In the West maybe. To keep up with Playstation example, in my country you can buy 6 new PS5 games with the minimum salary.

Singapore is one of the richest countries in the world. Our minimum salary buys you exactly 0 PS5 games.

I'm not sure that says much either way.

can you elaborate a bit?

https://www.bal.com/bal-news/singapore-minimum-monthly-salar... says min salary is 3k sgd

https://store.playstation.com/en-sg/concept/10000956 says Gran Turismo is 98 SGD

so I am puzzled

The minimum salary is for foreigners on a work visa, not locals.

Yes. No minimum wage for locals.

Btw, Germany also didn't have a minimum wage until fairly recently.
