[zhutzhutzhut]

dis topic is too deep can keep arguing about it for years and years.... best is everybuttie becum ccp rah... no need to argue so much rah

 

[The_Davis]

because is opposition proposing it

Workers party proposing minimum wage for all workers right?

 

[UptheToon]

Because it will throw a spanner into their foreigners first policy.

 

[terrixtur]

They want to eliminate the inferior genes from the gene pool. The last thing they want is more coolie descendants to reproduce.

 

[cleffa3000]

[tJ3333]

The wages for the progressive wage model is already very close to the minimum wage scheme.

No idea what’s the fuss.

As per subject

Makes it harder for businesses to run. Inflexible.

Using a one size fits all when different sectors pay differently brings problems so and so for.

It is not the government that is paying minimum wage. It is the business owner and a lot of business owners are Singaporeans who want to open small businesses.

Imagine if you want to open a stall and the government orders you to pay 13 dollars an hour ie. 3000 dollars a month for a helper.

cai png workers wage got higher than min wage?

[pureice]

this is not a right or wrong policy...just what trade-offs we want and whether is the program sustainable?

technically....myanmar and vietnam also have minimum wage....china also have minimum wage...

but is their standard of living better....or their purchasing power better?....maybe we should shift the focus to productivity and increasing the median wage thru real productivity gain and skill sets learn.

imho...let the help be more specialised and targetted at really disadvantaged grps....

tts why i hope if the oppo really wana be a credible team...focus on the relevancy of retraining, as well as the timing/quality of these reskilling. Either focusing on reducing career transition time or tweaking more degrees/diplomas on part time schedules, on manageable cost for increase productivity....

mai keep harp on this populist minimum wage...if really putting a number on a minimum wage level can solve problems....now many countries are paradise riao~~ dont force our version of "good" on other people rahh....

Not necessarily, foreigners can be highly paid too. The PAP making it easier for highly paid foreigners to steal our jobs is what we need to be wary of.

The way the PAP makes it sound is as if we have no talent!

 

[yokine3a]

But honestly in Singapore context, I feel it is good to have a min wage for Singaporeans. Some companies in Singapore damn jialat one.

How jialat? Like my company before covid19, annual increment only 1-2%, can't even beat inflation!?

The minimum wage will forced employers to hire locals. Becos it is no longer cheap to bring in foreigners.

In such situation covid 19 pandemic, we now can see a "big hole" whereby locals suffered with no job no money.
