let’s be patien and wait for the youth olyampic over and see how they fair the result.

dont give up easily! keep doing with strong faith believing this is your destiny as well as mine for i have to fight for what i believe in near future for our beloved country. if everyone is apathetic or bo chap, we will be suffering for long and giving the pap perpetual ruling for too long as well.

you make the choice.

yours truely,
the singaporeans who Does Not consider himself your usual typical singaporean – i feel like I am in a wrong country.

Is it because they have so much savings, they do not care about such issues like employment statistics, hiring of elder workers, salary and competition?

But then again, I am not surprised at all because we are talking about singaporean workers.

I was unable to turn up as I was working overseas.

More good years, singaporeans. keep it up.

Using the California model, employees contribute to their own unemployment insurance fund to the limit of six months’ salary. Costs the state nothing, except admin.

A nearly instantly implementable scheme can just allocate six months of current salary from employees’ CPF to be designated unemployment fund, which can be drawn on upon unemployment.

For this to work, there must be enough employed policy holders so that the total premium collected exceeds the total claims to be made. This is how insurance works.

seems man on the street left behind (on benefits)?

but come tax payment,

man on the street will be “NO ONE WILL BE LEFT BEHIND”?

aiyoyo

Govt linked companies are paying millions to their chairmen and ceos while thousands of people, including graduates, are unemployed. Why should a chairman be paid a salary of $8-10 million pa? For what contribution? Likewise, why should a ceo be paid a $20 million bonus, thousands of times more than say the average for an employee?

By reducing such pay-outs these companies can use the savings to give jobs to the unemployed. For $10 million a company can afford to employ, at an average all-in salary of $2,000 per month, 20 people for about 20 years.

The govt is not sharing with the people. The govt is feeding its own selected group.

Sounds workable, but it’s too late now. It’s like getting insurance only when you start to need it. No company will one to take up the case. This Insurance should start before the economic downturn.

Might be a business opportunity if it is sustainable and the government or private insurance companies do see it….

If LBW has full support from PAP to down the bridge after crossing the river, we can expect similar attitude employed for treating Singaporeans. Whether Liu GuoDong is foreigner or local, LBW ungracious and arrogant attitude is extremely appalling. It is hard to trust & believe in our leader’s words now, I am not proud of the olympic silver medal won, it doesn’t belong to us anymore but to the coach. Singapore has lost its spirit and the game through LBW despicable attitude.

But if you accused a China man like Table Tennis Coach Liu, you are Dead!

I am toying with the idea of starting a 5-day lcontinuous unch time talk on the same issue. I will also invite speakers to share on specific topics.

As it is focused and spread over 5 days i am sure that momentum will gather and more people will turn up for the series of talk. Hopefully the press will take notice.

Over to you guys…

hey, a really loud speaker (pun intended) can attract more passerby…

I am shocked.

I am in Indochina and I work and so I just cannot turn up.

Will be in sing in October.

Bet your life I will give you all all my support.

So few turned up and so the gahmen do not take you seriously and think you are all a pack of fools. No guts.

Must show gahmen we will fight till the end – forever and ever and ever.

I hope that more Singaporeans will attend similar events in the future. We have to take an interest on matters that affect us personally and also on other people. We have to show our solidarity to the people who are affected by the economic crisis and are now unemployed.
