Govt promoting singaporeans to accept a job which requires more
than one person to do and get low
pay. This is called
exploitation. The low pay may
not be sufficient for one to cope with housing loan, children's
expenses, daily expenses.
I have a friend just went for a job interview with NEA and was
told the job pays $1,100 and after CPF take home pay is only
$880. His last pay was
$3,000. Mind you, it is not a simple job
but they pay only peanuts.
Though he is a bachelor he needs to pay housing loan, bills,
insurance, daily expenses. With this take home
pay of $880 he is not able to cope. The CPF
from this salary is not sufficient for him to pay housing
loan.
It is not fair for govt to
always put blame on singaporeans for not able to accept lower pay
when the low pay can't help sustain basic living for
them.
