普通人一位 : To be honest, nowadays, many companies pay more than 1700. Speaking for nearly 70 employees in my company, all earn over 2000. Additionally, I think there should be a quota system like in Singapore where the proportion of local to foreign employees is 4:1, which can strengthen the hiring of local workers in companies.

Although it may not show immediate results, it is a feasible long-term plan.

HYGWE : this maybe difficult if your business is very labour intensive with low margin.... otherwise its just small increase in total costs vs total profit
