Lim Swee Say “hopes” to see continuous
increase in median wages for workers

Lim Swee Say
PAP Minister without portfolio and NTUC Secretary-General Lim Swee Say said he hopes to “see a continuous steady increase in the median wage for workers over the next 10 years,” according to a report by Channel News Asia.
Mr Lim was commenting on the latest findings released by the Manpower Ministry showing that an increase in median monthly wages for Singapore residents to $2,500 after accounting for inflation.
However, the statistics may not give a complete picture of the reality on the ground as it includes both Singapore citizens and PRs who are strictly speaking, foreigners.
The median monthly wages for the lowest 20 percent of the income group is strangely missing, but Mr Lim gave his “assurance” that they will also get “help” from the PAP regime to improve their wages.
Mr Lim is in charge of the largest (approved) trade union in Singapore which is ironically linked to the ruling PAP under the unique “tripartite alliance” not found anywhere in the world.
