And 5 years to reach senior engineer is if you can survive all the politics, only the outstanding ones get promoted. I have so many colleagues in their 40s and 50s still engineer role. That's life in office politics.

No that's not true. Market rate is between 4k to 5k. Go check out jobstreet and jobsdb.

How do these companies compete with gov engineer jobs which pay 4-5K alr for fresh grad?

how does engineer ranking works ?
in mnc, seems to be graduate engineer > engineer > senior engineer > associate
where as local company (singtel/st engineering) seems to start from associate (entry level) ?? in SP, engineer > executive engineer > senior engineer > principal engineer > director ?

Not true, our engineering sector SMEs hire some 80-85% of fresh grads per cohort and talents also can emerge from there.
