He was probably referring to those in between, those who dropped from 10k to 4k or who dropped from 4.5 months' bonus down to 0 month bonus.

Live within one's means

MANY Singaporeans are still clinging on to a lifestyle of excesses, incurring debts they could have avoided, said an MP in Parliament on Tuesday.

Urging them to be prudent and to steer clear of excesses in these trying times, Mr Wee Siew Kim, MP for Ang Mo Kio GRC, said Singaporeans caught in financial bind must make the hard adjustments - a point which was raised in President SR Nathan's address at the opening of the second session of Parliament last week.
In his speech during the debate on the President's address, Mr Wee said on Tuesday that while the financial freefall seems to be over, the economy may drag at the bottom for some time.

Between earning S$700 a month and S$11,000 of monthly allowance for an MP, I am pretty sure most Singaporean will be able to live prudently if he/she is earning S$11,000.

Tell that to someone earning S$700 a month.

Wee and his elite uncaring daughter are really the ones living a lifestyle of excess... He can afford to take his daughter for bowling, golf or piano lessons if he want to. Most Singaporeans cannot afford a lifestyle of extravagance and excesses ike those 2 uncaring elites.

No, he really got excess, he milk from us the Tax Payer.

Lackey Lim never failed to subtract from humanity's pooled intelligence when he speaks. He forgot one well paid perm sec actually paid the French $45,000 to be a kitchen help.

Now that is a life of excess.
