Mothershiat: 5 PAP MPs challenge WP MP Jamus Lim after he brings up minimum wage in Parliament

[Rainowar]

I am against minimum wage. You earn what you work for. Period.

Goondu u know whats minimum wage

Its easy to implement
For roles such as cleaners and retail for example
Jamus could consider people on the service side would earn no less than $17
Per hour then no less than X hours per week as cap

For white collar staff this wont spply

Pap as usual la. Instead of discussing policies, whenever oppo came up with alternatives, they 1st to shoot down and copy over and rename it

WP call for nationalisation of transportation. Pap say cannot. In the end cut, copy and paste and rename it bus contracting model... Isn't it the same when taxpayers money are being used to buy back the train and buses

Don't shoot down for the sake of shooting due to different in ideologies or party. This only irks and turn more middle voters away from pap. Pap ibs still don't understand and oppo ibs are not angel too

So many countries have minimum wage.

I really don't see how much worse can it get for Singapore. Even without min wage we also one of the highest cost of living already.

Many people don't understand why it will have minimal impact. PAP is trying to paint a picture or narrative that min wage is usually set above current market rates, making people to lose their jobs. This is what Gan Sio Huang is talking about.

She doesn't understand that Min wage can be set at the fairest market rate for the industry so that employers cannot underpay the market rate.

For example most F&B are paying $1500 to employ a dishwasher. That can be set as the min wage. So other employers cannot underpay dishwashers.

If these F&Bs feel that they can't afford to hire many dishwashers because of min wage, then they have to innovate to improve the productivity of just hiring one or less.

min wage also can induce productivity in the workplaces as a side effect.

PAPs confirm never come across this.

I support WP but not their stance on minimum wage. Sinkies cannot have, just look at how it works in NS and SAF.

Singapore don't have minmum wage but have a subsidy known as workfare and there are loopholes which ppl use to get workfare even though they don't qualify.

So everyone, including you and me, are paying for the subsidies and the employers get to suppress the wages.

 

[theMKR]

no minimum wage, so u can hire sinkies for 50/mth. then use the quota to hire FW la...

win-win-win

 

[hako92]

Yesh. No minimum wage. So everyone ish employed. Pay them 1dollar/hr. Make our unemployment rate as low as possible. Make us look beri satki at international stage.

But at the end of the day. They cant make ends meet. Garmen still need to aid them with financial sarpork.

TPL only open mouth when it is easy to rebut. Macham like school debate

What can you expect from a highly paid social worker?

 

[lala24]

I am against minimum wage. You earn what you work for. Period.

Pay you $600 month see how you going to survive in spore.

So you are saying the cleaners who work their arses off for the whole day 6 days a week are not deserving of a higher wage that can help them survive in this sh!tty money obsessed economy?

Usually those who opposed to minimum wage got agenda of their own one. Modern slave drivers who want to exploit the lowest rank of workers to their deaths.

this.. business owners are still hooked on cheap labor and low productivity so its hard.

its quite wasted actually for local talents. highly educated but many still are unproductive not by choice
