And another key to higher income is to reclaim high value blue collar jobs from foreigners.
It is time to change perception of a blue collar job and even offer incentives for Singaporeans to take up blue collar jobs.
Many high value(much higher pay than serving customers at counter) blue collar jobs in construction and marine industries are currently taken up by foreigners.
I like some of your ideas:
1. The key to higher wage is still productivity.
Yes - it also applies to the ministries - 1 person, several roles.
2. > And another key to higher income is to reclaim high value blue

You look at China and Australia, the cherry, they keep the good deals for themselves. The greencards or PR, china says " > US $2M up...
3. U hire a FT, u grow a team of Singaporeans to build skills... 1 to 3 ratio.
4. No more PR unlimited - if u want PR forever, go home... or pay higher tax, higher levy, premium healthcare...

Today's minister have a serious lack of foresight. Under-planning in hospitals, under-sized transport, stubbornly refusing to build homes for new families, and allowing more FTs to come in.
Now they try to clean up the problem... but the most difficult is the FT not so easy to send back
