Teo Ho Pin: Not “unreasonable” for the two CDC staff to receive eight months of bonus
Translated from Sin Ming Daily, 15 March 2009
According to an earlier report by 938live, a writer by the name of johnlaw2012 posted on the Channelnewsasia forum on the first of this month that two employees of Northwest Community Development Council received bonuses of 8 months last year, including the 13th month bonus.
In reponse to queries from radio958, Northwest CDC Mayor Dr Teo Ho Pin clarified that the pay of CDC staff is determined by the People’s Association.
He said: “The economy only start to worsen during the last 3 months of 2008. The performance of the economy during the first 9 months is still not bad. We have to look at the matter from the entire year’s perspective. Hence, it is not unreasonable for CDC staff to receive 8 months of bonuses.”
The People’s Association did not confirm or refute the rumors circulating on the internet. Earlier, PA also said that the salaries and bonuses of its staff are within the guidelines set by the National Wage Council.
