One expects more of Jamus Lim.
But his maiden performance in Parliament was an anticlimax to the hype of election and the expectations that followed
He came to Parliament to make the call for a minimum wage but has no idea what that wage should be.
He seemed completely unaware of WP's call for a $1300 min take-home wage. Does he think this is the right level? Is it too high? Too low? What's the impact on SMEs? Etc?
He does not know of any country with a minimum wage that has a lower unemployment rate than Singapore but he has 'reams and reams of studies' that support his claim of the impact of a minimum wage.
Reality is not an academic discussion.
