Hi Friends
Many displaced Singaporeans PMETs have been forced to work as taxi drivers, property agents, insurance agents, financial advisers, remisers, tuition teachers, etc. Their jobs have gone to foreigners for good. Is this what the pap called progress? Shame on the 60% of Singaporeans who voted for pap. They are traitors to the nation! Hope they or their family and friends will lose their jobs to these foreigners!

Subject: Singapore to recruit another 60,000 Indian PMETs in 2011-Times of India
So you people can't complain after returning them with 60% of your votes. They will never change.

According to the Times of India, Singapore has emerged as one of the world’s largest hiring markets this year which offers “opportunities” for Indians.
It is reported that Singapore expects
to hire over 300,000 mid to senior professionals in 2011 of which 20 percent of this ‘talent’ will be from India. These Indian ‘talents’ will fill positions primarily in banking, hospitality, technology, manufacturing, oil & gas, healthcare, mining and textiles industries.
Some multi-national banks in Singapore apparently recruits more than half its staff from India, though these jobs can easily be done by Singaporeans with a degree or diploma.
Jayanthi Y, a HR manager said:
“Singapore today offers a never-before opportunity for Indian talent. Its proximity is an attractive element, while salary is the biggest attraction . Professionals receive 4 to 5 times what they are paid in India.”
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong promised during the election to “manage” the inflow of foreign workers. It now appears that the PAP has not intention of stopping the inflow at all.
Two weeks ago, PAP de facto leader Lee Kuan Yew sounded an ominous warning to Singaporeans:
“Please remember: We still need 900,000 foreign workers on work permits.”
Like in the past, these Indian expats are likely to be offered Singapore PR and citizenships by the PAP regime in double-quick time and get recruited into grassroots organizations and the PAP itself,
an example being YPAP leader and new citizen from India Sinha Shekhar who lives in a condominium while subletting his resale HDB flat for rental income.
The growing number of new citizens in Singapore will surely dilute the voices and votes of native Singaporeans in the future and we may soon see PAP candidates from India or China who have never served a single day of NS be fielded in the next election.
