<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->I REFER to Monday's article, 'Better-educated jobless will get help'.
Many Singaporeans do not realise [COLOR=_______]how fortunate we are when the Prime Minister announced another strategy to counter the most severe post-war recession by extending help to retrenched professionals, managers, executives and technicians (PMETs) via various training and development schemes with generous incentives.[/COLOR] To my knowledge, none of our neighbouring countries can do the same.

=> Which country betrays its citizens like what his beluved Ass Loon does?

But this move risks creating a 'moral hazard' in behaviour among better-educated citizens. Some PMETs may have thought good times would continue indefinitely and so that crucial decision to upgrade oneself in good times could be put on the back burner.
Accessibility is not a legitimate excuse as our many world-class institutions of learning provide a comprehensive range of Continuing Education and Training programmes designed to meet the manpower needs of the economy.
Not all individuals are equally capable of making sound decisions in their own interest but we would normally attribute this to the less educated among the workforce. Thus there is always a primary role for government intervention with this pool of workers to enable them to remain relevant to the changing economic and technological landscape.
The same cannot be said for the better-educated PMETs who had previously enjoyed heavily subsidised tertiary education in the polytechnics and universities before they entered the workforce.
They were rigorously educated and trained, made aware that continuous learning is a must in this fast-changing world, and on top of that equipped with the necessary core skills to do so.
This unprecedented recession justifies the help initiatives for PMETs. However, when things go back to normal, we need to have a correct perspective on the balance between state and individual responsibility for self-development.
PMETs must take greater responsibility and adopt an active learning approach to life and calculate and implement the learning needed to enhance one's self-reliance. Dr Edmund Lam

Who is this Dr Lam(pa)? Continuous education and learning even after graduation ?! Is he from public sector or private sector employee? I know public sector top civil servants can easily take 5 weeks away from duty to upgrade themselves in french cooking lesson but that cannot apply to private sector employee.

HOw many local PRIVATE employers are so kind and generously willing to allow their employee to take early leave to attend night classes for upgrading? If we encourage workers to keep learning and studying even during their tenure of employment, will employer not starts complaining that Singaporean are not willing to commit Overtime work and decided to recruit foreigners instead?

We have our govt on one hand preaching work-life-balance and on the other complaining we are not working hard enough. Talks are cheap, but when it comes to action it became a different story in real life. We always complain about Singaporean not meeting demand but ignore the cruelty of this society: No matter how hard we worked and learned, foreigners will continue to throng this tiny island to depress our wages. Tell us what worth is left for Singaporean to struggle unless govt do something about it? Wake up your stupid idea Dr Lam.

What an idiot this guy is for parroting the refrain of retraining.

In the working world, it is not training that counts but experience. For example, if you have been working for many years and over the years, you picked up certain skills but did not have the opportunity to use them, you will lose out to a foreigner with less work experience but has the relevant experience with those skills.

Most of the time, you depend on your employer to upskill you and provide you with opportunities to utilise those skills. Otherwise, you are just competing for entry-level positions for those skills since you are unlikely to have the necessary experience. This means that upskilling may not be a worthwhile investment for most professionals unless they have the full support of their employers.

With the labour market flooded with workers, there is no incentive for employers to invest in their employees as they can easily find people with the required skills from the market. This means that if you have been doing A all the time and even if you know that A is becoming obsolete and you start training on B, it is easier and cheaper for the company to find someone new with some experience on B than to redeploy you to do B.

This situation implies that it is not skills that matter anymore but politics in order not to be shown the door. Probably the reason why Singapore's standards seem to be dropping by the day.
