<!-- message -->Dear MM Lee, thank you for your word of wisdom recently that we the citizens who had gone through SH.IT for those years. Now you say that we will not go back to pre-crisis level of wealth. I accept that there is up and down with fortune and wealth.
A few suggestion from my limited brain cell and two cents-worth of brain and my little brain compared to your team and your goodself.
1) Cut the PM, MM, SM pay since you have said that you serve Singapore out of your love for Singapore. Let start with 30%.
2) Withdraw the recent pay rise for the Cabinet and freeze the pay for 3 years.
3) Cut the top civil servant up to 30% of annual paycheck starting from the top. However, spare the small fry in the public sector and they are the one who are suffering with us.
4) COnsider to reduce the S&C since the fund at town council is huge and maintain the reduction for 3 years. You said that we had enough reserve.
5) Consider to reduce the PUB bill without waiting for the quarter end. Delay the increase but give the decrease immediately if possible.
6) Whenever the public transport to reduce fare, need not wait for the two weeks' notice. Allow immediate effect. As for the increase, a thorough scrintiny to be done and give at least 3 months' notice.
7) Consider to give more to middle income and not just lower income. The middle income are the worst to hit during the crisis as the lower income are usually well taken care of in bad times.
8) Remember not to cut CPF contribution of employer alone, consider to cut CPF contribution of employee. Release more cash for the people to spend out of our crisis since Sm God said so.
These are my humble suggestion though I am just a small fry and brainless Singapores and not the elite.
