Manpower Minister Gan Kim Yong became the latest PAP leader to indulge in generous self-praise after launching the new Human Capital Leadership Institute to spearhead Singapore’s drive to become a “global talent hub”.
Mr Gan claimed that the institute will encourage more innovation for businesses in Singapore and will support companies in nurturing talents into future leaders.
“Top local talents will want to remain in Singapore and global talents will want to come here because we have the best educational infrastructures to help them develop their leadership competencies and further their careers,” he was quoted as saying in Channel News Asia.
However, Mr Gan did not provide any evidence or statistics to substantiate his claims that Singapore is an attractive place for global talents.
According to a Gallup poll done last year among China’s college students, their top three emigration destinations are the United States, France and South Korea. Singapore was not even featured among the top five.
Mr Gan’s speech appeared to reinforced the message sent by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong during the May Day Rally last week when he called on the understanding of Singaporeans to accept a higher inflow of foreigners.
Unlike other developed countries which implement measures to safeguard the livelihoods of local workers, Singaporeans are exhorted repeatedly by PAP leaders to compete directly with the cheap foreign workers they are importing into the country while remaining “cheaper, better and faster” at the same time.
“Employers will hire only the best candidates with the right skills and attributes. The workforce needs to upgrade its skills and knowledge in order to remain competitive and marketable,” Mr Gan said.
With no opposition in Parliament or independent trade unions to fight for their interests, Singaporeans will have no choice but to listen to Mr Gan and “upgrade” their skills to remain “competitive and marketable” never mind the fact that their wages are being undercut by the cheaper “global talents”.
