It's very inspiring to read abt young fresh grads aspiring to top the salary range but what the government did is exactly to counter such aspiration, just in case the "base cost" for companies goes uncontrolled and MNCs / SMEs started to divest in other lower cost countries for cheaper labour. It'll be a real economic disaster if Singapore spins out top fresh grads that demands very high salary but with no job offers....

Always weigh your oppourtunity with the other side of the coin.
