EP pay increased, employers need to pay more. WP levy increase, and if company not enuf quota, they also jialat. Both ways, company jialat.

So companies employ with higher pay, expect 1 person to do 3 person job. Make every cent worth. Employee jialat.

End of the day, gov wins. More levy or tax, more foreigners in Singapore.
