一个比较简单的比喻：
公司： As the company profit is decreasing this year, rate of salary INCREASE will be moderate.
kcchiew： We still make money what, why u want our salary to decrease?
公司： What I say is the salary increases....
kcchiew： What increase? The increase can be negative!
公司： What I say is you will get moderate increase..
kcchiew： Company makes money, this means I contribute to Singapore GDP, why GDP grows but I kena salary cut!
公司： I never say I want to cut your salary...
kcchiew： What never cut? The rate can be negative.. 公司： I don`t know what to say. You go ask TPL to explain.
Unhappy? Swap places with me

I refer to the statement made by Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew in your report on May 9. I am a professional working in Singapore on an Employment Pass and I come from a nearby country. I have refrained from making any comments to my Singaporean friends in the run-up to the General Election because being a non-voter, I believe I should be neutral. But I am aware of all the issues being thrown about: High cost of living, overcrowding, entry of many foreigners, the hot property market, etc.
My personal view is that the present government, although not perfect, has done very well in comparison to other neighbouring countries, and indeed globally. We see a society here that is relatively safe, stable, has a good standard of living, that prepares its younger generation for the future by having a world-class education system and a thriving economy.
Singaporeans must come out of this complaining, molly-coddled mindset, and I think part of this syndrome is because the efficiency of this society has spoiled them so that they are less tolerant. Please compare this country to where I come from: There is rampant corruption, social injustice, religious and racial bigotry, indecisiveness and opaque governance, to name a few things. The list goes on.
To the unhappy and discontented Singaporeans, exchange places with me. I would only be too happy to make this my permanent home.
