The Govt is rolling out more so-called "goodies" for voters before the next GE. I hope that S'poreans are not so gullible to fall for such tricks again.

From January next year, foreigners must earn S$5,600 ($4,170) or more a month - up from the current S$5,000 - to qualify for the so-called employment passes typically granted to high-paid professionals.

Those in the financial sector will have the qualifying salary hiked to S$6,200 from S$5,500.
