During recession. employers must rid LOCAL SINGAPOREANS becos they are more expensive to maintain.
In reality, It is the foreign workers who will enjoy big time.
And during recession, it is the best time for employers to sack local singaporeans.
Did you know PAP hates local singaporeans and so do locals hate PAP?
Almost all employers want to rid locals, it is the right time to fake a recession.

What do majority of retrenced Singaporeans do? Stay on the same spot and cry father, cry mother, blame the cows, blame society and gahmen !!
We see many big corporations down sizing & shedding staff at lightning pace. No surprises that the foreign firms based here would soon be pulling the plug on some departments too. Hence, what ah-Say is saying is as good as farting thru the oral organ, instead of the rectum.
I'm sure the 4mth maternity leave is also not appreciate by employers too.

</noscript>"At this moment, there is no sign yet of rising retrenchment," Lim Swee Say, Secretary General of the National Trades Union Congress was quoted as saying by Channel NewsAsia.The congress is the largest labour union in Singapore. "However, as the downturn continues, we can expect realistically that the retrenchment may pick up," said Lim, who is also a government minister. Warning that Singaporeans' wages will also be affected, he said: "Let's accept that there's no guarantee our real wages will not go down. In fact, they are likely to go down but it does not mean the workers will be on their own." But he said the government and labour movement will, if necessary, support "the lower-wage workers and lower income households through non-wage measures".
Singapore's government eschews welfarism, which it views as bad for work ethics, and instead provides aid for the poor through vouchers and monetary incentives for low-income workers who stay employed, in a scheme dubbed "workfare".

There's no point giving people $500 GST rebates, when you take away $5000 away in tax increases and rising living costs through healthcare, utilities, public transportation, and yes, GST increases.
One hand giveth money away, the other taketh it away. Workfare is nothing more than ad hoc, superficial 'economic remedy' and is simply pathetically small. As Sen. Obama had said about McCain's health care plan as nothing more than a bait and switch, so is the workfare and GST rebate programs locally.
why cannot? gahmen your father is it?
