Workers’ Party MP questions effectiveness of Job Credit scheme

'Between waiting three months for $900 cash rebate from the Government versus saving $7,500 immediately by retrenching a worker, which choice does the Government think a struggling employer will make?' he asked.

He then suggested the scheme will simply benefit profitable companies that have no intention of retrenching workers.
