Weez911 Supersonic August 3, 2020 Share August 3, 2020 https://www.straitstimes.com/forum/forum-workers-party-chief-should-be-wary-of-involuntary-exclusion Mr Pritam Singh's decision to set aside a portion of his allowance as Leader of the Opposition exclusively for residents in constituencies held by the Workers' Party leaves me both disappointed and perturbed (Pritam to donate half his pay increase as Leader of Opposition, July 31). The allowance bestowed upon the Leader of the Opposition and, indeed, our ministers, is entrusted to them through our collective vote. Whether you believe that the amount they earn from their appointments is justified, the implication is that this sum is an investment in their judgment and ability to work towards the betterment of every citizen in the country they now serve. Having foisted this responsibility upon individuals, however, it is left to their discretion to spend the money as they see fit, led by their personal biases and motivations. Mr Singh's decision to declare his intentions in the manner that he did suggests to me two narratives. Either he is openly buying the votes of his constituents while stoking political polarisation, or his shortsighted and arguably naive generosity blinds him to the base tribalism that he incites and encourages in his party's supporters. Perhaps he seeks to lead by example through charity. But more than inspiring kindness and tolerance, I see greater division among my fellow Singaporeans. As Leader of the Opposition, using the words of one of his own party members, MP Jamus Lim, Mr Singh ought to be "mindful of the risks of involuntary exclusion/inclusion, which can result in perceptions of unfair or biased treatment".

Meanmachine 6th Gear August 3, 2020 Share August 3, 2020 Mr Singh is keeping his manifesto safe to his party motto, so we are sure he will carry it out faithfully and diligently, no doubt it will cast few narratives, tell me which party candidate who declared to donate would not be putting himself/ herself in a shooting duck position, just becoz Mr. Singh spoke of his intention is clear, let alone willing to step forward, unless those MP in power for decades haven't come forth. As Leader of Opposition , he led by examples, in particular about salary being made a donation drive to which organisation, charity and the weak and poor citizens, so that in future of any forbearing authority checking on him 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think pap is the grandmaster of divisive politics in the past donkey years, with the lift upgrading program, estate development approval by losing candidate, and PA operations to further pap's own interest amongst several others. Anyway I agree with you they are simply casting aspersions on good intent. This is also political and divisive in my view. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarNutz 4th Gear May 13, 2021 Share May 13, 2021 Maybe I share a little of my personal perspective as a so called member of the gig economy since 2016 until now. Not as a grab delivery but in the education sector. Paid by the hour too but with cpf contributions. No bonus,no medical leave and no career progression. Is it by choice? Yes and no. I see my peers all holding top jobs with bright future I feel envious occasionally. But looking on the bright side I survived well until now. A supportive family helps a lot. Having said that nearing 50 soon so perhaps prospects or prestige doesn't mean as much. But to a younger person in his 20s to 30s,yes having career progression is important. But being a optimistic person helps and looking forward to a hopefully successful retirement in few years when child is financially independent. Last but not least,my personal journey has made me a more adaptable and resilient person. Does not take things for granted now. Just my two cents worth from a typical hdb heartlander at the lower level of society. Hope it can encourage pple out there:) Cheers. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Business is not bad now with many seeking private tuition to bolster all the half-baked online learning Plus you don't have to suffer idiosyncrasies of bosses and assorted school "top management" simply parroting policy after policy change flowing downwards from ministry. Private tuition has been very nimble to adapt to online lesson delivery and can survive covid circuit breaker with no hiccups. Unlike the ton of admin in schools that has to be done to accompany the online lesson! ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
