The survey is expected to take up less than 15 minutes to complete.

3) The survey is conducted under the Statistics Act (Chapter 317) which ensures that the information you provide will be kept strictly confidential and used only for the purpose of compiling aggregates statistics. However, the Act also requires that you furnish the necessary information.

Why would the government need the statistics for the local unemployment issue? It is already shown in plain sight when retrenchment cycles are announced all over the country. People will be retrenched and that is a fact.

The questions in the questionnaire are like the ones you will find in the job interview application forms. Plus, a few questions on whether you are keen in upgrading yourself or not. But no mention of anything about financial assistance from the government. So the whole fiasco is a waste of time and 'paper'. http://www.fuckwarezone.com/img/forums/styles/hwz/smilies/laugh.gif;pv6fedd93166a15ba5

My dad even wants to throw the entire envelope down the rubbish chute. My dad is extremely angry with the government right now. http://www.fuckwarezone.com/img/forums/styles/hwz/smilies/laugh.gif;pv6fedd93166a15ba5

Walao, Singaporeans really like to complain alot. I was retrenched in July last year and did the survey in January 2009. Now they sent another followup survey to that survey though I was not out of job since July last year. If the threadstarter spend the time to complain on HWZ CAL to complete the survey, he would have already completed the survey.

The survey is to help the govt to better understand the retrenched people's situation. Doing the survey is basically doing SG govt a service. It is not the govt's fault that the threadstarter was out of job. I took 3 mins to complete the survey after stating I am studying part-time course http://www.fuckwarezone.com/img/forums/styles/hwz/smilies/biggrin.gif;pve55dbb92b154d7ad ; apparently going for retraining or further studies satisfy the SG govt. If one is still jobless or did not go for re-training despite employed, prepare to spend 10 - 15 mins to complete the survey.

I love my country but I do not love this government. http://www.fuckwarezone.com/img/forums/styles/hwz/smilies/smile.gif;pvbacf3e80f36d109b

I completed the survey form and mailed it just now out of fear. I do not want to be 'troubled' since it is stated in the cover letter that the Act requires you to complete the survey questionnaire and submit it. http://www.fuckwarezone.com/img/forums/styles/hwz/smilies/frown.gif;pva7c53785704671aa

I do not know about that. But I prefer the government uses its resources in helping the poor people rather than wasting money and paper on the questionnaires. The situation is not getting well and many people are still affected.

Now I still do not understand what is the government going to do to help the less fortunate. The Job Credit Scheme does not seem to be working 100% well here. <!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

yes agree that the govt doesn't do enough to help the retrenched but conducting surveys would enable it to have a more accurate understanding of the situation. it could then plan its policies accordingly.

Hurting the retrenched workers' feelings by doing stupid surveys is purely unethical. MOM can't help, just leave them alone. Already these retrenched workers' have a hard time tiding with hard times. Companies retrenching and hiring cheap FTs is all thanks to the govt. If MOM can't help, just keep their paper and pen on the table and look for something else to do or go back their head on the wall if there are nothing much to do. Or entertain china workers protesting outside the building by doing some side-show business. What a useless organisation. PUI~!!!

MOM need your feedback to claim credits that you found a job fast after being retrenched. They need to justify their next increment on basis on how fast you can find jobs.

Whether they helped you or not is not one of the criteria. They just need the statistics for reporting purpose.

They want to know how many SINgaporeans are going to sign up for voluntarily Euthanisia, so that, they can import our comrades from China, to replace them...

M.O.M., stands for Maximizing Our Money...that means you SINkies gets the lowest pay, work the hardest, and pay the longest...

M.O.M = Maximizing Our Money...:(

 

[nickers9]

I need all these data to justify the plans that I want to execute early next year.

If all of you Sinkies can find jobs and working just enough to survived in my kingdom, then I will use the media as my propaganda tools to announce my plans for next year.

Since everyone Sinkies had more than enough to eat, more then enough to spend comfortably(even though I know you Sinkies just earned barely enough to survive, but I dont care), I will tell every Sinkies that it is time to increased we PAP ministers salaries by another 100%.

Yes! Every PAP ministers will have their pay increment by another 100% early next year. Which means I also have an increased of 100% too.

Hip! Hip! Hooray!!!! Hahahahahahahaha!

It is not a government that peasants hated and despised, but a regime that only caters to the whims and fancies of the Imperial Family because of a fat cat pay cheque.
