> I was shocked to read that the "top tier" of foreign professionals (representing below 7 per cent of the cohort of Employment Pass holders) could obtain a personalised employment pass (PEP) with a mere annual salary of S$34,000 under current rules.

> Even our hardworking cab drivers can make more than this, and low-income Singaporeans make about S$1,000 per month (S$12,000 per year). Clearly the MOM has not kept pace with wage developments in Singapore.
