We do not have minimum wages rule our salary cannot catch up with the inflation pace

Jamus did not seem to know about Progressive Wage (PWM) and Workfare (WIS).  Maybe he was working overseas for too long.

He raised Minimum Wage (MW) in Parliament and after he was told about Progressive Wage, I am sure he went back to read it up, because after that, he became very quiet.

Do read up about PWM in the MOM website.  You will love it and appreciate what the government is doing for low income earners.  Be fair.  Give credit when it is due.  PWM along with WIS help workers a lot in a different way.

Minimum wage places the labour cost burden on companies.  It also benefits foreigners and Jamus was fighting for MW.  Die die the company must pay S$ X,000 by law to all workers including foreigners.

PWM and WIS places the burden on the rich whose taxes paid are used by the government to support the lower income SINGAPOREANS. You can say it's Robin Hooding, but it saves companies, it saves jobs.  And only Singaporeans qualify for PWM and WIS.
