It is more good news for Singapore as more Singaporeans are expected to increase their recruitment in the next few months ahead, according to a Straits Times report today.
A survey done by global recruitment firm Hudson shows that 54 percent of 564 top executives at multinational corporations interviewed are expected to hire staff in the face of the improving economy.
The sectors most keen to recruit are banking and financial services, health care and life sciences, and manufacturing.
The percentage of foreigners who will be recruited to fill up these vacancies remains unknown, but it is unlikely to be far off from the 33 percent they currently occupied in the workforce.
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said during his recent May Day Rally that up to 100,000 jobs may be created, a proportion of which will go to foreigners.
He called on the understanding of Singaporeans to accept a higher inflow of foreigners as the economy improves which appeared to contradict his earlier statement at the beginning of the year that the government will “moderate” the influx of foreigners.
Due to the PAP’s liberal immigration and pro-foreigner policies, foreigners now make up 36 percent of Singapore’s population, up from 14 percent in 1990. Of the remaining 64 percent who are citizens, an increasing number are born overseas.
Unlike other countries, there are no measures put in place to safeguard the interests of native workers who are implored to compete directly with the cheap foreigners as the government is unable to “shield” them from global competition.
According to a recent Wall Street Journal editorial, the relentless influx of foreigners has depressed the wages of ordinary Singapore workers, increased the cost of living and led to an overall decline in the standards of living.
Singaporeans better brace themselves for another “wave” of mass immigration as the PAP continues to import foreigners to shore up Singapore’s flagging birth rates as well as that of its own support base.
