While many of the jobs will be going to Singaporeans, some of these jobs have to be filled by foreigners on employment and work passes.
Said Mr Lee at the May Day Rally: "I hope Singaporeans will understand this. If we want the buoyancy and bonuses which go with high growth, then we must accept a temporary inflow of foreign workers."
