When investors start leaving Singapore, not only the foreign workers follow, many Singaporeans will lose their jobs, opposition parties don't tell you this. When foreign investors are here, they are not only doing their business here, not just setting up shop, hiring people, they are involved in many other economic transactions in Singapore.
Singaporeans should set a broader sights and not to be fooled by the opposition parties. It is not about losing 1 or 2 companies, it is not about losing a few workers, the impact on Singapore is more than just losing the few companies.
That's the typical PAP reply tactics. Suggesting that we'll kill the whole forest if we prune the roses. We will probably be in bad shape in the long run if FDI decreases but we can countered that if we are able to build up local enterprises and businesses. Now if the PAP is really worth their salt, this would be a piece of cake for them. They've been having a holiday for far too long but relying solely on FDI to sustain Singapore's economy.
Your statement is based largely on the assumptions that there are absolutely no talents in Singapore (that includes yourself you bastard) and companies will leave because they cannot find labor to do the work needed. That is not true at all. Reducing foreigner intakes does not remove all the benefits of setting up business or headquarters in Singapore. Try reducing corporate tax and reducing rent. Companies will be cobbling to invest here.
