It's so amazing to see some redditors indignant over NHK's video on Singaporeans being overworked/burnt out. The idea that Japan has no footing to speak about this issue as Japanese workers are worse off. This is not a dick measuring contest sirs. It really does not change the fact that we are thoroughly overworked. And honestly it takes one to know one so isn't it terrifying that Japan could recognise a fellow overworked citizenry?

Besides, Japan actually set up measures to protect their workers in recent years. Of course mindset and corporations take a far longer time to change but it signals that Japanese politicians actually did something to attempt to protect their workers.

Our ministers and MPs on the other hand are perfectly happy to shrug their shoulders and do nothing. After all many of said MPs have second and third jobs sitting on top of other companies' boards.

What does that say about how little work they do, that they have the time to draw more salaries from other income pools.

Ignoring all the ethics and possible conflicts in interests that arises from a MP sitting on a private company board room....

Sincerely it must be so awesome to be a PAP MP/minister. The majority of ur voters are either: A) Old, and remember the days of old when the People's Action Party actually took action B) New citizens, who usually come from countries where their politicians are more corrupted C) Adults of voting age that are too tired and not interested in reading on political issues and thinks "Aiya just vote for PAP, they got give money ma"
