Why doesn’t the PAP want to increase wages?

You read this article, and you read of Singaporeans who earn S$700, S$1,120. Then what’s the problem?

The problem is they cannot make ends meet, because their wages are too low, right?

But of course this article won’t talk about it. Because the PAP doesn’t want to do anything about it. It doesn’t want to increase wages.

But what does the government want people to do?

So, you have PAP MP Rahayu Mahzam who says “there is no immediate solution, but the Government will look into these problems to see how they can be better addressed”. So, no solution.

Then, you have PAP MP Louis Ng who says it has become “more affordable” to raise children today, and PAP GRC MP Seah Kian Peng who says milk powder is also “more affordable”. By “more affordable”, he means a can of milk powder below S$30. This is affordable? But it’s OK, the more they tell you, the more you will believe it, they think.

Then, you have PAP MP Lily Neo who says Singapore’s 3M system does not deprive anyone of healthcare due to a lack of means.

Of course, what they say doesn’t make sense. How can S$30 milk powder be considered “affordable”? How is it possible people are not being deprived of healthcare, when we hear of stories of people day in, day out, who have to die because they cannot pay for their cancer treatment, or who cannot use their Medisave to pay for healthcare?
