PRIME MINISTER Lee Hsien Loong has called on employers to think again before axing jobs.
Retrenchment should be 'the final choice rather than the first choice', he said, especially now that the Government has schemes in place to help companies cut wage costs.
Speaking on Monday after visiting pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) on the first day of Chinese New Year, PM Lee said bosses should take a longer-term perspective and not just look at the immediate future.
