5 more erps popping out at chinatown.
the thing is that the gahmen always never think long term enough
before they do anything.
labour shortage, they import more foreign workers. now we have
too much foreign workers that we locals are suffering from negative
competition, whereby our pay keep dropping and dropping, thanks to
these FTs who request lower pay.
road congestion, they set up more erp. erp everywhere, and it
really affects business alot. it then screw up local enterprises
who are already struggling to survive, e.g. the shops in the toa
payoh heartlands.
in the end, what they get from erp fee does not match up to the
amount they lost from income tax. it is more beneficial to the
country if everyone is having a good life, earning a decent
salary.
so far, all i see is pay cuts across most sectors, from cleaners
to uni-educated engineers. pay is force down by influx of cheap
foreign workers.
now with a depression going on, even the once prosperous banking
and finance sectors are "infected" by pay cut......
Oh yes. The only group of people who does not
need to worry about bread and butter issue is PAP. They have
more than sufficient money to live by. They take so
much from society, thus they ought to give back to
society. Like what Lee hsien loong said
"The more they have gained from
society, the greater their obligation to give back something to
their fellow citizens.
So PAP should set good examples to give to the poor and needy
and PM should not point finger pushing it to the common people
to expect them to help.
