If Poh Koon actually said: “Our healthcare workforce is the lifeblood of our healthcare system, and the work that they do is critical in protecting the health of our society,” during the debate on his ministry’s budget. And…
“We must maintain the salary competitiveness of healthcare staff against the overall market to attract and retain quality talent.”

Does anyone perceive that Dr. Koh had thereby delivered the scholastic apex of academic deliberation? Ah Low and Ah Seow also know some how lah…

The pertinent issue sheeples would rather want the answer to is:
Why has only S$2 billion of our Medisave funds for the last three to four decades been released to contributing Singaporeans for their healthcare expenditures – when the Pappy government has actually collected just over S$100 billion in those many years??? Surely our nurses and doctors could have been paid a better wage since twenty years ago!

MOH will also expand efforts to bring in mid-career joiners by increasing capacity under the professional conversion programme for healthcare professionals.ST PHOTO: KUA CHEE SIONG

PUBLISHED10 HOURS AGO…
SINGAPORE – An estimated 56,300 public healthcare workers – including nurses and support care staff – will get pay bumps over the next two years, starting in July.

Nurses will see increases of 5 to 14 per cent in their monthly base salaries, while other healthcare staff, such as allied health professionals, pharmacists and administrative and ancillary staff, will get pay rises of 3 to 7 per cent.

The Health Ministry (MOH) will also increase funding support for salaries at publicly-funded community care organisations in order to ensure that wages in this sector remain competitive. This will benefit another 20,800 staff.

In announcing the pay increases, Senior Minister of State for Health Koh Poh Koon spoke of how the Covid-19 pandemic has shown Singapore the importance of maintaining a resilient core of healthcare workers.

“Our healthcare workforce is the lifeblood of our healthcare system, and the work that they do is critical in protecting the health of our society,” he added during the debate on his ministry’s budget.

“We must maintain the salary competitiveness of healthcare staff against the overall market to attract and retain quality talent.”

However, doctors and dentists will not be included in the pay rise as their salaries were last updated in 2019.

Senior Nurse Clinician Seri Sastika told The Straits Times: “2020 has been an extraordinary year, and with the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, our mission to care for our patients has never been clearer.

“We are delighted by the thoughtful gesture, initiated by the Government,” added Ms Seri, who works at the National University Hospital.

Nurses had received pay increases of between 5 per cent and 20 per cent in 2014, following recommendations by the National Nursing Taskforce.

Their pay was increased again in 2015, as part of efforts to make the profession more attractive.

Allied health professionals, pharmacists and administrative and ancillary staff last got pay rises in 2016….

In his speech, Mr Heng had lauded those in the industry for their hard work and dedication, and noted that the sector will grow as ….”Unquote.

Did he meet the Devil?

Bro, the KEY to the VAULT was held by the bast**d now dead when the wooden piece of shit took over the baton “IT does NOT include the KEY”…

After stepping down and elevating the rising son…the KEY was then handed to the “Useless Son” by the bast**d ensuring only The Lies will OWN it with the Grandson waiting in the wings??? especially NOW with the Jinx making her presence felt on FACEbook

KJ estimates $2,600,000,000,000 plus Sg land value. That means every Sinkies has a million dollars in the reserve.

This is about right, considering that the gov “cheated” every CPF member off a million or two, by earning high investment returns and returning insulting “interest” to members.

There are many estimates, but who really knows how much is the reserve.

We know for a fact that MPs don’t know. It’s comical and ridiculous that MPs can kpkb and claim the gov has no money when they know nuts.

Do ministers know how much is in the reserve? Normal run of the mill ministers surely don’t know. Top secret. No need to know. Just follow the other MPs kpkb no money.

Do presidents know? They retire before the 56 man-year or 100 man-year work can be completed.

Do prime ministers and deputy prime ministers know? My guess is that Heng, Goh, Teo, are in the dark. Top secret. No need to know. Just kpkb no money enough already, right?

So who really knows the answer?
