From this point onwards, there is zero financial incentive to hire Singaporean from a corporate balance sheet perspective. This glass ceiling threshold point, whereby any citizenship benifit of being Singaporean vanishes for the Singaporean employee.

PAP's Singapore economic blueprint in a nutshell.

PAP's Singapore economic blueprint in a nutshell.
Basically copy wholesale from the British colonial period economic model, now slightly modified into modern theme park run by mafia/ junta/ despots/ tyrants model.

They say free trade, but everything and anything else they will charge exorbitant fees and penalties.

The latest economic opportunities available to young and old Singaporeans today.


Older Singaporeans (who are well informed) can earn 20¢ NTUC vouchers, for every 4 cans or bottles salvaged, so there is a long queue at Tampines Hub NTUC due to the volume of recyclables that the elderly have brought in at 10 locations across Singapore (50 by March

pattanispirit(HWZ) said:to solve maid problem :
1. increase birth 
- to increase supply of junior labour like part time babysitters in western countries
- to increase labour market, so mothers can stay home as housewives /caregivers for aged

2. increase childcare centres & old folk homes
how to solve labour shortage in other sectors if more housewives stay at home ?
- import more foreigners ? 
- reduce economy activities ?

I think what u have just submitted is quite self contradictory. Please edit it so it can make sense.

Suffice to say, there are trade offs in any rebalancing, the true requirement being that the final outcome is better than the original to society overall.

Case for a uniform foreign worker levy (including for maids) in Singapore.

pattanispirit (HWZ) said:if min wage is implemented, does that apply to maids as well ?

based on current working hr of maid, it's 6 days x 12 hrs min.

that's 72 hrs work week, which means 72-44 hr =28 hr OT, which at least 12 hrs double pay and the rest 1.5x.

if assuming yr min wage is $7 a hour, their basic should be $1,334 + 16x1.5x7 + 12x2x7 = 1334 + 168 + 168 = $1,670

can govt still implement maid levies ? 

will housewives still can work part time or full time ? 

will children give up their career to take care of their sick or old parent ?

if work outside earning 3k, after cpf and other expenses, what take home is just nice to pay maid. 

so, uni grad, dip holder, pmet rather work at home to take care of babies & old ppl than to work for paying maids.

Before I answer your calculations, do note that there are National security implications wrt over reliance on foreign manpower for domestic chores or manual labor because one can expect these labour sources to very quickly dry up the moment civil unrest breaks out in region or in Singapore.

MOM is the cause of structural unemployment in Singapore. (& the real reason why Minimum Wage is not legislated till now in Singapore.)

MOM is the cause of structural unemployment in Singapore. (& the real reason why Minimum Wage is not legislated till now in Singapore.)

Is simply because almost 38% of Singapore workforce is foreign and even work permit holders make up 27.4% of Singapore workforce, the majority of which may not even be Singaporean if PRs were instead counted as foreigners to begin with.

Minister Lim Swee Say: I have a formula for GDP growth for the next 10 years In his speech at an employment fair, newly-minted Manpower Minister Lim Swee Say proclaimed that he has a formula for GDP growth for Singapore in the next 10 years....'In the last 10 years, we have been growing our economy based on a simple formula of ‘3+1=4’ : 3 per cent growth in our workforce plus 1 per cent improvement in our productivity to give us 4 per cent growth in our economy.' http://statestimesreview.com/2015/07...next-10-years/

In the last 10 years, most of the 3% workforce growth has come from letting in foreigners en masse for employment in Singapore.
As at 2010, the composition of labor workforce (including foreign domestic workers) was as follows:

Given to foreign labourers and PMETs receiving ample employment opportunities to work in Singapore, PAP achieved overwhelming success at increasing GDP (with Singaporean citizens providing only 54.7% of workforce), it is time to take a leaf from the PAP's indiscriminate dependence upon foreign workforce philosophy and apply the same to increasing opposition presence contributing to the diversity of options considered in parliamentary debate.

Indeed, Singapore will do much better with a 1/3 opposition presence in parliament.

Medishield-life premiums: PRs should pay AT LEAST 30% more. Why shouldn't they???!!!

Since gahmen defines medishield life as so integral and like God send (costs gahmen a lot in budget), then since PRs are at best only half citizens (or less since they can be PRs of elsewhere as well): then why shouldn't they pay an extra of 30% in annual medishield-life premiums???!!! In fact, at polyclinics, PRs have to pay almost TWICE the consultation fees as Singaporeans. Those previously NOT on medishield but now joining medishield life will also have to pay a 30% surcharge so why shouldn't PRs previously on medishield insurance scheme ALSO be charged just an extra 30%???!!!

Singapore should STOP being 'accomplice' to wife/ child abuse by EP holders...

Singapore should STOP being 'accomplice' to wife/ child abuse by EP holders... ... by being much stricter in enforcing "court-ordered maintenance" payments and a cancellation of EP for default of >1-month etc.

According to the forum letter, SG gahmen does not seem to take any action even if their estranged wives (and kids who are held hostage in Singapore by virtue of the 'Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction') must be confined within Singapore borders: yet go hungry/ unfed....

Edz Ello is 50% right: LKY has given up, Sinkies will be extinct (by sloth (lack of exercise)/ greed).

Yes, Edz is WRONG to curse Singapore with natural disasters. But about the losers (?poor health?) part, I cannot help but agree somewhat that in so far that the godfather of Singapore says:
"One Man's View of the World" he (Lee Kuan Yew) has said "I cannot solve the problem, and I have given up. I have given the job to another generation of leaders. Hopefully, they or their successors will eventually find a way out." Singapore Dissident: Singapore strongman Lee Kuan Yew admits defeat on falling birth rate

KBW circulates posed peektures showing how ill-bred South Asians are.

And they call that 'engagement': me thinks that the PA-PAP advisers to grassroots origanisations method of brainwashing foreign workers is high-handed and derogatory and will only serve to increase animosity by foreign workers against Singaporeans and rich foreigners (employment pass holders/ PR like Yang Yin pay ZERO levy BTW).
Either that or the PAP is trying to advertise to investors their skills at subdueing protest (in anticipation for more as Sinkieland matures as slave capital of the world) (most of the spectators do not look South Asian to me).
