Resilient S'poreans praised
By Sue-ann Chia
PRIME Minister Lee Hsien Loong gave credit on Sunday to resilient Singaporeans for helping to keep last year's unemployment rate low.
He applauded their willingness to take on any available job to support themselves and their families, and noted that government programmes helped citizens keep jobs in what was one of the worst economic crises to hit Singapore.
'What gives me the most satisfaction is that through all these measures, we were able to keep our unemployment rate quite low and people could stay in their jobs,' he said at a hongbao presentation ceremony in his Teck Ghee constituency.
'So that apart from the help the Government gave them, the vast majority of Singaporeans were able to look after themselves, look after their families... and be assured that when they woke up in the morning, they had work to do.'
The end result was that unemployment here was kept relatively low. 'It went up a little bit, but now it has come back down,' he said.
The latest quarterly jobless rate dipped from 3.4 per cent last September to 2.1 per cent in December, according to Manpower Ministry figures released on Friday. This was 'really very low, almost as low as it was before the crisis', he said.
