  2. 很可惜!看来又被拐进了牛角尖。错误的把“生产力”和“生产率”混淆在一起。

    就像估计“马力”一样,每一个“个人”的生产力就是“1”。而估计生产力的价值,不在于这个“生产力”而在于这个“生产力”的“生产率”!

    生产力与工资有什么关系呢?

    这样说吧!一个南亚工人,在本国扫地一天1$。来到了马国,同样在扫地,一天50灵吉,大约11$。来到了新加坡,也是50块,是34$。去到美国,一天是70$。而来到欧盟法国德国荷兰,一天100$不是难事。

    当然,这些工资数额都不太准确。我想说的是:这个工资与生产力的换算 -- 这个南亚工人不会坐了飞机出国就变成“超人”,那么同样的“生产力”,怎么来到了不同的国家酬报就“不一样”呢?

    很简单,那就是这些国家都有最低工资。而所以有最低工资,就是对于该地区的最低生活水准的换算,也就是让人可以“活”下去。

    所以,新加坡的烦恼不在于工资涨不涨,而是在于工资与环境的绝对关系。

    但是,在新加坡我们都知道最低工资的制度行不通,以新加坡的人均GDP来说,新加坡的最低工资只会比美国多。这么一来,新加坡就完蛋了 -- 咱就画公仔画出肠,这么说吧,新加坡如果根据实况计算出真实的生产力与工资的关系,那么就没有戏了 -- 劳工成本最少增加一倍以上。

    因此,新加坡人唯一的办法,就是老老实实的在就业补助上下功夫。只要是全职工作者的新加坡公民,那么政府就必须保证他/她的收入达到在新加坡生活的最低水平。

    末了,还得说清楚的,是工资和生产力从来就与“人才”没有关系。

Sub-standard PAP and the Singapore education system

I make a 'policy shift' when I hear the debate of right politics, constructive politics and sub-standard opposition. My original aim is to discuss about “Su Dongbo, Zhang Juzheng and Singapore education system”. The discussion will end with a sub-standard PAP, in particular from the assessment of the quality of PAP potential candidates. Another policy shift is to discuss it like a play, a drama and make it more entertainment rather than a sub-standard political discussion. Act 1 Gangster’s demand Imagine a sense in the Hong Kong's gangster movie (or a godfather movie), the gangsters' master is shouting at his poor opponent and demand him to give a price for his wrong act. The poor guy without any resources can only offer his body or his service to work for the master. Back in his own chamber, the master is still not satisfied and continues to shout 'don't play, play, you think you are hero, you think you are tiger, or superstar or acting ...

EBRC objectives: Stop “Out of Aljunied”, Stop SDP Breakthrough and “Negative-Asset” Ministers.

First of all, we have to congratulate the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee for creating more competitions, especially, multi-cornered competitions in the East. When making changes, EBRC aims to achieve 3 goals: To prevent “Out of Aljunied” for Workers’ Party.  This is the most important objective. To prevent Singapore Democratic Party making any breakthrough in the North and Central.   To look for a solution to retire “negative-asset” ministers or reduce PAP damages. From the reported claims from different political parties, we will expect multi-cornered contests not only in single constituencies but also in group representative constituencies. The PAP hopes to have a repeat of 2011 Presidential Election. Then Tony Tan won the Presidency when he got only 35% of the votes, a narrow win.However, a win is still a win. He did in even in the very last minute, after recounts of votes.    How to achieve multi-cornered contests? By i...

Is Prism Project Another Central Planning of the PAP?

There are 3 scenarios under the Prism Project#1 of Institute of Public Policy.  However, it looks more like the central scenario planning of the People’s Action Party. From the instructional menu of Prism Project Primer #2, participants were guided to a situation in 2022 and they have to imagine, within the Primer framework, to come out with 3 possible scenarios in Jun-Aug 2012.  2022. What a coincidence! Not long ago, PM Lee declared that he would like to hold the prime minister post for another 10 years. The other coincidence is the similarity between the 3 scenarios and the candidates of PE2011. How competitive and sustainable are the 3 scenarios to the people of Singapore and to the PAP?   Will the scenarios produce competitive and sustainable Singapore, Singaporeans or the PAP?  Perhaps, as what the Chinese say: planning cannot always catch up with changes.   And planning sometimes turns out the wrong, bad and unexpected results, espec...
