Lim Swee Say wants Singapore’s economy to be “faster, better and cheaper”
TEMASEK REVIEW
PAP minister without portfolio and NTUC Secretary-General Lim Swee Say now wants Singapore to develop a “cheaper, better and faster” economy after calling on Singapore workers to do so earlier.
He stressed that “there is a need for both employers and employees to embrace the productivity drive and remove bottlenecks” in order to achieve the noble objective.
Speaking to Channel News Asia, he added that “it’s important to track the progress of the ‘cheaper, better and faster’ initiative so that companies and unions keep moving up the improvement ladder.”
According to NTUC, such initiatives had led to the breaking of three key bottlenecks over the past five years such high dependency on overseas technical support, low machine productivity, and low labour productivity.
What was not mentioned is Singapore’s chronic dependence on cheap foreign workers who has resulted in its low labor productivity compared to other developed nations.
It is strange that while both companies and workers are exhorted to be “cheaper, better and faster”, the same rule does not apply to PAP ministers.
On the contrary, they are getting more and more expensive with an expected hefty pay hike this year thanks to the strong “rebound” of the Singapore economy.
Despite the ever-increasing salaries of PAP ministers and senior civil servants, it is debatable if they are getting “better and faster” at the same time.
Unfortunately, there is no way Singaporeans can remove non-performing ministers from the cabinet. Regardless of how they screw up, they will still be “voted” into Parliament somehow at the end of the day.
