He began his speech by recounting an experience he had at Changi Business Park. Ang had gone there prior to Covid-19.
When he entered a lift, he noticed that the "well-dressed" people around him were "apparently foreigners" and speaking in a language foreign to Ang.
Ang said it was the first time he had felt "like a foreigner in my own country".
Why though?
Ang questioned why this might be, especially with recent assurances that nearly six in 10 in the workforce are locals — a number which Ang acknowledges is among the highest in the world.
Ang then pointed to the high number of Employment Pass and S-Pass holders.

"When I checked the MOM’s statistics, I noted there were 193,700 Employment Pass holder or E-Pass holders and 200,000 S-Pass holders as of December 2019. Why are there so many?"
