Upgrade Peasants' Skill FOR FURTHER EXPLOITATION = Uniquely Singapore

[AhLeePaPa]

PAP govt has a misleading trick that almost worked.

But it is the world uniqueness of it that was giving it away.

Which other country is like PAP's Singapore UPGRADING SKILLS OF PEASANTS? Many countries at this modern age are developing faster and better than Singapore from 3rd world states, Vietnam India PRC for examples. Which one is doing this trick? Even Malaysia need not do this.

Why ONLY our peasants' knowledge and skill OUTDATED UNIQUELY SINGAPORE in this entire world? WHY?

That is the give away.

Because peasants outside PAP's Singapore are not so betrayed and exploited like Singaporeans, they are not losing their securities and future and retirements (UNIQUELY CPF:() like Singaporeans, in ALL OTHER COUNTRIES where ministers are NOT PAID MILLION DOLLARS!

PAP can not betray and further exploit Singaporean peasants after FTs took their homes and jobs, that's the main reason PAP need to UPGRADE peasants for the sake of only further and deeper exploitations, to rip off cheap labor from these already very poor peasants who are like slaves.

Basically so called UPGRADING are re-training of slaves, necessary for further and deeper exploitations, nothing more.

And shameless fucking bastard PAP gave their evil scheme another GLORIFIED NAME called UPGRADING as usual.

More help for low-wage workers:oIo::oIo:

my paper




By Dawn Tay

MORE measures are in the pipeline to make it easier for low-wage workers to upgrade their skills and land better-paying jobs, Manpower Minister Gan Kim Yong said yesterday.

The Government is reviewing the three-year-old Workfare Income Supplement (WIS) scheme, so that low-wage workers will also be able to enjoy more benefits, he said during a dialogue with Nee Soon residents yesterday.

The WIS provides incentives for older low-wage workers to find jobs and stay employed, and supplements their incomes.

In 2008, it paid out $384 million to 329,000 workers.

While the Economic Strategies Committee (ESC) report released last week focused on raising productivity levels, it also paid particular attention to how to help low-wage workers improve their income. It also recommended that the Government should explore enhancing the WIS and find ways to help such workers upgrade their skills, Mr Gan said.

He explained: "The focus is really on how to make it easier for older, low-wage workers to continue to acquire new skills...to pursue higher-value jobs so that their incomes can improve over time."

He did not elaborate on the details of the measures yesterday. More would be announced in the Budget, to be released on Feb 22, he said.

These measures are expected to address some of the obstacles faced by low-wage workers in going for training.

Mr Gan said that a recent ministry study has thrown light on four main obstacles to such older workers from attending courses.

First, the low literacy and numeracy skills of this group are learning barriers to taking up training programmes.

Second, many such workers are dependent on overtime pay or part-time jobs to earn money, which they are not willing to forgo in order to take a course.

Third, some are unable to finish their courses, as they drop out to take up better job offers.

Finally, some employers of these workers may be unwilling to send them for training, as employers might lack manpower or find the courses too costly.

To overcome these obstacles, measures would have to be taken to help them overcome potential income loss, improve their numeracy and literary skills and encourage employees to release them for training, Mr Gan said.

He added that the Government is considering increasing the frequency of payments and shortening the qualifying period of employment for the WIS.

A person is eligible for WIS if he has worked at least three out of six months before a payout.

However, there are "pros and cons", said Mr Gan.

He explained: "We want to see if we can reward more people, but don't want to compromise the objective of this scheme, which is to encourage regular consistent work."

Former retiree Reduan Yussoff, 63, who landed a job last September as a horticultural technician, has been waiting for his WIS payout.

Mr Reduan, whose wife earns $300 a month as a part-time housekeeper, is banking on WIS to supplement his salary of $1,200 a month to support his six-going school children.

On the payout, he said: "It's never enough, but I'm thankful for whatever I get. I'm also looking to upgrade myself and take landscape-designing courses which can help in my work."

As for people with irregular work, Mr Gan said that the ministry is still in discussion whether to redesign WIS to cater to them, or whether other schemes need to be looked at.

Singapore's push for productivity to sustain growth in the coming years will also lead to workers' income improving over time, said Mr Gan.

"The ultimate objective of the ESC recommendations is to achieve long-term sustainable growth driven by productivity, which will translate into better income for workers."
