Sinkie graduates with zero work experience expects starting pay to be $4k

Spore is the world's most expensive city. We are among the top with Switzerland, Australia,..

Is expecting $4,000 too much? In Switzerland a driver makes a median salary of $67,665 per year http://www.payscale.com/research/CH/Country=Switzerland/Salary. That works out to $5,638/month.

Undergraduates can make much more it depends on what field & years of experience.

Well said.

If you look at developed countries in Europe as well as America, you'd realize how little Singaporeans are paid even though cost of living is easily amongst the highest in the world.

The issue here is not what the people are expecting and should rightly be paid as a high cost country, the big problem here are employers who are addicted to cheap 3rd world PMETs, they are not willing to pay that kind of salaries and to add insult to injury, they are getting the blessings of the PAP.

Spot on. Sinkee bosses many of them are penny wise pound foolish.

Want to sack sinkee and hire cheap FT ... in the end get sabo by cheap FT.

Programmers from India are case in point. Who do you think programmed our MRT and LRT communication system.

After a few decades, we still don't have any world class companies, simply because our entrepreneurs don't know how to run a business with skilled labour. They have been addicted to cheap and unreliable labour.
We have thief cum NTUC chief keep harping on productivity and learning ...same story every year ...the problem is not with sinkees, it is with the towkays lah.

The PAP said tripartitism would lead to prosperity and economic growth. Well, compare our tripartitism and that of Germany. In the latter, workers are enjoying good wages that allow them to live comfortable middle-income lifestyle. In Sinkapore, we are saddled with high housing loans, job insecurity and stagnant wages. So much for the PAP-style tripartitism.
