Leong Mun Wai: Today, Foreign PMETs and Permanent Residents account for 25% and 15% of our 1.7M PMET workforce respectively

[covertbriar]

The most important economic policies that have affected the jobs and livelihoods of Singaporeans relate to Foreign PMETs and Free Trade Agreements, in particular the Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA) with India.

Today, Foreign PMETs and Permanent Residents account for 25% and 15% of our 1.7M PMET workforce respectively, making up a total of 40%. This ratio has increased rapidly since 2000 and has caused considerable uncertainties and anxieties.

The Progress Singapore Party (PSP) feels strongly that the time to rebalance the interests of the Singaporeans vis-à-vis Foreign PMETs (defined as all the work pass holders) in the job market is long overdue.

This rebalancing may involve the recouping of tens of thousands of jobs from work pass holders through tighter enforcement of our employment rules, amongst other measures. This will affect a portion of the total Foreign PMETs in our workforce but is a necessary step to create a win-win situation for both Singaporeans and foreign nationals.

The first step in achieving this is obtaining prompt and complete information so as to promote transparency and to eliminate prejudices. All of which is in the spirit against xenophobia and racism.

Ending CECA is very, very easy. Just vote the PAP out.

Ending CECA is very, very easy. Just vote the PAP out.

I agree.
But, a very significant number of Singapore citizens must take steps not to vote for PAP candidates.
I was watching a you tube video, of a very ugly and small eyes Minister, who said that he owed the team of hardworking civil servants a duty, to speak against the falsehoods raised by one of the political parties.
With respect, I disagree with this honourable Minister.
I believe that the leaders and the team that negotiated the CECA betrayed and sold out the Singaporeans.
The government has to rescind CECA and take all the necessary steps to ensure that Singapore employers hire Singaporeans first, and ensure that HR Managers are not foreigners (especially not Indian Nationals).
I cannot understand the reason for so many Indian nationals are working in Singapore, granted PR and Singapore citizenship.
For your future and the future of your children, please consider very carefully who you vote for.
Unless, you are like me, who emigrated very shortly after graduation from university.

More reliance on foreign workers...they never learn from the Covid fiasco ?

In fact real FTs from the West and EU don't even considered work in Singapore becos of PAPimp want cheap IT workers for their PAP companies...

Did u see any thing good come from Loong? The failure of PAP did not attract real good FTs IT doesn't make Singapore a great city of innovations.

Flooded with CECA dirty ahneh IT workers make you sick... no better than India...

Ending CECA is very, very easy. Just vote the PAP out.

How can sheep vote out smart leaders??

 

[mahjongking]

voting is a fucking waste of time and smokescreen,
just kick them out.....NOW

 

[batman1]

Ending CECA is very, very easy. Just vote the PAP out.

Thank u for the short and sharp solution : Vote out the PAP.

 

[Devil Within]

Ending CECA is very, very easy. Just vote the PAP out.

Very difficult. The majority, if not all, of the new citizens, will vote for PAP. So, even if 51% of locally born Singaporeans voted against the PAP, PAP still takes the majority votes.
