Singaporeans are very lucky to have a good and elite government
who geniune cares for the average peasant. Straits Times echo the
same views as me that PAP MPs whose outpouring of sympathy for the
poor is adequate and exceptional.
Simplistic ideas like a social safety net or unemployment benefits
and minimum wages is not going to solve the problem and is also not
good for a country. With such an approach, our MPs will not get a
chance to show that they care and justify their high class
salary.
Look at USA. They are in hugh debts and yet still going to increase
the minimum wages for their people. Their economists say it will
have little negative impact on the economy but look at the facts.
Thats why their politician are paid peanuts compared to our elite
minister. Luckily our government works in a reverse way by
minimising wages instead of minimum wages so as to attract more
talents.
They are not only good at keeping our citizen at toes but also help
our 3th world neighbours with jobs. By working here, they can
definately retire like a king when they go back home. However, the
beauty thinking of our elite government is not easily
appreciated.
