Dear Pritam Singh, your cleaners are among the 32,000 earning less than $1300 a month

It's taken too long to roll out the Progressive Wage Model. 32,000 is not a small number. It's simply not acceptable that any Singaporean earn less than $1300 a month.

Thus have WP Chief Pritam Singh argued in Parliament.

"And if we can do something about it in double quick time, let's do it," said Pritam Singh.

Well, among the 32,000 earning less than $1300 are the cleaners from Mr Pritam's Town Council.

There is something that WP can do in double quick time and reduce the number of workers earning less than $1300.

And that is, pay their cleaners according to the PWM. $1442 a month.

Pritam Singh complained that the Progressive Wage Model had taken too long to be rolled out. Yet, his cleaners are not even paid according the the PWM already rolled out for the cleaning sector.
