[h=2]SMEs. govt and businesses all ADDICTED to cheap foreign labor![/h]

You don't see SMEs in other advanced country asking to import cheap foreigner labor to grow. 10 yrs ago Google was an SME. 10 yrs ago Facebook was an SME. They don't depend on cheap labor to succeed.

Singapore SMEs that use cheap foreign labor from Vietnam, China, India become no better than the SMEs in those countries - they become same-same like the thousands upon thousands of SMEs there. We want Googe, Facebook not crappy companies doing low end services but hogging our precious space. We want innovative high productivity industries.

Worse is the BIG BUSINESSES using cheap foreign labor - these translate to pure profit margins. Big businesses already have economy of scale and monopoly power why do they need hire cheap foreign labor.

Even more stu_pid are the lucrative casino and banking businesses that acquire license to make easy money why are these allowed to hire foreigners - these special licenses guarantee there is limited competition, hence high profits, why allow the to hire foreigners instead of Singaporeans (with exception of a handful of top management). So stu_pid right, the grants special access to these sectors of our economy, it is mindless for govt not to translate the full benefits to Singaporeans. Which bank or casino will refuse to come here unless they are allowed to employ foreigners? The PAP has something against average Singaporeans to deny them all benefits? This is a govt that does not compete fairly at elections and uses unfair tricks to win such as upgrading carrots - yet it is so eager to subject Singaporeans to unfair and unnecessary competition.

You want to support this PAP govt? They don't even care if their policies and governance benefit you!​

Not addicted, dickbrain. It's just a matter of realism.

This happens when most locals have become liabilities to the country.

I have this perception that the German SMEs start out by supporting larger companies in a specialized, but non-core part of the business. Then they gradually expand their service offerings to other companies over time. Can't have that here if SME owners focus solely on cutthroat labour cost competition. The only innovation local SMEs are capable of is cooking the books for tax deductions.

Now news is splashing all across that Singapore suffered without cheap labor. What i reckoned is that next the rental for all these food outlet may drop due to drop in sales and no one is willing to work in these places with such low pay.

do we have cheap minister or MP ???, since our GOV loved cheap labour so much.

Sinkies are no longer cheap labour. These Sinkies cheapo business that needs cheap labour should ship out, no point having them here if they do not benefit us.
