“This is our advantage. There is no other country I know that has such a range of options open to employers, with unions that are willing to support such measures.”

sorry. if our unions behave like unions in other parts of the world, they wouldn’t be supporting such measures in the first place. so that means…

another idiot we have here.just keep quiet, and make your money, seriously.

The sad reality is that when the brainwashed 66% see such comments, they really really think “Oh how lucky we are to have such good govt”.

How about bailouts in America to the tune of billions and billions of dollars. Do you call this advantage.

why create a ministerial post to look at the issue of the aged? doesn’t this come
under the purview of the Min of Community Development? So far, I haven’t seen
him done anything about anything but he still drawing big bucks from taxpapers.
Another CBL in the syst totally abused by this govt.
Remember last election, he said that if you did not for vote for PAP and come
to him for help, he would not help you. Totally pissed me off.
Should a take leaf from Obama ie whether you voted or not for him, he would
still be their President and not partisan

Is this LBH the same guy who said not many years ago that Singaporeans over 40 needs re-training to stay in their jobs. If so, he is the one who made a lot of Singaporeans lost their jobs then and are still unemployed.

In recent year they do not dare to mention the CPF cut anymore as that caused them a lot of votes in the last round. So now they call for cut your pay to stay in job. 1 year ago I already commented on this topic that during the good time, Lim Boo Heng will tell employee need to be satisfy with the pay and should not ask for too much pay raise, comes bad time he tell employee to cut pay to stay in job.

So good time cannot ask for higher pay but bad time must automatic cut pay. This pattern looks like the petrol price with Bus fare saga leh. 牛头不对马嘴.

Unions are loud hailers broadcasting support from a central source; the Government! Only fools believe the unions have any say in making decisions that affect their members. Don’t forget the head of The Singapore Inc Union is non other than Lee Kuan Yew!

“This is our disadvantage. There is no other country I know of that has such a range of options open to employers at the expense and exploitation of the citizens, with unions that government fully bought over and run by own gov people who objective is to support such measures, and tell the world of blatant lies and deception of how caring they are in running in Singapore. They think they are smart but citizens are no fool either.”

Lim Not Heng (A typical citizen of Singapore that “not Heng” (not lucky) to be part of the millions-dollar roundtable of the gov elite)

I know of no other country that has a government that:
- has $35,800 in just foreign reserves and gold per capita (see http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/eco_res_of_for_exc_and_gol_percap-foreign-exchange-gold-per-capita)
- makes its citizens pay for infrastructure
- licences TV and radio sets
- is the highest paid in the world
- is mostly comprised of MPs who were ‘elected’ in groups
- has so many spare ministers
- treat its citizens as economic digits
- takes better care of businesses and foreigners than it does its citizens
- has so many mayors even though it is smaller than San Francisco
- has a president, PM, SM and MM
- gives sitting minsiters, MPs and mayors pensions and salaries
- has imported 1 million China nationals (and continue to do so)
