Is $575 chair too expensive for civil servants?

By Ng Wan Ching

A CHAIR is not as simple as it looks. Take the Herman Miller chairs, renowned for their ergonomic design.

Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan ordered these chairs as well as office systems when he was chief executive officer at the National University Hospital (NUH) some 25 years ago.

Replying to The New Paper's questions on the Ministry of Manpower's (MOM) decision to buy 472 Herman Miller Celle chairs for its staff, Mr Khaw said that one has to look at the lifetime cost of the chairs to see if they are worth it or not.


Each of the chairs cost MOM $575.

Mr Khaw said you can buy cheaper chairs, but if you have to replace the chairs every eight years or so, then the cheaper chair's lifetime cost would not be as cost-effective as the more expensive one.

Many civil servants like to sit on their job so it is important to protect their ass! 他们的屁股是非常重要的

This Herman miller chairs while sitting on it can fart easily too. No need to lean over one side.

PAP ministers should all start up a stall selling roti prata, I am sure their prata flipping skills can easily surpass the best roti prata in the world.

I recommend this chair for the civil serpents. Each chair can be assembled with top quality material for much less money.

wat if a alien UFO were to sell him a clone of himself that can last 1000yrs and half the price the alien usually sell eg S$500?
will he buy ?
just pay a small fee to transfer his spirit to the new clone body
that can save him alot of medical bills

You can get a GMS with a lifetime warranty, he is an alien isn't he? heh heh heh $575 can last a lifetime, that means Ministry of Manpower would not be buying new chairs until the year 2525.

He can have the chairs as long as he doesn't show his chest.

He can have all my chairs as long as he shows his daughter's chest instead.
