Beware the CECA - trade pact between India and Singapore

[Thick Face Black Heart]

The CECA is a comprehensive trade pact that PM Lee Hsien Loong signed with India in 2005. This trade pact allows Indian professionals free and unfettered access to the Singaoporean PMET job market.

Being a signatory of the CECA, the PAP, if its forms the government, is legally bound to adhere to its terms even if it makes changes to its manpower and foreign labour policies. That means that even if foreign manpower quotas are tightened, Indian professionals will still have free and unfettered access to our job market under the original terms of the CECA pact.

A coalition government tomorrow to rescind the contract.

It's okay if Tiger no longer gets to fly to all destinations in India. I don't care.

It's okay if DBS no longer gets to open branches in all states in India. I don't care.

It's okay if Capital Land no longer gets to build shopping malls in all states of India to collect rupee. I don't care.

there are already over 1 million foreign shit skins. this is the basic contract to sell the country to shit skins, sell all the PMET jobs in banks and IT to shit skins, sell citizenships to shit skins in exchange to get the shit skins to vote for them. the country should change name to Shitskinpore

What's scary (and unknown to many) is that apart from guaranteeing access to our job market for all Indian nationals in 127 stipulated occupations, there are no quotas imposed. That means a 'Singaporeans first' policy proposed by the SDP – and in practice in the US and the EU nations – cannot be implemented because it will be a breach of CECA terms.

Even less well-known is the fact that Sim Ann was deputy director of trade at MTI when the CECA was signed in 2003.

That's why we must vote in more opposition and not give the PAP a blank cheque to continue screwing S'poreans.

Well said. If this is not reason enough to vote in the alternative, I don't see what will be a reason.

Calling it a trade pact is misleading, because it also covers the movement of labour.

A misleading pact signed off by a MISleader Lee Hsien Loong.

Sadly, i think only SDA and some other small-timers brought this up during rallies , and and i'm afraid none during party TV broadcast. Maybe they were scared of getting sued.

Something so big went down and it was not brought up in parliament? No debate, no MPs telling their constituencies? What a fuckin joke?

Just image it's CECA signed with china i can bet ppl would bring it up. I don't know why but it's just so fucking ridiculous and senseless but shit skins get away with this.

 

[The_Hypocrite]

A wasted opportunity for the oppositions...n no reason to get sued as stating the facts.

They have more sense than to create a diplomatic incident by naming India in an open forum….only the toothpick prick does careless stuff like that.

 

[eatshitndie]

any trade pact with india is unbalanced on day one as india's primary export is not basmati rice nor cowdung but human excrement, oops correction, expertise in portraying themselves as it experts.
