if we havent already realised, the papies r good at creating problems instead of solutions. they create problems that even they themselves cant solve, and each time opposition offers a sound solution to curb the problems, they'll shoot it down telling horror stories to frighten the electorate.
they say if we freeze influx of foreigners, SMEs will go bust?? as if the sky rocketed COEs didnt create strains for SMEs, causing increased logisitics costs, and then the costs transfered to end consumers. and since logistics costs have spiked, it only makes business sense to reduce wages, and naturally, the low paying jobs wont make ends meet for any typical singaporean, and so creates a need for cheap foreign labor.
on the contrary, if the operation costs werent so taxing for business owners, and when the salary is reasonble (suffice to meet living expenses), naturally more locals will take the jobs, hence reducing dependancy on cheap foreign labor.
so, if we see the bigger picture, we know who's the culprit for creating the financial strains & burdens, and we know the culprits dont have a solution to date. and their 6.9m population will only add to the problem, not solve it.
