myth 114

Myth 114 Old means out or pay cut We have heard of the pathetic state of the PMETs. What caused them to be in such a postion? The policy of old is useless or FTs or a combination of both. These were our former local born talents, high salary, high value, high esteem, high flyers. Today they are low salary, low value, low esteem and low flying. The fault of globalisation? Lim Boon Heng is the best man to tackle this problem. He is a walking and living example of old is good and should be paid well. The way he goes, he will work till 90 and still smiling and still in demand, and getting an increment every year. What Boon Heng can do is to use the political profession as the perfect model for all to emulate. In this industry, salary is paid according to the appointment. As long as one holds the appointment, no matter what age, talent or not so talented, man or woman, everthing else is irrelevant, one can look forward to annual increment and big bonuses practically every year. The private sector need not look further to adopt this model for their employees. After all, what is profit for? And this is particularly pertinent to govt link companies. These organisations can't be making profits and profits to be stashed away for a tomorrow that never comes. It is the people and their well being. To feed the people and feed them well. Govt and govt linked companies should review their missions and look at how best to look after the people all the way from the President to the heartlanders. Everyone should see that this is a country that looks after them from cradle to their death bed.

Redbean, please come down to earth and live in reality. What you have described is utopia. It will never happen. Singapore is a country for the young. Why would any organisation employ an older person when they can get a younger person or a FT for lesser salary and more knwledge in computer?

Only if you're a member of the elite class.

"If you want to EARN MORE, make yourself and what you do WORTH MORE"

Its a simple idea, and never fails to work.

People believe in all sorts of other myths. EVERYONE gets OLDER by the second, and EVERYONE has to be productive in order to LIVE. Why should the rest of hard-working society kow-tow to the lazy bums who don't continue to improve themselves?
