hilscreate says:

dun u think they need a union more then us ?
Anonymous says:

hilscreate says:
they won;t do anything that will jeopardise that
if can, u think other industries won;t start already ?
only pilots have that
even doctors dun have
Anonymous says:
but that's also what's causing the split between the rich and the poor
hilscreate says:
do u really think having a union will change that ?
Anonymous says:
it won't change it drastically, but not doing anything about it will only make it worse
i mean, cleaners dun have OT...we OT like crazy
hilscreate says:
nah
cleaners get paid like $700-1k a month
their pay actually decreases over the last few years
because precisely of the import of cheap labor
if u actually have a union
and the cost of that noodle became $12 instead of $3
do u think people will be happy
u will get mass revolt

"revolt erupt not because of absolute poverty but in response to the unequal distribution of the benefits of modernisation." - Jonathan Eyal
right now in singapore
the unequal distribution is to the poor
which is still a small percentage

really...i thought the middle class is the worst hit
hilscreate says:
there is still a huge middle class
that is too afraid of losing
of the uncertainty
its not so bad to an extend that they will sacrifice it for a revolution

a stall holder set himself on fire
Anonymous says:
it was cause mubarek extended his term
hilscreate says:
no
well yes
but its an accumulation
the stall holder cannot tahan
being oppressed by the police for constant brides
bribes
and being treated like dirt even after giving them that

ok
hilscreate says:
it was the tipping point
it gave the people courage to say
enough is enough
even malaysia in their last election
also had crazy results
because the many had enough
that the few held all the power
and there was no prospect.
In Singapore
do u think the middle class will give up their mortgage and their car so that they will potentially be jobless and homeless
they have too much to lose
haha
