“最低薪金制能帮助他们” 八旬清洁老妇时薪仅五元!

网友表示,在地铁上认识一名82岁老妇,担任清洁工和洗碗工的时薪为5元,每天工作四小时,生活艰辛困苦,令听者痛心。 Meng Shuen Koh周一(7月27日)在脸书分享了数张Instagram限时动态,讲述他在地铁站和老妇的对话,使用稍微粗俗的言辞表达了自己的感受,更强调最低薪金制对这些弱势群体的重要。 帖文中,他称于上周末(7月25日)在勿洛地铁站认识到这名老妇,老妇当时坐在他的旁边,询问他前往圣淘沙的方法。 网友发现来自三巴旺的老妇是一名文盲,且只会说中文,途中需要在欧南园地铁站转换地铁,基于担心,他于是决定陪着老妇到目的地。 途中,网友就询问老妇前往圣淘沙的原因,老妇就表示自己要到圣淘沙去找洗碗工作,因为听闻该处的薪金比她目前在淡滨尼天地(Tampines Hub)的打扫和洗碗工来得高。 接下来的谈话令网友感到非常心痛,因为老妇告诉他,她现在每天工作四小时,每小时薪金五元,而她希望能够找到每小时10元的薪金。即表示,现在老妇每天收入仅20元! 更糟的是,老妇没有家人在身边,他的儿子过去参加国民服役时出意外丧命,而先生在很久以前就离世了。 如此种种,若没有任何的支援,老妇说她可能会活活饿死。 庆幸的是,她目前和两名友人同住一单位,他们都付了房租,而老妇也表示,自己努力缴付更多的租金。“但是这很难做到,她的工作没有提供免费餐点或交通,每天20元的收入在减去三餐费用后,所剩无几。”…
