It was recently reported on the 21st August 2010 that jobless numbers are on the rise again and close to 68,100 Singaporeans are unemployed.
In reference to [URL="http://www.ahp.mohh.com.sg/index.html"]http://www.ahp.mohh.com.sg/index.html[/URL]
MOH Holdings (formerly known as Health Corporation of Singapore) provides training and employment services to Singapore’s governmental healthcare, such as polyclinics and hospitals.
If we take a look at their webpage, it is cleary seen they are trying to attract foreigners to work in our heatlhcare sector.
And they will be heading to Australia, Ireland, UK and Taipei to look for more foreign ‘talents’.
Why are they not reaching out to the 68,100 unemployed Singaporeans? Surely a small percentage, if not all, would be willing to work in the healthcare industry.
I do not deny that some of the jobs in healthcare, most Singaporeans would not want to do it as it is considered dirty.
But if we take a closer look, some of the jobs offered are Speech/Occupational Therapists, Prosthetics & Orthotists, Physiotherapists and Healthcare Administrators. Is MOH Holdings trying to tell us out of those 68,100 unemployed, not even 1% are good enough for such jobs? Even on their website banner, they are proud to display testimonials from foreigners who got the jobs in Singapore through MOH Holdings.
Do we really need such organisations that blatantly and openly ignore Singaporeans to import foreigners?
Why do our own Governement-run stat boards and ministries turn a blind-eye to such an act?
Other examples:
[URL="http://worksingapore.com/"]http://worksingapore.com/[/URL] - a site run by Jobsfactory and Jobcentral, which are WDA approved Job Directories.
[URL="http://www.mom.gov.sg/foreign-manpower/working-in-singapore/Pages/default.aspx"]http://www.mom.gov.sg/foreign-manpower/working-in-singapore/Pages/default.aspx[/URL] - our own Ministry of Manpower touting Singapore to Foreigners, even when our Prime Minister has promised to ’slow down’ the number of foreign workers.
It is quite unfortunate that the sacrifices of born and bred Singaporeans, continued to be ignored in favour of foreigners in the name of GDP growth and the current ruling party’s ridiculous fat salaries and bonuses.
