Serious It's Official! Sinkies Keeping Their Jobs While Foreign Talent Are Retrenched En Masse During Covid Recession! Oppies Happy Now? Majulah PAP!

[JohnTan]

SINGAPORE - The number of workers in Singapore, excluding maids, plunged in the first three months of the year as the Covid-19 pandemic disrupted economic activity.

The drop in employment of 19,900 was the sharpest quarterly contraction since the severe acute respiratory syndrome (Sars) outbreak, when employment fell by 24,000 in the second quarter of 2003.

But the decline last quarter was due to a significant reduction in foreign employment - local employment still grew at a modest pace, according to preliminary data relased by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) on Wednesday (April 29).


Unemployment rates rose in March, compared with December, while retrenchments rose quarter-on-quarter as well, though both figures remained lower than the peaks seen during the global financial crisis in 2009.

The ministry did not provide a breakdown of the exact number of employment change for locals and foreigners, nor of retrenchments.

Manpower Minister Josephine Teo noted during a media briefing on Wednesday (April 29), however, that the impact of Covid-19 restrictions was probably only felt from February onwards, whereas in January businesses were still active for the Chinese New Year period.

The ministry said in a statement: "Labour market conditions are likely to worsen in the upcoming quarter, given the sharp fall in demand globally as well as in Singapore as firms adjust to circuit breaker measures."

Typical lies by the PAP. In a few months it would be obvious that Sinkies are the one fucked by the PAP.

This proves that contrary to the claims of the dishonest opposition the PAP does put Singaporeans first.

The only foreigners that are encouraged to work in Singapore are those which create jobs for Singaporeans.

This shows that the PAP is the best and has the interest of all Singaporeans at heart.

Stupid JT,

There is no data showing the number of foreign talents being entrenched is more than local worker's, how you come to this conclusion?

It's not my conclusion. You are welcome to petition the Pofma office for a Pofma against the ST or MOM for making such a claim.

Pappy cocksuckers will fabricate anything to make their master look good.

Majulah PAP!

I am not surprised. Pandemic has saved Singaporeans by and large. Look at all job applications in the market, 80% employers now specifically mentioned 'NO WORK PASSES ALLOWED to apply for jobs"!!! Bosses all 'LAO SAI" and suddently became Xenophobic when their foreign workers are quarantined, and cannot return after several restriction and ban in Singapore and foreigners' home countries.

Employing Singaporeans are now viewed as safer bet to sustainability and progress for Singapore, with or without PANDEMIC! Good Gracious!!!

There are lies and there are statistics.
