Workers must upgrade to stay relevant: MOM and SNEF


Singapore must press on to become an efficient economy that creates good jobs and sustains wage growth, said Manpower Minister Tan Chuan-Jin in his final May Day message. Mr Tan will assume the role of Minister of Social and Family Development on May 4.

SINGAPORE - The Republic must press on to become an efficient economy that creates good jobs and sustains wage growth, said Manpower Minister Tan Chuan-Jin in his final May Day message.

While a dwindling labour pool demands that Singapore grows with higher productivity, Mr Tan - who will assume the role of Minister of Social and Family Development on May 4 - said this is a condition "we cannot run away from as a mature economy and society" but fate "need not be pre-determined".

One strategy is for workers to stay relevant. To do so, he called on unions to encourage workers to take charge of their learning, and for companies to develop their employees.

Meanwhile, the Government will be "the key enabler" by providing infrastructure and resources such as the recently announced SkillsFuture initiative aimed at upgrading workers, Mr Tan said.

It is also exploring other ways to help older workers build up their retirement nests, besides the additional Special Employment Credit and Central Provident Fund changes. These ways include higher salary ceilings and increased contribution rates for older workers, said Mr Tan.

The call for workers to upgrade their skills was also made by Dr Robert Yap, president of the Singapore National Employers Federation.

In his May Day message, Dr Yap said that new technologies will put "many old jobs at risk over the next decade". But apart from "just investing in technology and expecting productivity to improve", an acceptance towards new ways of doing things is required so as to reap gains. "The tripartite partners will have to work together to help to identify skills," Dr Yap added.

Mr Tan said: "Singapore's economic and social progress over the years did not happen by chance, but through the concerted efforts of workers, employers and the Government."

He added that the tripartite model "has served us well, and will stand us in good stead to tackle future challenges".

Why does the politicians like to play with "balls"? It seems like playing with both hands while talking is mandatory to be successful in politics (Must be playing with 2 hands, one hand don't count)

Here are examples, starting with our honorable prime minister:

And our Deputy Prime minister

Tharman Shanmugaratnam also want to play ball:

If Tharman plays, Shanmugam will not miss out:

Khaw won't miss out too:

Who can forget Marlboro play with neh neh:

SG is about making money the easy way, eg set up ERP gantries, levies on foreign workers, $ from speculations in property, stocks, shares, etc. Use $ to make more $. Skills of general workers don't bring in big $, they r considered as costs n liabilities. We r a society that look down on skills. Anything that is laborious n time consuming is paid peanuts cos we have a big pool of foreign workers to tap on. Upgrade simi lanchiao? So that gahmen linked firms can make $ fr providing upgrading courses? Since technology will reduce the number of jobs, why r we flooding the cuntry w foreign labour?
