The ones who should celebrate today are those who produce no labor-the rent earners, the banks that earn interest from the hefty debts Singaporeans have to take up for housing. Most of all our govt, that take in billions in revenue from a piece of paper called the COE while the delivery man who drives the van is the lowest paid delivery man in the developed world. Yet our prime minister is worried that paying the delivery man more pushes up business costs when the COE his govt issues, fuel taxes,vehicle taxes, ERP costs more than 10 years wages of the delivery man who produces the labour. Similarly, the sales people and cashiers working in shops that pay one of the highest rentals in the world are paid the lowest wages among workers with similar occupations developed countries.
