this kind of thing already solved in western countries at least 20 years ago.

singapore will never solve this problem because there is no labour law for companies to comply.

even china has better labour laws than singapore because retrenchment benefits are part of labour laws in china

The Govt's prioritisation of business interests is clear. Their pro-business stance has led to a neglect of employee welfare. Even trade unions, which are largely controlled by the govt, have limited power to advocate for workers' rights. The govt's emphasis on economic growth at any cost has further marginalised employee concerns. Additionally, the govt has suggested that anti-discrimination laws would impose significant costs on businesses in S'pore. This suggests a reluctance to prioritise employee protection, even in the face of discrimination.

PAP will have no choice but to make retrenchment benefits into the labour laws.
if not, PAP will never make retrenchment benefits into the labour laws

Got country than got home ,also got factory than got workers lah....
1) Singapore labour law was already established since under British control.

2) Executive staff are not covered under labour law. Those Engineers and above are considered executive staff.

3) if the company pay retrenchment benefits to those Executive staff, it is only as a gesture of goodwill.

4) In the past, when the company wanted a staff to leave, they just informed you that you are terminated. No retrenchment benefits were given. You can go lodge a complaint to mom, but they would tell you nothing could be done since you are an executive staff there.

just do what is right.

you cannot be pro-business at the expense of workers or pro-worker at the expense of business.

just state in the work contract whether the company will pay retrenchment benefits and inform workers of retrenchment by 1 month notice.
let workers decide if they want to sign this kind of work contract.

just be transparent and honest.
business cannot anyhow retrench workers at anytime or last minute.

voters can vote against PAP to change all these issues.
