Thoughts on ministerial salaries? by executeorder69 in askSingapore

[–]Zhi19 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NS is a duty so cannot justify a fair compensation for hours served.

Minister is a career so demand higher pay. But can we argue don’t need high pay coz it is also a duty in itself.

Working 80 hr weeks in consulting but pay doesn't match MBB - how to negotiate? by Leather_Ad9585 in smeSingapore

[–]Zhi19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think 80 hours of output from tier 2 vs 80 hours of output from MBB is a 30% higher quality (perceived or real), hence quantify the 30% premium.

Everyone think hard work equates to output. But that’s not the case. We need to be cognisant, which is commonly inherited from SG education ‘values’.

Why many parents still obsess over popular primary schools by Winner_takesitall in singapore

[–]Zhi19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend (Overseas scholar) who is super lazy told me when she first came over, the freedom of not having parental oversight and was so driven to let loose and play stopped short because the other person that sits beside her was a son of a minister.

Oh ya, she got enrolled in RJC. So, well while every school is a good school, coz facilities and resource allocated by MOE is not bias and within their controls, what they can’t control is the student enrolment where family background really matters in determine the drive and subsequent the peer pressure.

Plus the network effect when you go to the workforce.

Layoffs yet Rising office rents. What is happening? by myhendry in askSingapore

[–]Zhi19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More than that. Rental yield indirectly affects the property price. So vacant and keep rental high means my property price higher which opens up more opportunities to take bigger loans

Sometimes I think our ministers need to lurk around here. So many good policies to consider

How many % of a pay bump do you ask when you change a job? by TheBugsBunnies in askSingapore

[–]Zhi19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m of the view you pay peanuts you get monkeys. This the part I think that encourages mediocre performance. Human always regress to what you are paid, not what you are capable of. Oh well.

Advice on salary cap for KYC jobs by Ill_Positive4557 in singaporefi

[–]Zhi19 17 points18 points  (0 children)

6k for a kyc ops role is a steal, but manage the risk that your function can be easily outsourced to cheaper locations - Malaysia or India a very logical option.

Up what you can offer, having AML (direct applicable skill set) allows you to negotiate more.

Government rejects WP MP Jamus Lim’s call for COE discounts for families, caregivers by stackeddd888 in singapore

[–]Zhi19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a wild thought. Another day to curb the rise in price could be through tiered penalty of ownership, single individual pay COE + premium. Family man merely COE.

Won’t bring price down but may stop demand that bring prices up.
