Thanks for visiting and leaving your comme...Hi CK,<br /><br />Thanks for visiting and leaving your comment.<br /><br />> High productivity does not equal long hours.<br /><br />I agree with you on the above. That was why I listed them separately in the email to MOM. When I write complaints/appeal letters, I try to put myself in my recipient's shoes and think of what would make them "move". Thus the inclusion of those favourite Singaporean labour-related buzzwords.<br /><br />Yes, I also remember Teamy the bee during my growing years. I can still remember the "Good, Better, Best, never let it rest" jingle that was taught in schools in those days.

That issue is also raised by the Canadian activists when discussing the issues of live-in caregivers (i.e. domestic maids). They call the abusive cases here "modern slavery". Yup, Canadians don't mince their words when there is human rights abuse perpetrated.<br /><br />Cheers, WD.Winking Dollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14045187430930181570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452590323401882895.post-60269920947931701432013-01-09T15:01:23.967-08:002013-01-09T15:01:23.967-08:00High productivity does not equal long hours.
It&#...High productivity does not equal long hours.<br /><br />It's the culture of hanging around because you cannot be seen leaving before the boss.<br /><br />I distinctively remembered in my youth that we had one of highest productivity in the world, with that yellow bee as mascot. Why has it dipped so much?<br /><br />No country should be so dependent on maids and domestic helpers.CKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09317501061794562008noreply@blogger.com
