Dear PAP, you should ask this question to the SDP; If the minimum wage is applied to ALL foreign workers, does it apply to foreign domestic maids in so many households in Singapore? It will mean higher costs for so many Singaporean families already struggling. If you vote SDP you are going to pay thousands for having a maid. Think carefully before you vote.
Hi all, you guys know I am not a PAP supporter. However I question the tenacity and resolve of the Singapore people. Despite their complaints and hot air, when it comes to the crunch and it impacts on their own pockets and households they will go back and vote the PAP.
The maid issue is one that I believe the PAP should use to their advantage and make the people think again.
On the other hand, I have said many times the day I believe things are changing will be when Singaporeans decide to no longer have maids at home and do their own housework and take care of their children just like all the other people living in other truly first world countries. Relying on cheap foreign labor whether to construct new buildings, clean the streets or wash the toilets in your own home is not the way to go, however so many Singaporeans continue to have maids at home regardless whether they are pro- PAP or anti-PAP. For simple math, a $10/hr minimum wage would mean $10/hr x 18-24h x 26-30 per month ($4680-$7200) for each maid they have.
