If you thought the debate on the hot-button issue of wages was as heated as it could get, think again.
Reform Party Chairman and minimum wage advocate Charles Yeo recently shared some extremely strong words for those on the other side of the fence, declaring those who oppose a minimum wage policy “need to be shot” in an Instagram Story on Tuesday (Oct 13).
Yeo, a criminal defence lawyer, clarified today (Oct 14) that his remark was “a figure of speech” and not meant to be taken literally.
The 30-year-old’s initial comments on Tuesday were part of a series of Stories expressing support for Leader of the Opposition and Workers’ Party (WP) Secretary-General Pritam Singh’s call for a $1,300 universal minimum wage to be implemented.
In a Facebook post on Monday (Oct 12), Singh had suggested that the universal minimum wage be implemented in parallel with the government’s existing Progressive Wage Model (PWM).
