With Singapore ranked among the bottom 10 countries globally on tacking inequality, Oxfam International has urged the city-state’s policymakers to increase social spending, strengthen labour rights and enact anti-discrimination laws, reported the Business Times. Out of the 157 countries studied by Oxfam, Singapore was listed at 149.

Oxfam noted that Singapore fares poorly as its combined spending on health, education and social protection is “well-below” countries like Thailand and South Korea, which spend 50 percent of their budget in the said areas. The city-state is also one of the few remaining countries with no universal minimum wage, it added.

A look at the rate of progressive taxation, Oxfam said the republic “under-taxes” corporations and wealthy individuals. It also has no equal pay or non-discrimination laws for women.

“What’s most striking is how clearly the index shows us that combating inequality isn’t about being the wealthiest country or the one of the biggest economy,” said Matthew Martin, director at Development Finance International.

“It’s about having the political will to pass and put into practice the policies that will narrow the gap between the ultra-rich and the poor.”

PAP is the BEST? Change or be changed.

Oxfam ranked Singapore 149 out of the 157 countries that it studied. ...
The index looks at three factors, beginning with a country's social spending on public services such as education, health and social protection. Singapore fares poorly by Oxfam's standards as the country's spending on education, health and social protection combined is "well below" countries such as South Korea and Thailand, which spent half their budget in these areas, said Oxfam. Singapore is also one of the few remaining countries that does not have a universal minimum wage.
Oxfam also looks at the rate of progressive taxation, saying that Singapore "under-taxes" wealthy individuals and corporations.

Yes, totally agree, especially when it's personal.
However, there should be a clear demarcation between personal and business.

Oxfam is lying! My grassroots adviser is very angry and we are thinking of suing Oxfam for defamation.

We have given out to our local residents so much help in the form of Workfare, U-save rebates, NTUC vouchers, Skillsfuture credits, minimum wages for cleaners and security guards, and cheap groceries through the RC. Why didn't Oxfam mention any of these?

Oxfam is part of Oxford which is associated with Thum.

Singapore-born citizens are like own family.
Foreigners are just friends.
Unfortunately, our parents feel that friends are more important and bring other women back to sleep and mess up the home.

So don't blame us for walking out of home.
