U want me to elaborate ? Sure, no problem. Wat is the proportion
of elderly folks in the country ? Lets put is as 10-20% of the
population. How much should be given to ensure they can survive ?
Lets say $300-400. So if we folloo your advise to give money to the
needy elderly, we have to use a lot of money. Money does not drop
from trees, they come from tax. And since there r people who r poor
and not old, such as the handicapped, they have to pay the tax to
support all the old folks. And all the old folks include the very
rich people like the ex-boss of CK Tang etc. So aren't u taxing the
poor to give to the rich ?
I do programming before. U use database before ? U know how to
use the database to filter results ?
U wanna play with law ? Fine. Lets look at the Employment Act
Chapter 91 Section 2 on interpretation
"employee" means a person who has entered into or works under a
contract of service with an employer and includes a workman and any
officer or employee of the Government included in a
category, class or description of such officers or employees
declared by the President to be employees for the purposes
of this Act or any Part or section thereof; but does not include
any seaman, domestic worker, or any person employed in a
managerial, executive or confidential position or any person
belonging to any other class of persons whom the Minister may, from
time to time by notification in the Gazette, declare not
to be employees for the purposes of this Act;
So your plan had committed an offense since it is obvious your
job is not considered as "employee" and therefore cannot be use to
play with the quota. Unless u think the president is gonna declare
people who do nothing as an "employee"
Refer to the above. Your job is not considered to be in the
category of "employee" and giving money to such a person is the
same as giving money to a contractor for doing nothing
Most companies do offer their pay according to the type
of degree u have. It is not just a gov policy
A friend is not consider as the general population. Why don't u
give me statistic tat show first class honour get worse pay than
people with no honour ?
If u notice, I changed my earlier response before u posted
tis
I will paste it here again
Tis is about FT discussion isn't it ? Doesn't FT come to
singapore since many years ago ? If u wanna talk about current
market, don't u think it is too early to conclude since
people r still convocating ?
So u r trying to tell me u can give the look if u r a majority
in your country but u will not give the look if u r here for job
?
So wat is your conclusion ? The french r right to be rude to me
because they r the majority in their country while the chinese is
wrong because she is from the minority in singapore? Am I putting
word in your mouth ? Tis is wat u had implied

The statement you made is not taxing the poor to give to the
rich.
Your statement is "Why should the poor citizen now
get taxed
more to support the rich folks". You have to
quantify why they are taxed more.
I do programming before. U use database before ? U know how to
use the database to filter results ?
Yeah, but I'm sure you have realised how they told us how
comprehensive their testing was. If it wasn;t a large job, it's
either they are bluffing, or you are bluffing. Yet the money spent
on creating and maintaining the means testing could have been
distributed to everyone else. The large bureacracy of the
government agencies, the letters they have to sent out, etc, all
adds overheads.
"employee" means a person who has entered into or works under a

play with the quota. Unless u think the president is gonna declare
people who do nothing as an "employee"
So which part of the law you have quoted states that you cannot
employ someone to do nothing. Doing nothing is also a contract of
service. Why don't you tell me Alex Ferguson was breaking the law
if he tells the world he would make Ronaldo sit on the bench
(contributing and doing nothing) than selling him? In your logic,
he had threatened to break the law!
Refer to the above. Your job is not considered to be in the
category of "employee" and giving money to such a person is the
same as giving money to a contractor for doing nothing
Somehow you still failed to notice that the example you have
raised has a discrepancy in the records and the accounts. Let me
repeat if you continuously missed it. The records said that the
contractor was paid to do something when he didn't, and the money
still went to the contractor. There's a discrepancy.
If u notice, I changed my earlier response before u posted

You mean now then you realised I was talking about the current
market all along?
You showed articles which tell us many were employed before
graduation, and this is now after graduation. Graduation is the day
in which you received your results/transcript/degree, because the
class of honours has already been conferred. It is not during
convocation. Do you know that all the NUS/NTU students have already
received their degree scrolls? And that all had their results ready
for job application at least a month ago?
Most of the previous batch got their jobs before graduating. But now?
It's at least a month after graduation and there are many who could
not find jobs.
So u r trying to tell me u can give the look if u r a majority
in your country but u will not give the look if u r here for job
?
So wat is your conclusion ? The french r right to be rude to me
because they r the majority in their country while the chinese is

No idea why you can continuously misunderstand. I've asked you
that if you are working in a foreign country, do you think you have
the right to be rude? You answered you will not be rude at all
circumstances, yet you have no comments about a foreigner working
in Singapore being rude except continuously denying the
rudeness.
