Minimum wage in Malaysia

Read this article.

My view
I am in favor of a minimum wage in Singapore. We should pay more for our services and labor. When other people can earn a decent wage, they will have more money to spend, which is good for other types of businesses.

If we pay more for our services, we will have less money to spend on houses and cars. The prices of these items will not escalate out of proportion. We will have a more balanced economy. People will have more money to spend on art, culture and sports, instead of expecting freebies to be given by the government.

We will not have the uncertain situation that was experienced with the ticket sales for the Youth Olympic Games, F1 and many other events.
