Population woes

[WeiHan]

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.

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.

Fresh SG grad asking for $3K, or

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

Neither. I will hire a mature SC non-graduate with work experience at somewhere between $2-3k. He/she will need less training and is less likely to job hop. A degree is over-rated.

Yours must be a low value added job that don't require the workers to find relevant information independently, solve the relevant differential equations, create mathematical models and do computer simulations for the problems.

[quote]Ex-manager earns $7k as cabby
Mr Muhammad Hasnor Hashim, 32, quit his $5,000 a month job as a security manager a year ago to become a cabby, and he has no regrets.
\"My taxi is a money machine,\" said the father of three, who has a diploma in administration. \"Every day, I see the money and it is directly dependent on how hard I work.\"
He earns an average of about $7,000 a month working Mondays to Saturdays, he said, and gets to join his family for dinner every day. Sunday is his day off.
The driver with Premier Taxis finds it puzzling when some cabbies complain that it is a struggle to earn a living. It could be because some are semi-retired and spend time in coffee shops chatting, he said...[/quote]No need study hard... No need compete with FTs...
