Kenny Ho Accused Of Being A Cheap Boss For Paying Workers At His Factory Between S$735 And $1150 A Month

Recently, Jin Jia Zhuang’s factory shared a hiring ad for quality control officers and researchers aged between 18 and 50. Both men and women are encouraged to apply and there are no academic qualifications required. The only condition is that applicants are “healthy in heart and mind, prudent workers and will act according to their leaders’ instructions”.

Successful applicants will be paid between 3,500 yuan (S$735) and 5,500 yuan (S$1150) a month, and will be offered complimentary food and lodging on top of their salary.

Employee perks include performance bonuses and free access to the laundry room, table tennis table, basketball court and badminton courts. They will also be paid extra if they work overtime, on weekends or on holidays.

Chinese netizens have turned their noses up at the ad, saying that the pay is too low and calling Kenny a scrooge whose “heart has been corrupted by greed”.

However, there have been some locals who have defended Kenny and told these naysayers off. They explained that most factories in the area only pay their workers 2,000 yuan (S$420) a month and that Jin Jia Zhuang’s employee benefit package is actually pretty attractive.
