When the Ministry of Manpower acquires a culture of always looking away when workers complain against their employers, what makes us think they will not look away in other cases where Singaporean workers are involved too?

Our elites are very good at looking but unfortunately not very good solving problems.
One thing I’m very sure they love looking at though is definitely their CPF statements every month.
Thanks Alex for voicing up, again.
As I observed for the last 2 years,
Blogs have given people avenues to voice up.
However, Questions posed are so many unanswered by the ones the questions are intended for.
Its clear they need not reply us. There is nothing we can do.
Except, by way of Physically be present in public places like HLP to make our voice heard. Either that or we could wait for our nice PAP MPs to voice up for us.
Which is better?

saw the news :
“MOM recovers about $800,000 in claims for workers
Posted: 08 June 2009 1754 hrs”
not sure how is this $ amount compared to that which elites invest losses???
aiyoyo
Yup i agree with Comment #1.
yet another sign of our elitism and GRCs and having scholars run ministries and govt posts.
cover backside first – tai chi the problem – blame others.
and there are MPs saying we’re “mollycoddled”…
if they dont want to work for public service, then dont. dont make them reluctant executives, just by giving them high pay… its all gone wrong, i tell you.
they look away when they lose the public’s money.
they look away when they allow toxic financial products into the market.

I have always wondered, do their supporters question them or side them regardless?
singaporeans, singaporeans, singaporeans……

keep up the good work with the doing nothing culture, MOM, we need to pass the msg to lower the FT population in spore
can the service sector staff do the same? :P
Yes, I also agree with Comment #1, i.e. the elites cum pseudo politicians are good only at looking at their own CPF statements at end of every month.
And to add to that, they are also good at scheming how to maximize their own income and investments with minimum effort.
And also, how to invest in foreign real estates and business ventures;
And sending their children to top foreign universities at the expense of taxpayers’ money (through multiple scholarships, though only one scholarship is more than enough to propel them to cosy life the rest of their life.
And also, possibly, doing things through pulling strings and pulling connections, for walking through the back doors the easy way out.
Heard that some are pay but so free that they often drink tea at the nearby place.
