Nope. One reason is retirees whom paid their bills but not having income should have a chance to vote.

While i think the numbers show there are a lot of low wages workers and Singapore is heavily dependent on them, my sense is that the numbers are also distorted because if you consider SME where family members are employed by the company and charge everything to a company and "draw" a low salary...I wont be too surprised if this group has consist of 200- 500k people.
