. Cos they don't want to go home (other than just on leave).

And the junta turn on their own citizens?  

This is why my Myanmar friends said, we are damned lucky to have PAP....Covid payouts, the GST Rebates, USave, Cost of Living payouts...in Myanmar, they ZILCH! 

Remain alive is already lucky

Those citizen no money to pay tax can arrange parent to here meet and later go back....heard those stay here the PR status if passport expires the authority on sympathising ground extend it ?...

What about the FWs and FTs from Myanmar? The many thousands of domestic workers and healthcare workers ?
