      Fresh SG grad asking for $3K, or

      Fresh S Pass holder asking for $2K...

      Who will you hire?
      The equation went wrong somewhere....
      :faint:

          3Boys:


          I really do think its do or die in the next 10-15 years for our economy.
          could be 5 years

          Euro and US are stagnating, China is slowing down, Japan still in slumberland, Singapore has no hinterland except some expensive human resource who think too highly of themselves and think that the world owe it to them for a living, and they can't be stressed to compete with the world......

          For so long they have been told they are the best in the world, but they didn't realise the world has moved on and the well they are dwelling in is getting deeper

              In a way, it is true that the riches in the world pushes for changes that are advantages for them. They have lobbied all the respective governments and authorities in the world to so-call globalised the world and to sign free trade pacts. Is apparent that businesses especially huge MNCs are the one benefited the most from these changes. Workers in places like Singapore has the greatest to lose as they can no longer ask for fresh graduate pay of $3k and have to settle with much lower pay which 3rd world countries workers are offering. Big bisinesses are the one that benefitted the most as it is obvious because they as said, they are the one that have lobbied for the change.


              Now, who can argue that it is not the elites of the world that have written the rules and law of the games that will benefit them the most?

                [quote]August report...
                Starting pay for fresh grads in Singapore up: Survey
                Degree holders without honours are earning an average of $2,678 this year - 2.3 per cent higher than the $2,617 last year.
                Those with honours in the second lower category or below are earning an average of $2,766 - up 2.1 per cent from $2,710 last year.[/quote]So SG fresh grads should be asking for lower pay to fight with S Pass holders?
                Or SG fresh grads are more qualified, so can ask for higher pay?
                :?

                  If S-pass grad ask for $2K , with kick backs, local grad should ask for $1.6K. Imagine when local grads are cheaper, better and faster then there will be no competition. Very good for Singapore but not very good for Singaporean.

                      Since Govt offer S pass for cheap workers.. 不拿白不拿.. even if can well afford more exp local grads. Unless govt don't give.. if give, of coz take lah..

                        Like that ar, looks like T-score, doing modelling @ P6 math, knows 2nd lang not much value add leh. Quite sure none of these S-pass need to 'suffer' these chim chim stuff before 12.
