What makes people from some other countries like Singapore or Korea to Indians. Very simple, I saw majority of these people questioning their government for their rights, and going with the real world. In India, we tend to demand others for our 'stuff'. We pay taxes through our nose, but we do not question the bad quality in public schools, but send our kids to private schools. Then strike for pay hike; same with health care. Thanks to political parties who just treat public money as their own money, the vicious cycle is going on forever.
I saw this news from sakshi, where a school teacher is complaining that the current CM is not doing his job, and not increasing the pay. The expenditure is
I saw this news from sakshi, where a school teacher is complaining that the current CM is not doing his job, and not increasing the pay. The expenditure is
- Rent: 4,500
- Daily necessities : 4,000
- Milk: 1,500
- Rice: 2,000
- Education: 10,000
- Medical: 2,000
- Clothes: 2,000
- Gas: 400
- Utilities: 450
- Travel: 1,000
- Entertainment: 600
- Cable: 150
- Mobile: 500
- Vegetables: 1,500
- Others: 3,000
- Total: 33,600
First of all this is a totally made up story IMHO. Anyway, still one question on why on earth a school teacher who is getting paid by the tax payers want to send his/her kids to private schools and spend 10,000 every month?
If the justification is that the quality is bad, then why can't we close down all these schools and remove the teachers? That would save pretty good amount for the tax payers.
The expenditure is equal to $550 per month which makes it on par with many other asian nations monthly expenditure.
Average Malaysia school teacher makes $ 1,124 month. Are we trying to say that our cost of living, or living standards are higher than Malaysia which warrant such salaries ?
