handouts? since when?
Before everyone scream bloody murder about the pay and "lazy" Singaporeans, can one take a look at the article about Jumbo's rental in Vivo jumping by 50%?
It is amazing that many of the major malls (including Vivocity) have a lot of space which are not leased, and with the poor economic/retail conditions, the landlords here (oligopoly of a few GLCs and private players) can still push the rent up by 50%. Imagine what happens during "boom" times. Must be multiple times of the original rent.

i dunno abt other fancy restaurant but the last time i ate in jumbo, i remember they are plastic lor. most of us who go reservist should notice that the cookhouse dishwasher aunties are mostly those 40-50yo type and camp cookhouse also have plenty to wash where a least a thousand personnel eat their meal each day three time a day. so i see no problem for middle age folks to work as dishwasher at a month for $1600.00. i dunno the working hour each day but on a 8hr shift for 5.5days week, that will be about $9 an hour which is not bad. i think if they eligable for the tips collected then they may get even more. if there is shift allowance then even better.
as for bro amobea claim that it a young person job, i beg to differ. everyday i see three 60yo+ loading and unloading 20kg bags of flour for $100 a day, so not all old folks are as weak as u tot to be. i agree with sam and scrooball (clone) that many but not all singaporeans want easy aircon job with high pay. in the past, most restaurants dishwashers were local, so the main issue is not what one had to do in the job but whether the salary are fair. so the arguement whether what age group of workers can tahan the strain of the job are nonsense but should just see whether the salary are fair or not.
of course, i not sure the $1600 is basic pay or projected salary after all benefits counted in. if it basic pay, then it a fair amount for a dishwasher.
So which retard here will pay more than $1,600 to hire a local dishwasher if you run a restaurant?
Kee Chiu! Kee Chiu!

bro, of cse, there are retirees who are physically fit and can handle heavy manual work. What i am saying is retirees in general. Abv 65 yo.
generally, there are choices available for one to work - given 1600, there are other more "attractive" options out there with "better" working conditions.
In fact, I can say unless the pay goes up by another 200 more, there will be few takers from Singaporeans.
If we look at the jobless ratings revealed at 2% for 2011 (as stated in Shit Times), there will be few takers.
vivo city is maple tree --thats GIC for you.
Stop lying la.
Look at what you said below....You said "nature of job rules out retirees". But you did not say "some retirees" or "most retirees". So now after your stupidity is exposed, you are trying to say "retirees in general".

?? wah seh...u mean i need to be so specific har?
what is this, court submission >? LOL
hey...back from lunch liao right? answer my question please.
You haven't answer how you want me to define, you twit. Are you really so forgetful?
PSLE and below. So what else you want my opinion of? Your wife? LOL
Unfortunately, this grp of people are rare species these days.
and even security guard today require min. O levels.
to your second part of the qn...sorry...i single....
Rare? Do you have the statistics to back up your claim? How rare is rare? Pls answer and do not dodge. If dunno, just say dunno.
if u r toking abt retiree who have education, then may there are relac jobs out there for them that pay better. But the real world there are many more 40-60yo who are without an education who can work as a dishwasher. mind u, $1.6k is much higher than the pittance pay by mcdonald. $1.6k i admit is not enough to raise a family but it can supplement the family income if both work. jumbo i believe have shift work, so got chance to tolong team leader for working hrs that is easy for family life. $1.6k is even much higher than my first office job which take home is less than $1k.
but the main issue i have with the article is that i dun believe dishwasher basic can reach $1.6k a month. must be included all the OT and shift allowance.
An employer will pay u based on the revenue you can generate for him, not based on the number of children you have. So if people say stupid things like "$1,600 how to support a family of 4?", then they are daft.
Based on their theory, i can pay lower wage to a single person without a family to feed?

hmm...here's what i found for 2008.
assuming the birth rate for S'pore = 8.5 /1,000. Given 3million singaporean, birth = 25,500
assuming no infant mortality...all these kids survive to schooling. Dropout rate of 1.6% , you get 408. is that considered high?
2The dropout rate in Singapore is now at 1.6%, and has been decreasing considerably from 5.3% in 1997 and 3.6% in 2002. The decrease has reflected improvements at all levels and amongst students of all ethnic groups.
Silly silly. Your stats reflect ongoing trend tracking youths, but totally disregard the entire scope of older citizens who have low or even no education prior to that.
You wanna play statistics with me? You messed with the wrong fella. Furthermore, what is the significance level used?
LOL...so share your findings please.
You shared, i challenged. So your turn to respond. Dunno just say dunno.
