I was reading the forum on Saturday and find this particular contribution “civil servants should be seen to earn their bonus” by Miss Lee Soon Chin very amusing and entertaining. She was asking if all civil servants are paid the same three months plus $220 for good performers and 3.3 months plus $220 for better performers. What criteria did the civil service used to distinguish “not so good” performers from the “good” and “better” ones?
I was actually expecting this from the private sector. After all it was announced that the private sector was not going to use the government bonus as benchmark this year. Thus a majority of Singaporean might not be getting a big fat bonus this year even though the economy growth was better than last year. Did it sparked off some envy and jealousy? You be the judge yourself.
So I came up with my own 3 reasons why civil servants did not deserve the 2 months bonus.
What other possible reasons could you think of? Let’s share.

The only reason why you can still be comfortably seated in your chair blogging about 3 reasons why they shouldn’t be paid, they made it possible when some of them paid with their lives.
they deserve the bonus becos they’re the ones who spent huge effort to …
1. removed stone chairs and tables from void decks to prevent old folks fr gambling
2. suggest more surcharges for more prob solving
3. transfer u around the world of stat board before u get an ans to anything
4. make the state board more hi tech by using “press 1-10″ call automation and websites… and who cares abt the old folks
btw.. it’s 2 mth (including aws).. and if they do not work round the clock.. will u get prompt respond from police??
and the pay of civil servant is much lower than private sector..
I believe those who have worked hard deserves the 2 months pay in recognition of their hard work , especially for those work that you all have mentioned. But my heart sinks whenever i think of those who does nothing to deserve such pay outs especially when normally they do nothing at all. I came from the civil service and just simply can’t stand those people.
