salary increase will follow inflation in most cases... it's sort
of a money cycle thingie. but the transistion period is always
painful, cos inflation comes before salary increase, and maybe
salary increase won't come so soon.
the evidence can be traced to the price of wanton mee. last time
when police wear shorts, wanton mee is like 20 cents, and the
salary average is like few hundred dollars. now the wanton mee is
like 3 dollar, the average salary is about 1k-2k.
the pain will come if wanton mee becomes 30 dollar overnight.
your salary will catch up eventually, but for now, it will feel
damn jia lat.
salary hike will come, and i am sure that the minister's one
will be the first to go up.
Dun worry, if salary is low, price of goods are high, demand will
slow down, and when demand goes down, supply will be less, business
will goes down, then 3 events will happen, either salary goes up to
give u more purchasing power or price of goods goes down to
encourage you to buy. Economy is an ecology, it is a life cyle
by itself. Meantime, stay cool, relax, and do whatever you want,
just dun invests in anything
