Sinkies won’t give two hoots until their rice bowl is threatened. Teehee...

Now is not rice bowl, but mobile data and wifi. We have it too good here in singapore.

If there is no distinction between local and foreigner, why you collect foreign worker levy.

If there is no distinction between local and PR, why there is difference in CPF contribution rate for Year One PR , Year Two PR.

I like that area, especially jogging around the reservoir.

Georgie boy and his running kakis do their evening jogs there too.

He knew if the true statistics date were to be revealed.

The ministar’s pay cost the PAP dearly in 2011 GE. What can the number of jobs going to PRs and FTs do?

 

[steffychun]

did he say a “wedgie”?

For that matter, if there is no distinction, why not get foreigners as ministers at half the price but with double the intelliegence?

 

[Confuseous]

You know they don't know what they are talking about when they resort to statements like these:

Chee Hong Tat: Pritam Singh failed to acknowledge ‘comprehensive & clear’ employment data provided

(if this clown has taken the trouble to look at the questions carefully and the answers given by his equally dumb-
ass minister, he will not say that. If so, why then did his dumb fellow minister CCS said that he will provide the
answers later, during his parliamentary response?

Singapore must avoid the “politics of division and envy”

Does he even know the real meaning of the phrase and its relevance in his response to Pritam in the context of
the proceedings?

Obviously non citizens are now majority and must cover up.

His parent knew him prophetically and named him accordingly.

Chee acknowledging that it will "create wedge" is as good as admitting to Pritam's assertions...Pritam should have asked him to elaborate what wedge.. anyway, it shows Chee's inexperience in dealing with real-world situations, cocooned too long in SAF where it's a top-down, one-way communication.

 

[batman1]

These PAP Ministers are really childish,got the data,hide in the pants,don't want to share the data with others,scared others will take credit .
Just imagine,we paid millions to the cho-bo-lan ministers and they cannot even come out with the data presented in EXCEL format immediately,somemore
so many civil servants working the nitty-gritty not the ministers,they are really incompetent and negligent .They better go and jump into Bedok reservoir.

SINGAPORE: Singapore must “firmly reject all attempts to drive a wedge between different groups" within society, Senior Minister of State for Trade and Industry Chee Hong Tat said on Wednesday (Jan 8).

“Let us not go down the path of other economies which are struggling with the politics of division and envy,” he wrote in a Facebook post.

He was echoing Minister for Trade and Industry Chan Chun Sing’s position after Mr Chan answered Workers’ Party chief Pritam Singh's questions in Parliament on Monday about the distribution of new jobs among Singaporeans and non-citizens.

On Wednesday, Mr Chee said: " In growing our economy, we constantly balance multiple trade-offs, including the extent to which we bring in foreigners to complement our local workforce."

What matters most are the outcomes for workers, he added.

“On this, the results are encouraging – Singapore remains globally competitive in attracting investments, unemployment has remained low, wages of Singaporean workers are going up and good jobs continue to be created now and, in the future,” the minister said.

Singapore has achieved these outcomes by staying united and working together, he added.

Permanent Residents (PRs) in the workforce have made contributions to Singapore, both economically and socially, even though they receive lower subsidies and fewer benefits than citizens, Mr Chee said.

“More importantly, many PRs are family members of our fellow Singapore citizens, as Mr Singh would be aware since the Workers’ Party has joined PAP MPs in advocating for foreign spouses and children of Singapore citizens to be given priority for Singapore citizenship,” he said.

NOT PITTING SINGAPOREANS AGAINST PERMANENT RESIDENTS

On Monday, Mr Chan had said the "ultimate competition" is not pitting Singaporeans against PRs.

"It is about the team Singapore comprising of Singaporeans, the PRs and even the foreign workforce competing to give the Singaporeans the best chance possible," Mr Chan had said.

Mr Singh had filed a parliamentary question asking for the number of new jobs filled by Singaporeans, PRs and foreigners for each industry covered by the 23 Industry Transformation Maps (ITMs) rolled out progressively since late-2016, and repeatedly asked for a breakdown.

Minister of State for Manpower Zaqy Mohamad provided the numbers to Parliament.

Mr Singh also asked if the Government would be revealing more concise manpower data based on citizenship status “either by way of parliamentary question or by the government on its own accord”.

“If the Government’s approach is no, we are not going to provide that data, can the minister please share that detail with us here because it is pointless for us to keep asking for the data if the Government is not going to provide it,” Mr Singh said.

"I don't think we have anything to hide,” Mr Chan replied. “We have just shared the data.”

Mr Singh then asked for a breakdown of Singaporeans and PRs in PMET jobs, leading to Mr Chan questioning the motives behind the questions.

“I am always very cautious about this constant divide: ‘Singaporean versus PR’. The insinuation seems to be that somehow the Singaporeans are not benefitting,” he said.

This CHEE HONG is a pretty smart guy. Never worked a day in the private sector.
He spent his prior life in army licking all over the place, asking very good questions
like "how high" when told to jump by his superiors.

He is also parliament's #1 Por Lampar - LHL passed him an iPad in recent parliamentary session,
and after reading his "speech" he handed the iPad back in full view of the cameras. THAT is how
good a mouthpiece he is. THAT is why he was named CHEE hong.

 

[jw5]

If the PR is taking the Sinkie's job, then of course the Sinkie is not benefitting. Are Chan Keechiu and Tat Kaypoh Chee Hong idiots or are they taking Sinkies for idiots? The answer is probably yes for both questions.

“I am always very cautious about this constant divide: ‘Singaporean versus PR’. The insinuation seems to be that somehow the Singaporeans are not benefitting,” he said.
