Pay hike

WITH the effort of transforming clean governance, our parliament had agreed to review civil service's salaries and increase them so that government staffs are able to focus on their respective job. The new civilian government acknowledged that current salary is not enough to survive daily expenses now. The news follow a good news of limited sanction lifted by US. The government has gained trust gradually both from international community and our people. As a human being, our people might know what is good and what is bad. At the same time, the government introduced the draft law of anti-corruption. The international watch-dog ranked Myanmar as a worst law country to protect FDI that is not a good sign to encourage incoming foreign investment companies. Anyway, we believe that this momentum won't be derailed as long as our leaders are willing to keep political and economical reform. Exceptionally, our rich natural resource and cheap labor will become magnet to those investment companies from outside world.

If we are supposed to go on the way of development, we have to raise our people's lifestyle. Without income rise, it'ld be hard to see immediate impact. Raising wages to civil service will be the best form of pumping money to the market so that their spending power become better. It'll certainly help our cooling economy and investor will find it reliable to domestic 60 million people market. Hopefully, this good news will draw unlimited cheers from our people as well as critic. May our people able to live their lives as comfortable as possible under the guidance of wise leaders.
