[h=2]Tan Chuan Jin implores Singaporeans to work ‘smarter’[/h]Posted by temasektimes on August 9, 2012


Though Singaporeans work the most number of hours a week to earn a living, they are still not working ‘smart’ enough, said Acting Minister for Manpower Tan Chuan Jin.

Speaking at the Ministry of Manpower’s National Day observance ceremony on Wednesday, Mr Tan called on Singaporeans to work ‘smart’:
“We all know that we work many hours in Singapore, and that’s something that we ought to look at — whether we can be more efficient in the way we work, to work smart,” the acting minister said.

Mr Tan also urged Singaporeans to eradicate poor working habits without elaborating more on what they are:

“Personally, I think there are a lot of poor work habits, so we end up actually working longer than we need to. But, those are things that we can eradicate. Volume of work is one part.”

He added that Singapore must continue to attract foreign companies and ‘skilled labor’.

Wah piang eh... National Day also working huh doggie? PAP IB working overtime?

How much do you get paid as a cyber dog? Finishing your shift same at 7am?

I agree with him. You guys are pretty fucked up when it comes to work ethic. Too much "wayang" eg staying late but not actually doing anything productive.

I remember getting stuck in a meeting many years ago and when I finally stepped out at about 6.30 pm, all my sinkie staff were still "hard at work" at their desks.

I said goodbye to all and drove out of the factory and parked out of sight just beyond the exit. 3 minutes later, they all started leaving. I waved at each of them as they drove or walked past. It was great fun seeing the look on their faces.

I agree with you on this. There is no shame in leaving before the boss, especially if you're done for the day.

They learned from PAP - action without substance.

 

[jiangrenhua]

we also need to change the mindsets of some dumbassed employers too.

they too think that working longer means more productivity!!

If he himself worked smarter, he wouldn't have had to lament that he didn't have enough time to watch his children grow up.

 

[Boliao]

I would implore Singaporeans to be smarter and kick the fucking party out!

 

[Scrooball (clone)]

For someone who has not put in a honest day of hard work, he sure is shameless to talk about 'work'.

He doesnt want to work. If he works, he can't see his children grow up

 

[bullfrog]

How does a kopi auntie work smarter? How does a cleaner work smarter? How does a bus captain work smarter?

So, isnt he talking cock? Again, living in ivory towers.

 

[Fishypie]

For aLL i know, now staffs in aLL our Statutory Boards/CiviL services are working v smart..they prompt you with muLtipLe options from 1-9, then Leave you with voice maiLs that they never seem to repLy..:(

It's like saying if I fuck longer more sperm will come out.

 

[Confuseous]

The fcuking gall of someone who has never been in the private sector, it tells a lot about how naive he really is.
In the military, I guess one can work smart, simply by saying YES SIR or HOW HIGH, SIR when to told to jump.
