Asking them to give all the Workfare in cash with no CPF is impossible. They will reject it out of principal if nothing else. <br />That's why I think of the min wage. At least with that, the worker can get CPF.Ghosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05160118520611754510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-297647034431552481.post-90387083822377939502011-01-14T17:53:03.695+08:002011-01-14T17:53:03.695+08:00To 1st post,
