'In the next months, I expect the number of foreigners working in Singapore to shrink...In releasing foreign manpower to their home countries, we must however maintain a sense of fairness and responsibility. Whatever the economic conditions, some of our foreign manpower do stay on as PRs or citizens. Competition for talent is global and will intensify once the economic crisis blows over. We all stand to gain through improvements in the stock of Singapore's human capital. In other words, we still cannot afford to ignore our longer needs.'
MRS JOSEPHINE TEO, assistant secretary-general of National Trades Union Congress

These ministers and mps don't know what is competition. When the election comes around i hope the AP will let them have a taste of what competition is.
