SG Talk

He was talking about the Progressive Wage Model for those Bottom 5 Lousy Unwanted Jobs -

Then he expects the cleaners to do their job because of pride?

Problems go unsolved as politicians pepper their talk with strange euphemisms.

It is frustrating as problems mount.

We have the MOST FTs in the world in comparison with our workforce size.

But FTs do not create enough good jobs so, it is about time to remove 20% of them.

The lower the wage = the lower the cost = the higher the profit = the easier it is to justify upper management survival promotion and bonus in some cases?

arr low wagers you see your wages rise
how? when the velocity of money rises
meanings lota of money stuck in the pipes
ready to give you a shock.
You become 'running on the spot monkeys'

Cut upper management pay. They are paid too much for doing too little. A lot of them are paid more than the value they can generate for the company. Why must pay these kind of people so much?

Maybe they should simply lower their salary to $10k to understand the low wage workers.

And tell us if they can do the job not based on salary.

We never knew that he word "wage" comprises more than $ and cents! Oops, should be sense!

Agreed.  There must be a limit to the difference in pay between the highest paid and lowest paid worker.  A cleaner is a worker so is the CEO

If the CEO can fall into corruption lifestyle, how many layman has the potential to be the same. Fortunately majority still have conscience not to be morally corrupted. So pls dun exploit ppl to gain more for yourself.

Yet politicians are to be paid close to doctors, lawyers etc? Come on... Who is still a kindergarten kid? The PAP machinery is damn twisted...

they sit at cool big office looking at stats. good luck u people. how are actual human issues solved sitting at office?

It is ivory tower talk. How much does he pay his maid at home? Does he tip his driver every day?

Reason why the Upper Management must get salary increase promotion and bonus is because he or she interviewed you and gave you the job in the first place?

If not directly then the one who gave you the job was hired by Upper Management and therefore the latter must get the recognition?

It is also to stop headhunters and prevent corruption?

It's all about satisfying basic needs first, Maslow's hierarchy. Only when people get paid enough then they can talk about passion, or self-actualization.

Lawrence Wong OUT! Every single cent counts for low -wage workers.

Will he say being a cleaner is good hobby?

Being dishwasher makes your posture like ballet dancer?

Or tell them about Job Satisfaction?

Mad Minister.

不在其位 不谋其政lah. They only know how to TCSS. If flood gate never wide open, who will want to do low paying job. Only fool right?

then please take a (at least) 50% pay cut

all this hypocirisy especially before ERRECTIONS

Low wage jobs cannot be defined by $$

Then, many useless slow bo-charp Ministers MUST be defined with $$

LW cannot reject reducing their salary by 50% since they are mostly part-timers.

Those they cannot solve or dont want to solve, then the best reply is “cannot be defined solely by $$”.

Low wage jobs cannot be solely defined by money sounds very noble but these words coming out from the mouth of the highest paid PM in the workd is really a joke and an insult to the intelligence of the citizens.
