I have heard many comments that Singaporeans are increasingly being
employed in MNCs, banks and even local companies as part time staff or
on contract. If they work in a bank, they are not bank employees but
engaged by employment agencies and subcontract to the banks. On the
other hand the full time employees of the banks are foreigners. Is this
true? Anyone got any statistics? MOM has any statistics on this or did
not know?
At this moment there are smokes but not sure how big is the fire. If
this is true and in significant numbers, then it is injustice to our
citizens, it is a crime against our own people to allow this to happen
in our own country with the victims being our own citizens. This is
atrocious, irresponsible if true.
It may be difficult to get the statistics as no one would want to know.
Everyone would be looking the other way and the poor daft Singaporeans,
the victims, are hapless and afraid to raise their voice. For the
foreigners, there are better reasons to keep quiet and happily go about
exploiting the daft Singaporeans. They would not protest, dunno how to
protest, afraid to protest. Some may be silly enough to think that this
is normal, the new normal, where foreigners first, Singaporeans last.
Since it is difficult to get enough statistics to verify this sad
development, maybe it is time for those Singaporeans working part time,
as contract workers, to stand up and be counted. Gilbert Goh and his
blog can do a survey or data collection and build up a case on this, to
prove if it is true or false, how serious is this problem. Our
journalists and reporters may want to do an investigative journalism on
this issue to see how serious is the problem. This is doing national
service to help fellow Singaporeans.
Someone must be concerned about the welfare of Singaporeans, about
whether Singaporeans are being mistreated, taken advantage of,
victimized in SINGAPORE, the home country of Singaporeans where
Singaporeans are the rightful owners, sacrificed to do National Service
to fight, defend and die for this country. Why are there so many
Singaporeans that are unemployed and under employed when so many
foreigners are in full employment here?
If this is a big problem, it is injustice to Singaporeans and must be put right immediately.

My son with an IT degree, Ngee Ann IT diploma and had worked last seven years with three MNC, was was laid off three months back.
Send and interviewed a dozen times past three months and now finally landed a job as contracted by an employment agency.
On contract basis. So it is not true that Singaporeans with even their Institutions of Prestige in Polytechincs and Unis are second class to "graduates" of Bomaby Unis and also their forged degrees???
Just judge yourselves and await the time when your children will be in the same positions with contract jobs like pariahs to the so called FOREIGN Talents or Trashes.
Singaporeans being employed through agencies to be sub-contracted to employers as contract staff, while foreigners are permanent staff? Not possible in Singapore. If this is true, then there is definitely injustice. How can this be possible? In your own country and having done NS, Singaporeans must come first. I read the unemployment for Singaporeans is around 3% in the 2nd Quarter of 2018. Not a healthy state of affair considering there are so many FTs in Singapore. Sad for Singaporeans FTs are causing unemployment in the country.
Yes, it's true Redbean. What to do ? Just VTPO lor. Most employer wan only foreigners for their 2-3 yrs Loyalty , & renew after that. Sinkies r there just to support the short fall, it's sad employment scene here. Many PMets become Grab or private hire drivers, delivery panda, screwty or cleaners..
not because I like to pour water early morning.....
no point kpkb kpkb and kpkb over this.....
so what singaporeans are contract or part time staff, foreigners permanent staff?.....
remember, at the last GE, the massive 70% did OK-ed.....
why cry now.....what can you do now.....only lan-lan.....
you asked for it.....yes! you asked for it.....
another fast growing MEGA trend in sg is.....Singaporeans stay in .....FTs stay in .....!
Sg is like that liao.....like that now.....
possible to change the trends?
dream on................................
Rb, Recently my Son went for interview. After passing all their tests and through HR, he was shortlisted for face interview. The interviewers have two persons making up of two junior staff in the large Organisation for first round. The more senior woman from China can hardly speak fluent English and the man who is more junior looks like a sinkie. The interview is supposed to be 20 to 30 m max as scheduled but the China woman grilled him for one hour to humiliate him in the process for one hour. Plus she got all her facts wrong! At the end few days later he received a rejection e mail from HR. From my experience, my other kids also went through many of this shit experience but largely suffered in the hands of Indians.now all my kids are working overseas with good jobs and pay. I told them not to come back.😛
Sad for Singaporeans to be considered second class in your own country. Employers will prefer FTs because FTs are easier to control. If they do not perform out they go. They take fewer MC or they do not get call-ups for NS. Whereas for Singaporeans, employers must have very solid justification for retrenchment. The problem is not with the employers because to the employers it is the bottom line that matters in the end. The problem lies with the Government policy in allowing so many FTs into the country to break Singaporean rice bowls. Well if you want to change this, you know what to do in the next GE.
@ RB
I think this is a MOM problem.
In order to obtain work permit/ employment pass etc. employers have to guarantee employment and (if I’m not mistaken) put up bond or surety.
Therefore foreign-sourced labour has to be given permanent positions, whereas in the case of hiring locals, employers are not constrained by such requirements.
You can find faults with extremists like Nigel Farage of Britain’s UKIP or with Trump, but there is no denying they are 100% nationalistic and are willing to take measures which fly in the face of this ridiculous “diversity ideology” and stand up for their people.
We have a government of questionable loyalty to the people who voted them in, and who pay their wages to do a job to “protect the national interest”.
Hi Anon 9.08
I feel for you. You have paid your taxes and you have devoted your life to Singapore. Now your children have become " quitters " working overseas. You have rightly advised them to remain overseas. Job security is not good in Singapore so they are better off in foreign lands. Air travel is becoming cheaper and easier, your quitter children can come home to HOTEL Singapore every year for visits.
Anon 9.06
Good, when the 69.9% of the Dafts's children had to do part-time contract work after spending a fortune on their children's education and upbringing, then it be an eye opener for them.
As for Anon 9.08. You think the Foreign Trashes don't take MCs meh?
Don't talk thru your arses.
In fact, Singaporeans and their children are more disciplined been brought up these ways with hard work ethics than those hard core street wise evil manipulators of their Rough Streets Mentalities of their Homeland.
@9.08am
Dont feel sad for Singaporeans to be considered second class in your own country!
No need to!
Just look around you. There are many many happy and smiling faces around!
So why need to feel sad!
Anyway, do you seriously think there are enough Sgeans to do a Sg Harapan at the next GE?
Not easy not easy lah!
Hi Anon 9.08, who did you vote for in the last GE. Were you one of the 70% or the 30% ? Just wondering.........
Hi
Why is Singapore like that now?!
Why Singapore is like that now?!
Why Singapore is like that now?!
Why?! Why?! Why?!
@ don’t put all your eggs into a Singapore basket:
Recently I had a conversation with a couple of friends whose kids recently graduated with their Masters and were looking to come back to work, and earn “big bucks”.
Being the usual bright and cheery bearer of hard truths, I told them “do not waste time with Singapore lah. Your kids bosses who make the hiring decision is likely to be a foreigner”.
My opinion for their kids’ cases was to apply to cuntries with full employment and tight labour markets like the US, London, Japan, Australia...what have you. Forget about Singapore. Better to go to those places and start at the bottom as interns if necessary and blast their way forward.
For a young graduate, the most important thing is becoming employed in their field. Doesn’t matter if it starts at the bottom. In those cuntries there is less “bullshit”---if you create value, and make yourself valuable, you will earn accordingly.
Singapore used to be like that---a pure meritocracy. Now even the labour market is politicised, and not in any good ways.
Young people should take risks. The urge to “find a job in Singapore” is essentially based on the ideas of SAFETY and FAMILIARITY. Sorry to say, those ideas will SABOTAGE YOUR CAREER if you make decisions based on them.
"If they work in a bank, they are not bank employees but engaged by employment agencies and subcontract to the banks. On the other hand the full time employees of the banks are foreigners. Is this true?"
Yes. Very true. Not fake news.
Also, the headhunters from the employment agencies who placed us Singaporeans on 6-month contracts with the banks are all expatriates.
To clarify, 1) I switched from voting pap to opposition since 1998. Yes we visited our kids 4 times a year and they come back 4 times a year plus with technology, we don't really feel that they are not around us. So we are quite happy they stay overseas and are treated as talent earning even higher salary than in sg.😀
Anon 9.54 am
WHY??
Need you ask??
Who did you vote for in the 2015 GE???
Here lies your answer. QED.
Hi 1007am
Aiya....nothing new about that lah!
SG is like that liao.
You don't know meh.
SG is like that liao.
Employment agencies are owned and run by foreigners. Job interviewers are foreigners.
Singaporean job seekers are at the mercy of foreigners, controlled and decided by foreigners.
What kind of stupid country is this?
Of the 5.64 million residents in Singapore, the number of Singapore citizens is 3.47 million, according to the annual Population in Brief report, released on Sept 27, 2018.
The number of PRs is 0.52 million while that of non-residents totalled 1.64 million.
So together on this tiny island state there are 2.16 million foreigners fighting with Singaporeans for jobs and scarce resources like water - with employers favoring foreigners.
Singaporeans, other than the elites that (not who, because I don't consider them humans) control them and suck their money enmass, are sold to foreigners already. Even the strategic national assets, such as power stations, have been sold to foreign countries. Such form of administration and governance are known as cunning treachery, not stupidiy: Selling off the country and people to foreigners to benefit the top 1% of governing elites
Hi 1025am
Sorry. Nothing new! Nothing new! Have been like that for a looooooong while already!
So no secret! Very very open! So what! Nothing special! Really nothing new!
To all Singaporeans, you just have to live with the current situation. Vote wisely and bravely in the next GE. Do not be tempted by chicken wings before the election. You have nothing to lose.
My personal experience as a fairly successful retired independent Singaporean entrepreneur, the official policies on surface seem to protect Singaporeans but full of bullshit, and indeed favor foreigners & GLCs/Stat boards instead of citizens.
Conclusion:
1. Don't rely on govt or expect anything from them.
2. The policies are meant to collect more money from us, for their expediency, full of rules & regulations that make businesses costly and difficult.
3. If you are super-competitive Singapore is still a decent place to build wealth, but not build a business domestically. It has to be regional or global. Rental, indirect taxes, levies, red-tapes, etc can quickly kill a business here. Unless you are a PLP and doing businesses as a Pappies with Garment & Glcs.
4. If you are middle income, better migrate to Australia, NZ or Canada while you can. If you are not competitive, Thailand is a good alternative esp for those who are singles.
The policies are all about ease & bigger financial opportunities for themselves and collect more monies from both locals & foreigners.
More and more sinkies will sink further. It is real stupidity to vote n support such policies.
Singapore must open up to more foreign talent, just like a prostitute opening her legs for everyone indiscriminately. This is how shallow these fuckers are in parroting old wise or unwise cracks without thinking.
ALL Taxi Drivers are actually on contract, not self-employed.
The nomenclature "self-employed" has been invented by Inland Revenue for income tax purposes, and it has since been used by other government agencies
Taxi Drivers are on a 7-day legal contract with the taxi companies. When they failed to pay the daily rental on time for 5 consecutive days, the money-minded ruthless (but pretend to be nice) taxi companies will pull back their taxis and charge them for the towing fee (above market rate) plus interests on the rental arears.
To all the new graduates and those who are about to graduate from ITE or Universities, better start thinking and making plan to seek your career in foreign countries. There is nothing for you in Singapore. Even if you can secure a job here, how confident are you that you will keep your job for long? There are many FTs knocking at the door waiting to snatch you rice bowl. When you turn 30 and as you progress from then on your job security will be less stable. Many graduates like you are driving taxis. Be wise and be prepared.
Hi 1105am & 1121am
Thank you very very very much for the tips.
Cheers.
There are at least 100,000 active taxi drivers (full-time and part-time) and 300,000 people with valid taxi driving licence!
Out of the 3.47mln Singaporeans probably 500,000 are new citizens accumulated from past 20 to 25 yrs. So real Sinkies only nearly 3mln. Now almost 50% people in Sing are not born here true blue sinkies.
@ 1158
If you are born locally, then you are in fact "true blue". Our ancestors settled in Singapore such that we were born true blue.
Immigration & Emigration
One thing not often talked about is Lee Kuan Yew's pseudo-scientific beliefs in EUGENICS. Hitler had similar ideas, BTW.
Being a very suspicious person by nature, I am of the belief that there are attempts at EUGENICS linked to govt policies of immigration---either as a "knock-on effect" (externality, unintended consequence), or a WILFUL ATTEMPT at biological-level social engineering.
You can look it up yourself; it's way too complicated to explain here. But here's the (very very simplified) gist:
Emigration and immigration affect the gene pool of a specified population. Emigration involves genes LEAVING the gene pool and immigration involves genes ENTERING the gene pool. When this occurs---you have inter-marriages and offspring (children)---the allele frequency (pairs or groups of genes carrying hereditary characteristics) occurs. You get more VARIANCE (from genetic recombination...when male-female genes are recombined to produce babies), also mutations (random changes) in a now larger selection. i.e. the result is more genetic diversity...and lots more CHAP CHENG children. 😂
Even if you have China Chinese pairing with local Chinese or Malaysia or Indonesia Chinese, you are going to get a nice mixing of genes. These kids grow up and inter marry/ produce children later, probably with other genetically "mixed-up" partner, even though they maybe classified as the same race.
When you have greater allele frequency, evolution gets a kick up.
Whether or not this is the PAP's INTENT (and they're keeping quiet about it) or whether it is just a by-product of massive immigration and growing emigration...I don't know. What I do know is that natural biological laws---which are an extension of natural physical law--works whether you are aware of it or not; and whether you "agree" with it or not.
Being an AMORAL chap, I'm not the one to address the morality of such a thing. Maybe others can speak to that. What I believe is that mixing up the gene pool with more different genes generally leads to more robustness in the phenotypes. I'm not a geneticist. If you want to know more, you should ask the right person for answers. 😜
P.S. The PAP very sneaky one. I am even of the suspicion that they have FACTORED IN Singaporeans emigrating...i.e. genes leaving the Singapore gene pool. SO you have emigration and immigration. That would definitely mix up the gene pool like a hawker making ROJAK. And we all know, well-made rojak is quite delicious...especially if you have roasted tau pok and charred youtiao..YUM YUM (just like those delicious chap cheng gals 😎)
Old Man eugenics experiment indeed had backfired in a most ironic way in his own family.
On paper his 2 sons & daughter were academically brilliant and now very very rich financially. But emotionally and as human beings they cannot get along and even went on the world media stage to display their show & characters. His will be done or not done? His 1st daughter in law apparently rumored committed suicide, which cannot be verified. His 1st grandson also has genetic issue. His eldest son; able to shoot straight as a soldier and walk without sway? and got serious sickness? and building a national hotel inc instead of a nation?
What an irony.
Out of the 3.47 Singapore citizens, there are 600,000 new citizens. Therefore, actual Singaporeans are 2.87 million.
Singapore's birth-rate used to be 60 to 65,000 babies per year. It went down to 30,000 per year. Therefore, over the last 20 years, the PAP schemers imported on an average of 30,000 new citizens per year.
The loss of 30,000 babies per year has been replaced by 30,000 new citizens per year (on average).
The new citizens are adults, with voting rights.
The newborns cannot vote until they are 21 years old.
That means there was a steady increase of 30,000 new voters every year, while there has been a steady loss of old voters every year due to death and emigration.
Now, the 2.87 million Singaporeans comprise both male and female, old and young, voters and non-voters.
The number of Singaporean voters is approximately 1.9 million. The number of new citizen voters is 600,000. Total number of voters is approximately 2.5 million. Therefore, foreigners-turned-new-citizens comprise at least 25% of total voters! These are likely to vote for PAP
IT translates to 70-25=45% of Singaporeans voted for PAP, while 55% voted for the opposition parties.
One thing not often talked about is Lee Kuan Yew's pseudo-scientific beliefs in EUGENICS. Hitler had similar ideas,...Matilah
Many simplistic and naive advocates of eugenics only think about the good sides of a chap cheng kia. Just like the believers of FTs, only talk about the good things of FTs but silent on the negative and harmful effects.
Let me tell you this old story of Einstein and Miss World.
Einstein was honoured to put the crown on the newly crowned Miss World. And this was what the beautiful Miss World told Einstein. 'It would be so good if we were to marry. Our children would be so beautiful and so talented.'
Einstein gave her a long look and replied. 'They could look as ugly as me and have a brain like yours.'
Get the idea?
@1.21pm
Yr math is very very deep lah.
To be simple 70% voted for PAP at the last GE.
How about next GE? Anyone?
One Time LKY toyed with the ideas that Graduate Males and Females should be given special privileges in double votes plus many other benefits in having their children granted special places in schools and other benefits etc etc etc.
Asking them to marry each other instead of other peasant beans.
"Lien suan pui lui Tien suan" He thinks that they will create brilliant future Singaporeans that are useful to the Nation.
See what his sown son produce??? Not say I cruel that he had an albino grandson which is not the innocent boy now man's faults.
The Mother is a sweet and demure lady doctor. Blame who??? Just see the family tree of LKY and his children, especially his favorite daughter.
So whose genes is at fault??? Also see so many highly educated his kakis with his MPs and Ministers with so many Autistic and other deformities children.
Do not toy with God's Creations and Natures as they may back fired.
You be creating a Generation of Monsters.
See in Government clinics and hospitals, the children who usually accompanied their ageing parents or grandparents to see the Doctors are mostly the Peasant Average Working Class Adults who still have the hearts for their elders.
Those with string of degrees and high class professionals are the Ones to kick their parents and grandparents OUT when they held high status.
Sia Suay to their Reputations. No time and face for them. Ashamed to have such low class family tree.
Drink water, don't know the source of the water coming from.
Seen these types of happenings every where.
Next GE, if held in 2019, the number of new citizen voters (beholden to PAP government) will be increased by 120,000 to 720,000.
The number of Singaporean voters will only increase by 60,000 to 2.05 million.
The number of Singaporeans voting for the PAP would likely be decreased by 10% to 35%, while the number of Singaporeans voting for the Opposition would likely be correspondingly increased by 10% to 65%.
Adding two and two, PAP would likely get 60% of the total votes, while the Opposition 40% of total votes
I've been jobless since 2010 at the age of 42. Now 50 yrs old.
Approach WDA and e2i at that time lagi no use --- their recommendations were for security guards, taxi drivers, town council cleaners etc. And some more expect us to co-pay for certification for those kind of jobs!!
Luckily I've been frugal & interested in investing the past 30 years. So have built up large enough portfolio to generate sufficient dividends to cover expenses, even during bear markets like in SARS and GFC.
Also lucky I never upgraded my residential property, still staying in 4-rm HDB bought direct and fully paid off.
From 2010 to 2013 I tried applying for jobs --- mostly were temp / contract jobs that paid as low as $7.50 an hour. Permanent jobs were few & far in-between and if they pay you $2K they expect you to work like it's a $4K job.
I worked as contract staff from 2012-2013, and 1 of the reason why I was hired was so that the company can meet the local-to-foreigner ratio, and hire more foreigners.
Eventually I decided it was not worth working. Better to shake legs at home, monitor my investments, and go for simple nearby holidays 2-3 times a year.

A3.48 pm u are considered lucky. I was 50 when I was retrenched as I was working as Asia pacific manager for foreign company. When I went for interview they think u are looking for retirement job and no one wanted to employ u. My kids were in primary schools and lucky I save a lot when I started working so cash out my investment which earn me over a million profit. 20 years later the profit is fully spent but then my kids are adults now and earning good pay.

PAP has to import foreigners to become new citizens to vote for them for the party to survive, as more and more true blue Singaporeans get into dire straits . . .
In every generals' erection, pap lost about 5% of local born true Singaporeans' votes. 2015 was the exception because of the death of the knuckle duster.
That's why pap schemed against the wish of the true Singaporeans by importing new pro-pap voters as new citizens at the rate of 30,000 new voters per year. In a 5-year period, it would amount to 150,000 new voters.That is about 7.5% of new pro-pap voters, as opposed to the loss of 5% of old pro-pap voters. The final result is a net increase of 2.5% of pro-pap voters.
If the anti-Singaporeland policy continues, then ultimately pap will be assured of continued power and rule forever and ever. Then Singaporeans will suffer forever....

Traitors Of Own Ancestors Exposed
"Singapore Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen said today that the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is planning a maritime exercise with the US Navy next year.
In his opening speech at a meeting of ASEAN defence ministers in Singapore, Ng said, "ASEAN’s centrality will be further emphasised if we agree on today’s proposal for the ASEAN-US maritime exercise next year."
The proposal - which would be the first such exercise involving the US and all 10 ASEAN countries - has already been approved by ASEAN defence officials, according to ASEAN sources.
The idea of an ASEAN-US maritime exercise comes as ASEAN is set to conduct its first-ever joint naval exercise with China from October 22 to 27 off the southern Chinese coastal city of Zhanjiang in the South China Sea.
It appears to be aimed at striking a balance between China and the US - the two major powers with considerable influence in the region, especially in the South China Sea.
The joint exercise plan is expected to be included in a joint declaration to be issued after the defence ministers’ meeting, which is chaired by Ng.
ASEAN defence ministers will also be meeting with defence chiefs from major countries outside the region, including the US, China, India and Russia, in a series of meetings through Saturday.
In February, ASEAN and Chinese defence ministers agreed to conduct a first joint maritime exercise this month. A two-day table top exercise, which focused on developing plans to conduct joint rescue operations at sea, was held in August.
For its part, the US military has conducted bilateral and multilateral military exercises with all ASEAN states but Myanmar and Laos, according to the website of the US Embassy in Singapore."

//I read the unemployment for Singaporeans is around 3% in the 2nd Quarter of 2018.//
The "REAL UNEMPLOYMENT" figure among sickies is most likely much higher. Why? Firstly, if a sickie is of working age (15 to 67-yo) but has given up or stopped looking for a job, then he is not classified as "UNEMPLOYED" in that 3% number but in the 32%++ working age sickies parked outside the active labour force data. What is that?
If the (daft and ignoramus) sickies (especially those who are ILLITERATE in eCONomics) bother to google sickieland's LFPR (labour force participation rate), a figure in the 67% region for 2017 is likely to pop up?
What does that mean?
For the benefit of those "ILLITERATE" in eCONomics (including many 阿嫲阿公 in "我的辛枷駊腥蚊"), let's assume the sickieland total working population (age 15 to 67-yo) is 2.5 million.
Given that the official sickieland's LFPR (labour force participation rate), is ONLY about 67% for 2017, this means that there are around 33% of the working age sickies not COUNTED in the active labour force statistics.
This 33% (about 825,000 sickies) would include upper sec students, jc students, NSF, undergrads, pohlehlong students, its the end students, housewives etc.
Technically all upper sec students, jc students, NSF, undergrads, pohlehlong students, its the end students and housewives ADDED up would make up about on estimate approximately 600,000 people age between 15 to 67-yo?
This leaves around 225,000 sickies unaccounted for?
If these 225,000 are aged between 15 to 67-yo but have somehow stopped or given up looking for jobs, under "mainstream" eCONomics "classification", they are not counted in the 3% offcial unemployment numbers?
So then what is the actual "REAL" unemployment number in sickieland?
If sickies and the many 阿嫲阿公 in "我的辛枷駊腥蚊" can't figure out, then the "title" of "daft" strapped on their (fore)heads (by one old fart) has been (far more than) deserving (and rightly so)?
"猪"是怎么"æ»"çš„? Stupidity has no cure The "illness" of the DAFTEST human beans on Mother Earth is incurable or terminal maciam stage 4 CANCER? Their "final resting place" is a "hospice" aka "sickland"?
Sickies, LISTEN! Get (the fart) out of one chatao ELITE FACE if you earn below the "mediocre" salary of S$500,000 and below (and thus a born loser based on the definition of mediocre by one wooden blockhead chatao?
Typo
Should be
*ELITE ATAS UNCARING face (cast in GOLD aka BAO KIM, 包金)
There are countless sickies working PART-TIME a couple of hours per week earning a paltry miserable $5 an hour for some hawker assistants and cleaners but are also considered "FULLY-EMPLOYED" (& are thus not considered in the 3% "unemployment" statistics)? Trust "statistics and eCONomics" at your own "risk" (and "peril")?
There are many Ang Tees earning a paltry and extremely meagre $300 to $400 per mth as PART-TIME office cleaners but are considered fully employed in the employment data?
Why stay in Sg when you are second class citizen and third class resident?
The unemployment rate is actually 3% plus 33%; total is 36%. This encompasses those from 15 yo to 67 yo. Those above 67 and pensioners are not included.
3.38am, the Govt statistics may not be correct but your estimate of 36% can not be right. If it's that high the Govt would not be able to get 70% of the vote lar😰
Stupidity has no cure, really!
Stupid yet want to act smart. This is the most screwed-up.

@ RB 155
Yes, Einstein was 100% spot on. All this stuff about gene mixing, heredity...i.e. transmission of data relating to physical characteristics by genes rests on PROBABILITY. You cannot apply it to single examples of male-female pairing. Because genetics is probabilistic it applies to POPULATIONS. (large numbers of individuals)
For e.g. if you roll 2 (fair) dice, the chances of rolling a double six is 1/36. But those of us who play dice know that you can roll 3, 10 or even more double sixes in a row. Or roll the dice 50 or more times and NOT get one single double six. Each roll is INDEPENDENT of the one before and after. The dice has "no memory" and "no intention" of any outcome. Probability/ randomness is like that---it can be lumpy or smooth. It can have clusters. It can cause people to make very lousy decisions. 🤣
In the case of immigration/ emigration in Singapore, the numbers involved are very big and also the time frame. The effects of changes in the gene pool might not occur for GENERATIONS.
Genes also mutate due to environmental factors. If you stress people out, if they have sleep deprivation, or eat badly...whatever stressors there are in the environment, those could affect changes in the genetics of a population too.
@ Virgo:
Ah yes, the old SDU---Social Development Unit. Another "failed experiment" from the ridiculous ideas on EUGENICS by Lee Kuan Yew.

OFF TOPIC
I did mention that Our Holy Govt (Praise be unto them) has more Nation Building "goodies" in store for We The Sheeple?
Fucking Air Taxis by Volocopter man! Next year, we will have them flying around our very tall buildings...you tell me, got langgar or not? 🤣
100% software driven...a hacker's dream come true. Upload malware, Volocopter crash lah. Maybe crash into Parliament House...when it is in session. Oh man, I must not let my imagination get too wild here. 🤡
But then...if we are going for7-9 million and beyond in terms of population, there will be very crowded land transport. So govt in their infinite wisdom (Praise be unto them), has got this idea to solve the problem.
So we'll have a huge mixed up gene pool (of 7-9 million souls)...and Volocopters. Can you imagine the future Singapore?
Drone copters are nothing new. Many Chinese companies are producing them for years. As to your imagination, let them run wild. Computer driven copters are as dangerous as driverless bus or cars. Yes, hacking and virus attack will create a mess of everything.
Just to raise one point. You can pack thousands of cars on one road. How many aircraft can fly in an air corridor that is hundreds or thousands of times bigger? How much separation, same level and height needed? Even so few aircraft in one air corridor, they still knocked into one another.
How many copters you think can the island take at one time without them knocking at one another or how many can fly in the city area at one time?
It may come true one day as copter taxis when they could master the technology to avoid hitting each other safely.
Commercial application would be very limited because or accident risk.

Exactly. Some things are just not meant for over-crowded Singapore. Space + Gravity: big FACTS of nature which limit what you can do in Singapore space, and airspace.
I think it is just another case of "profits first, safety...boleh tahan can orleidi lah"
If the copter service starts, you can expect many complaints and many natural aristocrats would want the govt to set up no fly zones around their GCBs. No they are not afraid of copters falling into them. There are many interesting and funny possibilities that can happen when you have little things flying all over the island.
See the restrictions placed on little drones with cameras?
