There seems to be many ongoing job fairs nowadays. What I have noticed is the number of foreigners (Yes, and that includes PR, as long as it is not Pink IC) fighting for jobs with the local Singaporeans.
You can see the frustration of the Singaporeans, going for the endless interviews but no jobs available for them, men and women with commitments, mortgage to pay, school going kids, aging parents to take care.
But when you go to the restaurants, supermarkets, hospital, foodcourts, etc, you see PRCs, Filipinos in those jobs,
In fact, I heard on the radio today doing an interview at the job fair being held at Suntec, when one of the interviewees, a Filipino commentted that he is prepared to accept a lower pay as he feels that the pay he gets in Singapore, is definitely better that what he is getting back home.
If that is not an indication of depression of local wages, I do not know what is.
Assuming an election is going to be call in 3 to 6 months time, will it still be 66.6%?.
