Reconsider 5-day week?
February 04, 2009 Wednesday, 09:14 PM

MORE free time did not result in more babies, so people should go back to work on Saturdays.

"But I hope they will work as hard as they play"

Declining productivity? Our GDP had been increasing yearly until the recession came. How is productivity declining when our revenues is increasing.

Dear Nominated MP Loo Choon Yong,
Your suggestion i totally disagree for it, giving birth is nothing to do with having 5-day work. Most importantly working in 5-day job there are many reason behind, first is for worker to have more time spending time with their loves one and family and lesser day of working can encourage worker to perform better. Life is not just about working non-stop. I find very ridiculous people don't consider having children, then got to come out a new measure to stop having 5-day work? That's not the way to solve thing. My opinion is the living enviornment and society, owning a child is not a easy task. Even I'm just 23 i already have a thought of not having any child in future.

Nominated MP Loo Choon Yong is a lousy doctor, lousy businessman, & now he has shown everyone that he is also a lousy MP. LOL!

Loo Choon Yong is a nominated MP, technically speaking not a MP.

Not sure though whether NMP are taking any salary?

The 5 day work week did not work coz the 5.5 days of work got condensed into 5 days. You just do the same or more work (with longer hours per day) in less number of days. How did this dumbass figure that people had more free time?It takes people time to relax and get their sanity back. This arse defuinately has not taken the trains or buses at peak hours, Plubic transport is stressed to the max adding to stress to and from work. This *** is getting paid millions from tax payers.He should loose in the next election. An absolute prick.

XIIIblackcat,

A person's "standard" must be accepted by the Government (PAP) before he or she can be NMP.

Technically, he should be better than the opposition MP.
