Finally ..MOM

Yesterday Ch8 Frontline, many graduates were jobless and forced to take lower pay. Some decided to go overseas for further study.
The side effect of this cuntry having too many foreigners is forseeable, some MPs even felt quite lost as to how to help our local talents.

LKY said 2nd tier ciitizens of other countries also can be PRs of pap singapore ... so sinkees are worth less than 2nd tier "talents" ...

work permit for FT all on hold or either rejected. Majullah Singapapura!

Where's the proof?

For SMEs (large numbers) & tiny businesses e.g. shops & stalls they are very dependent on certain employees. Such as Malaysian chefs. Management staff & owners will be pissed if work permit renewals are screwed.

How does this affect the majority of citizens. More of them are out of jobs than the SME's, stall holders and the likes put together. It's the numbers game for elections.

Many work permit holders have Singaporean relatives, family members, or BF/ GF relations with local voters. They are pissed.

Still I do not see this translate into the majority of Sinagporeans.

Co-workers and friends with work permit holders can be pissed either they sympathized with work permit holder friends or their work pressure increased after losing their co-workers.

I had Malaysians working for me but in one of the earlier recessions, the MOM (known as Ministry of Labour those days) rules for retrenchments were for foreigners to be retrenched first. I understood the rationale then so by slowing the approval of work permits now, where is the problem?

See?

Society is more closely knitted than you think. You can not simply imagine the friends and family members of work permit holders are just only foreigners. Fucking COW for example was an FT, now he is your fucking minister of HELL!

If you read the posts in this and other local forums on topics concerning FT's or work permit holders, then if you still hold the belief that there is a closely knit society between Singaporeans (especially the retrenched) and the foreigners, I could be turning blind.

You have limited the scope of your argument to just Malaysians as the only foreigners here and you refer to the COW as my minister. Am I right to assume you are indeed a Malaysian?

i dun care what they do, i take the gst rebate go for massage, and vote for opposition.

Good to hear that ultimately you would still vote for opposition. However, it does buy the votes of the 66% and this is why we have been suffering.

Remember, when the PAP gives you a dollar it has in place plans to take back $1000.
