100,000 new jobs this year
By Kor Kian Beng
MORE than 100,000 new jobs will be created this year, with many going to Singaporeans, if the economy grows by 7 to 9 per cent as forecast, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said yesterday.

But some proportion of these job openings have to be filled by foreigners on employment and work passes.

Said Mr Lee: 'I hope Singaporeans will understand this. If we want the buoyancy and bonuses which go with high growth, then we must accept a temporary inflow of foreign workers.'

Foreign workers are needed as they enable the economy to grow rapidly during an upswing and cushion the impact of a downturn on Singaporean workers, as was the case last year, he added.

And given the projected strong economic growth this year, 'a higher inflow of foreign workers is unavoidable'.

But in the longer term, he said Singapore will cut back its reliance on foreign manpower as it makes a basic shift in economic strategy, following recommendations from the Economic Strategies Committee in February.

Oh ya, 100,000 jobs and jobless rate hit 2.2%. Such election talk and smoke screen are nothing new. Even if there were jobs, especially in the IR sectors, majority will go to foreigners. Didn't we heard about 5000 pinoy secured by Arroyo, mass recruitment of Taiwanese into Singapore, placements of recruitment ads in Malaysia and China by courts, bus operators, and GLC-linked companies and also various local ads seeking pinoy, indians, and whatnot. To add insult to local wounds, LHL warned us that import of foreigners is inevitable. Is that a good news on labour day?
