The reason for the cabinet to have such high pay bracket was to
prevent any chances for the MPs to accept bribery. Thats why our
cabinet staffs are very well paid so that they wont fall into the
possibility like their counterpart in this Asia region. But
nonetheless they are ok with the citizen here to accept lower pay
and not themselves as MPs. Oh by the way their pay will be back to
where they have drop before, this coming Sept I think.
The observation made by Blueray is real, it basically tells that
the current society and cost of living does not allow any people to
be poor and/or entirely retired even when youre old. Though these
folks who works at the hawker center as cleaner has low education,
all I can say is that they live in a time without a choice. But
they should be given a chance to live their lives without the
stress of worrying will their money be enough for their bills or
even a simple meal. They have contribute to our nation during their
younger days however much they may have contribute, it is only
right to help these folks to have their bills and meals taken care
of. After all I believe the reserve that we have would or may have
enough funds in taking care of these poorer folks, anyway strictly
speaking the amount of funds in the reserve has their contribution
too.
Everything here cost money, ranging from basic necessity to medical
& education. The amount has rise and nothing has fall. So why
are we complaining and relying on our government? Basically to seek
for a chance of relieves or at least give us a chance to take a
breather. At the rate that they are trying to drain us,
eventually this country is only good for the rich and the poor,
but not for the in between, because the in-between are the one
feeding both end.
It may be true that we should not complain our government for our
poor financial planning, but then again if only our government
could ease us on the basic necessity then we certainly would be
better off for awhile. Not when economies are in the recovery state
then everything starts to goes up. What about when economies are
down would the price of the necessity follow suit? Our Power
station get our supply from Indonesia when both countries
government signed a few years of contract without the change of
price but yet when oil prices rise our electrical bills follow suit
too. How fair is this?
It may be true that the foreigners have lower expectation but you
must understand that they come from a place where their cost is so
much lower than ours. After staying here for a period of times they
would end up like us too, finding it difficult to survive even with
the pay they are drawing. The fundamental cost on the necessity is
still presence however low their expectation may be, why then would
these Chinese ladies who bring the children here for further study
requires to earn extra cash. This is because the cost of living
here is something that they have never expected to be, then again
you may say to differ. Let ask ourselves would a normal lady be
willing to sleep around to earn an extra buck if they have a
choice? This is also a classic case of poor financial planning (as
describe in previous comment) and they shouldnt blame on the
government, but themselves and also creating a nuisance to the
society too.
The way I notice is that the trend of our employer is different as
before. Previously they would ask for loyalty staff. Nowadays it
cost before loyalty, the only value added that you could differ
yourself from others is when you are able to bring extra business
or money or saving some cost to the company. Then you are
considered value added, otherwise youre no difference from the
rest of the workforce be it local or foreigners. Think about it.
Just to give you an example imagines in an administrative role,
would a newbies be of any different from an old bird? Other than
the experience, the boss would believe that everything could be
trained or taught to the newbies, all they waste is only time but
in long run they save on the cost
think about it. The trend of
outsourcing is happening too, be it sooner or later such role could
be outsourced too. Now look at your own role in the company, can or
will your job be outsource too?
