I saw this video on facebook and it's not easy to retire in SG now, we need to protect our wages!
We need to implement minimum wage! or in our case progressive wage!

If I have to become cleaner when I turn old, need some form of protection. I hope this pushes through soon for a lot more other industries like maybe F&B. Become Mcdonalds worker flip burger or at counter when I "retire" also good.
It's honest job as cleaner or at mcdonald. If not have to sell tissue to survive.

A minimum wage is not going to help retirement as it will just cause inflation which means your retirement funds are worth less at the time you need them the most.

Sell tissues will get you more than any minimum wage, 100 sales a day would get you $3k.

2 tier taxation system. I propose that taxes for all non-citizens are taxed at doubled the normal rate. This money will then be held in a fund to be disbursed to all citizens upon retirement.

Let me give you some TIPS, gentlemen prefer blondes
In the securities markets, they opt for government bonds
Me said many times before, not one policy will cure all ills
Caused by Lightning's un-coordinated policies of the past

In Yankee Land where they have minimum wage
Uncle Sam knew that retirees will suffer inflation
TIPS were created for exactly this purpose
Treasury Inflation Protected Securities are they
Coupon is linked to inflation and retirees can relax

Howsabout Sinkieland's See Pee Elf minimum return
Be tied to inflation and you problem is somewhat solved

If they are voted out, Singapore will be in an even worse state. If you think the current bunch of ministers aren't up to scratch, just wait till you experience real stupidity courtesy of the current opposition parties.

Sorry lah bro, I am for helping poor people, no political agendas. I am pushing out things to make sure that people make educated and informed choices to support policies when it comes to helping people out.

I strongly support helping the poor.

If there is no minimum or progressive wage, who is there to help the poor people out? How can we sit back and relax to let the market "adjust" itself?
We can't just sit comfortably in our office with our comfortable wage and let the poor fend for themselves. It's not right.
