The rich get richer, the poor stay poor... when times
SEEM bad, you cut and squeeze. When times SEEM good, you reward
yourselves. To ordinary folks like you and me, it makes no sense at
all.
I liken Singapore to a tree. If a tree is weak, you water it, you
give it fertilizer, you tend it. You basically strengthen the
roots. Then in turn, the leaves, flowers and fruits are beautiful,
bountiful and strong. The tree stands tall and strong.
However, if you turn it around... when a tree is weak, you tend the
flowers, the leaves, you pay attention to the top, neglecting the
foundation. In the end, the tree will fall, regardless of how
wonderfully kept the top was.
Even if you want to run Singapore like Singapore Inc, please treat
the employees well. If not, your erstwhile loyal employees are
going to jump ship. Trust me on that.
very well said indeed. i agree with it totally. just today news we
still see family in singapore who could not afford to pay their
electrical bills.
i dont think these civil servants deserve that kind of pay. or
maybe just of govt ploy to put in more money into their own
pocket.
in fact most of my friends if apportunity arises will jump ship. im
one of them, because i dont like our political leaders treating us
like idiots, and our society focusing on the elitism. where the
protection for the poor?
