I am completely confused after following the fracas on the CDC staff bonus for the last 3 days. There are too many mouths talking at the same time, giving statements which seem to contradict each other. Why can’t they just come clean with the bonuses? The more they try to get around the questions by giving vague answers, the more it appears they have something to hide.
From 938live:
People’s Association:
“PA also said only low-income workers can get a higher performance bonus to narrow the income gap between them and colleagues who received a higher basic salary in order to retain outstanding workers. On a whole, only a small percentage of workers with exceptional performance qualify for higher bonuses.”
From Straits Times:
Mr Lim Boon Heng:
“Mr Lim did not deny the rumours on Monday. He pointed out that only a select few who did exceptionally well would get such high bonuses, and that it was likely that those in more senior grades in the CDCs got bigger bonuses because their basic pay was low.”
CONTRADICTION # 1:
This statement from the People’s Association gave me the impression that only low-income workers are entitled to higher performance bonuses like a few months or more, maybe up to 8 months.
However, Mr Lim revealed a few days later that senior officers got bigger bonuses. If the basic pay of senior officers is low, then what about the pay of junior officers? Surely their pay can’t be higher than that of senior officers? Is Mr Lim saying that only senior officers are entitled to bigger bonuses and not junior officers with less pay?
