I wasn't too amused by some of the ideas floated in Parliament last week: https://critical.sg/why-is-the-pap-planting-suicidal-ideas-in-parliament/

Salaries in Singapore are going up, with median hitting S$6000 per month. But how much of it stays in your pocket? https://vulcanpost.com/913855/singapore-salaries-rise-6000-gross-median-monthly-income/

Almost 2x the national median. https://vulcanpost.com/913789/singapore-tech-salaries-jobs/

No comments required, tbh. https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=1654393002710951&set=a.817671726383087

Another great idea from Jamus 🙂 https://critical.sg/jamus-lim-wants-to-save-local-cuisine-is-he-going-to-cover-the-losses/

The OMIP programme is ending in a few months - at least for the time being, as no decision has been made yet about its future. Up to S$72,000 is available for each participant relocating abroad for work. https://vulcanpost.com/913553/singapore-overseas-markets-immersion-programme/

More money news today - turns out there's some cash to be made in industries other than finance and IT, in Singapore: https://vulcanpost.com/913520/singapores-best-paying-industries-2026/

Today I have a more controversial piece, which is available only to paying subscribers. I've reactivated monthly plans, so you can sign up for just S$4.90 per month, or $49 for the full year. Anyway, I'm not amused by these recent developments, which could embolden Ken and his colleagues to double down on their tactics. Here's what I think about them and how they are handled by the people actually running Singapore: https://critical.sg/people-running-singapore-might-soon-give-wp-a-boost-and-the-consequences-will-be-dire/
