Manpower minister sounds alarm on Singapore's cost competitiveness
ECONOMY | Staff Reporter, Singapore

Cheaper competitors are becoming better.

The city-state's competitiveness in offering products and services could soon erode, Manpower Minister Lim Swee Say warned.

In a speech at SPF Productivity Conference and Exhibition 2016, the minister stated that Singapore needs to improve its productivity for the economy to grow more healthily. He argued that if the country's productivity gains continue to lag behind wage growth, its competitiveness will progressively be eroded.

"Imagine: if we ever allow our cheaper competitors to become better than us, one day, they will be cheaper and better than us. Likewise, if we ever allow our better competitors to become cheaper than us, one day, they will be better and cheaper than us. We should therefore never allow this to happen," the minister said.

The minister said in the past five years, GDP growth has dropped from an average of 4% between 2011 to 2014, to 2% in 2015, and less than 2% this year. He cited two reasons for this low growth.

"First, cyclical slowdown in the global economy has dampened demand for our products and services in the short term. Second, structural transition in our local workforce will redefine our growth capacity in the long term," he pronounced.

Mr. Lim argued that even though local labour force is still growing, the rate of growth has dropped sharply, from 4% to 2%, towards 1% by 2020.

He cautioned that this could even stagnate in the next decade.

"The only workable and sustainable solution is to up our productivity gain," he said. "With better education and skill profiles, those entering every year are looking for jobs that are different from those vacated by those who have left the workforce."

He furthered, "What this means is that economic transformation is important - not just because they will bring about higher productivity for the economy to grow more healthily - but because they will bring about better jobs and better wages for our people to grow better in their careers.

I've warned my serfs, both local and foreign, that if they don't up their productivity from 2017 onwards, I may consider replacing them with cheaper and better foreigners.

You will lose more money because non-PAP politicians are mostly corrupt and dishonest. They will officially take a much smaller salary but behind the scenes siphon of millions or billions every year. Just look at Africa and most Asiatic countries.

if sinkies had talent maybe we could send them to europe to learn how to make chocolate and watches,then instead of being coolies and farmers we can become chocolatiers and watch makers like the swiss,belgium and french.

then we can make things like ten thousand dollar tourbillon watches or $10 toblerone bars.

the swiss and french have been making watches since the clock was invented so they got a few hundred years headstart on us.

you and zorro lim not only suck cock , but like to talk cock often.

in real life everything has a limit , especially in the area of human endeavour ,
up to a certain stage the result taper off .
due to physical psychological physiology limit of human.
that s y pilot need to rest after every flght.

cheaper and better foreigners ?
cheaper ? perhaps , as they may be willing to accept a lower salary.
as in the case of a foreign doctor working in polyclinic
Within the time limit of 8 hours and under the mental stress and fatigue ,
how much increase in productivity can he contribute ??

but in what ways are these foreigners better ?
they can work 12 hours a day ?
you hire a degree holder to work as a production worker and expect the productivity to increase ?

Many older Sporeans have been brought up(brainwashed) to follow the law, rules, regulations,..... of the authorities. So it will require deprograming them. Doubt the PAP want this because when that happens, people will start questioning the PAP.

but most of economic growth doesnt come from human labour,it comes from technological advancement,since the industrial revolution in the 18th century when human beings shifted from a agricultural subsistence economy.thats when gdp skyrocketed,living standards rose quickly,and the population exploded because for once each economy could support a far greater population than a agricultural based economy could.

It need not be said - to be better. This has to be in the mind ALL THE TIME. But, to be cheaper? What for? You don't become better by being cheaper. You be more efficient, more innovative, more flexible, more industrious, more diligent, more everything. But Cheaper??? That's stupid. Mr. Minister, put your money where your mouth is, why don't you start asking for a lower salary. If you are true to your word, your performance will be betterer than your peers!

Cheers!
