I fully agree with the scholorship thing, to the foreigners, WE are reknown for “financing outsiders with our own peoples’ $$” n the best part, they aren’t shy abt it, yet they can still laugh it off in your face…

The biggest towkay in Singapore is PAP government. You want them to introduce minimum wage? Fat hope!

This is a big issue yes. But Singapore is but another country in SE-Asia and the way most countries are here, we could consider ourselves to be doing well. Guess the Government should stop using benchmarks that we’ve already surpassed economically (Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand etc…) as an example of how much worse things could be. Hong Kong and South Korea are good comparisons. If they’re doing well, the PAP really has no excuse.

Seems to be a mighty convenient excuse. But then most of our leaders aren’t really used to being challenged, let alone having to live up to their seats in Parliament.

Understanding how our gahmen operates on meritocracy, I think the bottom-line is that they want us to work hard to get pay increment.

If there is a minimum wage, they might be fearful that it would cause the average Singaporean to slack.
