Abstract

In this presentation, Professor Lim Chong Yah revisits his original proposal for “Shock Therapy II”, paying particular attention to the need to have a pause for three years for the very top income-earners with a view not to slide into “unconscionable salaries”. He also outlines the need to consider the introduction of minimum wage, should NWC’s quantitative guidelines fail to exit workers with income less than $1,000 a month in two years’ time.
