Security Guards Left Out Of Pay Rise Exercise - The Real Culprits Responsible.

An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:

Once again it came as a bolt from the blue for the poor underpaid and over-worked security guards in Singapore.

The much heralded pay rise for these people was crueely cut off by a statement from the Security Companies Association of Singapore which declared that giving these underpaid and over-worked modern-day slaves any pay rise would be producing a backlash against the companies and increase the costs.

Are the poor security guards (modern day jagas) to be blamed?

Security has become a very hot topic all over the first world nations ever-since 9/11 the Twin Towers were attacked.

Security guards are meant to be there to forestall any attempts by anyone to wreak havoc on our vital installations.

Paying them "peanuts" may only increase their chances of being ready baits that can be "bought" over by sinister hands with ulterior motives.

On the other hand, paying them well will increase their self-esteem, keep them away from temptation of bribes and make their job more meaningful.

A happy and contented security guard will surely give off his or her best.

Now even cleaners are better off then guards in terms of pay and other benefits.

Why are we in such a straits?

Who are the real culprits responsible for such a sad state of affairs in Singapore?

Please discuss and offer your valuable views.
