Dodgie Georgie Yeo had a hand in this document. Compare 10 years ago and now, see how PAP hung lamb head (foreign "Talent") but sold dog meat (foreign TRASH).

"Attracting Talent vs Looking After Singaporeans" (aka "Our GDP is sliding fast, How to import Ftrash to boost GDP but PRETENDING to look after Sinkies")

Some excerpts from the document (had to stop at these, blood pressure going to burst my artery):


Who Are Foreign Talent?

11. Talent refers to both foreigners and locals. Local talent is valuable but with a population of three million, the Singapore pool is not large enough when the competition we face is the world. Our local pool must be augmented with the best skills and talents that can be tapped globally. Just as the brooks enrich the sea, foreign talent enlarges our human resource pool, strengthens our competitiveness and increases our social vitality. <-- Really? 10 years later, we have foreign TRASH and our social fabric is tearing apart thanks to these ftrash!

Major Concern 1: Will I Still Have a Job?

43. We also sensed that Singaporeans were worried that employers might prefer to hire foreigners. Some Singaporeans felt foreigners were willing to take on unpleasant jobs and to toil harder, such as working over time and doing shift work. During the economic downturn, they were particularly worried these foreigners would be willing to work harder for less, putting pressure on them to work longer hours at the expense of a quality life-style.​

Some Focus Group participants felt that each time they got closer to the “Singapore dream”, the goal posts would shift, and be moved further away. They felt that the government policy to bring in foreigners was aimed at making them work harder. They perceived some of the “talent” being imported as not real talent but “cheap labour”. Our committee noted that this concern was greatest not with the top professionals or low-end workers, but the middle band. It was the “ordinary” white and blue-collar jobs that Singaporeans felt they could do just as well that the threat was felt most. The more highly-paid Singaporeans also tended to feel more secure about their jobs. Less than half of those who earned under $1,000 a month felt secure about their jobs, while 77.4% of those who earned more than $4,000 thought so. <-- 10 years later, EVERYBODY is getting screwed as PAP import foreign TRASH into every economic class and sector! More Good Years huh? More like Jobs for Foreigners, NS for Stinkies!

​

Major Concern 2: Will My Children Have a Place in School?


51. Foreign students will benefit our schools and children. They will raise standards by spurring excellence in our classes. Like foreign talent in our work force, foreign students in our schools are another resource we can tap. <-- Like importing *OVERSIZED*, *OVERAGED* players to compete against local boys? They bring with them new cultures, innovative ideas which can stimulate and broaden the outlook of our local students. Many schools are already observing national days of other countries and celebrating cultural diversity.

Major Concern 3: Second Class Citizens
53. The third key concern was locals fearing that they would be turned into second-class citizens. Some 24% of those polled by Straits Times felt that the government treated foreigners better than Singaporeans. In the Forbes survey, 55.2% thought that PRs have the same privileges as citizens, while a small minority (8.7%) perceived that PRs have even more privileges than citizens. <-- sorry, Singaporeans are now 3RD CLASS citizens! 1) PAP elites, 2) wealthy foreigners, 3) Stinkies!
54. Anecdotally, many felt that foreigners, including PRs, enjoyed benefits without obligations like national service. Examples cited included: foreigners not having to pay CPF which makes them “cheaper” to employ, foreign talent enjoy housing allowances, JTC’s scheme providing housing for foreign talent, and subsidised education and healthcare for PRs. Other than complaints about inequity, locals also felt unhappy that many foreigners were no more than birds of passage, who would not hesitate uprooting from Singapore the moment things turned bad. <-- Isn't it so today? And how convenient to blame unhappy Singaporeans as mere 'birds of passage'. 10 yrs later most of us 'birds of passage' are still in Singapore suffering from your fucked up Ftrash policies!
55. Some Singaporeans felt that foreigners were granted permanent residency too easily and that PR status had all the privileges of citizenship. There were suggestions that the criteria for granting PR should be made more stringent and the PR should have certain obligations to reflect commitment to Singapore. Some suggested that foreigners who wished to continue working in Singapore for an extended period of, say, more than 10 years, must decide to become PRs and then citizens. Otherwise, they would enjoy the benefits of working and staying in Singapore, without the corresponding duties and responsibilities. <-- so its been suggested 10 years ago but PAP hasn't bothered implementing it? Wanted to wait and see which way PRs will swing at the ballot box?

57. For Singaporeans, we believe that there are clear benefits of citizenship which are not enjoyed by the foreign resident. We discuss this later in the report. <-- Yeah right, see Kojak's "Summary of Benefits of S'poreans vs PRs" and see for yourself how much 'benefit' your stupid pink IC is worth over PR!
