Our government

They took over your jobs.
They deprive of their livings.
They took over your home where you used to live.
They discriminate you when you are above 40s.

It was not the foreign worker.
It was not them.

They blamed on globalizations.
They blamed on others.
But not themselves.



Then who?

Guessed?

Our own government.
They took over your old, comfortable jobs and gave you a toilet for you to clean all day, a place for you to sweep the rubbish, and they paid you less.

Your job was taken over by the “foreign talents” who knew nothing.

Dammed the Globalization

Dammed the Globalization said a CCTV anchorman said having a Starbucks coffee outlet in the Forbidden City makes a mockery of Chinese culture reported the Beijing News.

He was Rui Chenggang.

It was the greastest joke that Starbucks makes out of Forbidden City.

Starbucks coffee is operating in one of the museum's 9,999 rooms. The room covers some ten square meters and is not spacious enough to house any exhibition

In 2003, a KFC outlet said good-bye to its former home in Beihai Park, a group of imperial gardens located in central Beijing, after the ten-year contract ran out. Park officials believe KFC doesn't fit in the imperial garden landscape.

Globalization II

For me, it just meant capitalism without regard of humanity and all out for profit by retort to any means or methods, ethical or unethical to get it done.

and it sucked every resources that are being poured in.

With ever-increasing income-gap, the richer people paid less and less tax but those with lower-income ones are being taxed heavily and heavily.

It was further eroded as we import large number of unskilled worker (foreign Talents) which kept our wages artifically low.

Although there was fast economy growth, what was the use when we could not enjoy the fruits?

With our aging population, a large numbers of above 40s could not even find a job as it was "alloted" to foreigners as they were cheaper. Furthermore, they formed 25% of our population, which is "only" about 1 millions. So, NTU's team was right on mark when they said that half of the newly created jobs went to foreigners.

And our medical fees kept artifically high to have a high standard and we have kept on paying through our hard-earned medisave monies.

The cost of medical bills was instead higher inspite of recents changes.

It will come to a breaking point that all things will collapse, one day and it will.

The questions we should ask: WHEN?

Globlalization

What do this big word meant to us, as an ordinary person.

It was simply meaning that when you are over 35 years and highly paid??($1500-3000)and you have stayed in the same company for too long, you will be the first one to be retrenched..ops should say restructing, a nicer word for you to hear.

You will be replaced by those foreign talent(cheap Labour who are paid $500 a month).

For those who stay on, you have to be multi-tasked, that mean you have to do many people's job for one person's salary. The management is ensure no one is indispensible. everyone, excluding the top management, are expandable.

To cut cost further, your company out-sourced to other companies who tendered the lowest price. Lowest price did not equal to high standard. it just meant what you paid is what you get. And it will not stopped but continuing the downward spiraling

For the profit of the company, the 20% will go to 80% of ordinary workers like you and me while 80% will go to the top managment.

What they told you are not true but half truths. They said restructing was good for you and me, but they never said that if you are over 35 years, you will be the first on the chopping board and they said that life will get better.

Not for you but for them. they are no different than the sweat shops. They asked you to work for long hours and paid little, have less benefits or taken away.

also, they create a KPI (Key Performance Index) to measure your productivity. But do the top managment have KPI? Even as the company's profit plunged 80-90%, they still get the extra-ordinaary bonus and salaries.

The managment always said that they were democratic. But it was always top-down approach. They have decided what best for you without having to consulted you.

You are then told to do what they have decided. it was alway a familair deja-vu.

Peanuts

What I remember most about former NKF’s CEO was a remark by SM’s wife, Mrs. Goh Chok Tong.

She remarked that NKF’s CEO salary of S$60,000 was a peanut.

For 33% of our fellow Singaporean, our salaries was not even half of one peanut, not to talk about 10%. Ours is just a mere 0.01%

How pathetic we are.
