Tan Chuan Jin: I am against Minimum Wage because companies cannot afford it

[makapaaa]

Oh! Then why do the FAP ministers enjoy minimum wage to the tune of millions (i.e. pegged to top earners)? Cos SGs can 'afford it'? SGs should ask themselves if they want such selfish, callous and 'out-of-touch' people to be their MPs, much less ministers, when they demand the best pay in the world, but leaving you to 'die is your own business'.

In a campaign video featuring former Minister for Social and Family Development Tan Chuan Jin, the PAP candidate for Marine Parade GRC said that he is against the Minimum Wage because Singapore companies cannot afford to pay a minimal living wage and as a result Singaporeans will lose their jobs.

Tan Chuan Jin said he prefers the ruling party government’s Workfare, which provides low income workers with cash and CPF payments out from government taxes so that businesses and companies do not have to pay higher salaries. Workfare only applies to those aged 35 and above earning below S$1,900, and is a form of wage subsidy for businesses.

“What Workfare does is help to boost what individuals may be earning, but without imposing that burden on companies that may be worried about their bottom line. This is meant to help individuals, to make sure they remain employable.
A minimum wage system would have the “inadvertent side effect” of causing some Singaporeans to lose their jobs. These companies may not be prepared to pay that wage level. We’ve seen that happening in other countries”
​

Tan Chuan Jin also claimed that Workfare is better because it is “a more difficult path”, without explaining in details its “difficulty” when Workfare is just about using government taxes to subsidize companies.

Minister u have never been a businessman so u do not know how your employment policy have affected the businessman when u r minister if manpower. Now u tell the people during election that business can't afford minimum wages. Go do your research, who r the people getting below minimum wages? The helpless elderly who need to feed themselves but can't find a job. These Singaporeans should be protected by your law set for minimum wages if any. Business generally are not able to afford levies and additional cpf imposed by the government. U will never know....

what a fucktard millionaire ministar christian mentor.why not mandate it compulsory by law for companies to pay their employees minimum wage,then if the bosses company bottomline cannot make it,ask the government to give them welfare in the form of cash and tax credit and cpf payments,same as workfare but instead its workfare for bosses and ceos.if still cannot make it ask the bosses to go pick cardboard to supplement their income and exercise.

afterall its the same thing,use taxpayer's monies to subsidise useless sinkies' paycheck that cannot compete with cheaper better faster or use taxpayers monies to subsidise useless companies that cannot make it.sama sama.

Same as "SG first", minimum wage will NEVER be made into law as long as the FAP is in power. Because their interests have never been with the ordinary folks. The FAP is only concerned with perpetuating one-Familee, one-party rule. And that means doing all they can - to the extent of replacing SGs with foreigners - to ensure that ordinary SGs can never pose a serious challenge to their power. They will do all they can to ensure ordinary SGs to remain hapless, powerless and have to struggle their entire lives financially. WP sees the crux of the problem and hits the nail on the head when it chooses 'Empower Your Future' as the theme for this GE. The many 'mothers of issues' facing SGs are a direct result of ordinary SGs' appalling lack of representation in the Parliament and consequent lack of power to shape their future and that of their descendants. Therefore the real solution is to vote in as many Oppos as possible into the Parliament balance things up and make the $multi-million FAP ministers to do their job for ordinary SGs and earn their keep.

This farking idiot does not understand that Workfare is no more than a subsidy to employers.
And how to remain employable when FTs are coming in, willing to accept even lower wages?
