The pandemic causing bad business
Many shops or companies closed
In the last 2 years fighting Covid19
The battered internal economy
Though export markets gaining points
But the people are suffering economically
As EPF will tell us of our funds withdrawal
To tide over our predicament
The shops and companies need to survive
But does the back door care to improve it?
It came out with a minimum wage of $1,500
How can businesses stay to fight?
Our FDI has left our shores
Possibly to other neighouring countries
Offering better ways and cheap labour
Here our economy still struggling to get free
Of course the union leaders will welcome it
In all negotiations every year wages must increase
It is their jobs to milk the companies for their members
I had my share of arguments during collective agreements
Now people want jobs to survive
They aren't thinking of minimum wage
The back door just wants to push away problems
By increasing it companies may have to think again
Close shop or migrate
Our neighbours will welcome them
Because they too need to feed their people
Here we seem to push them away
