Singaporeans lacked skills set, experience and track records
According to a FT HR consultant, Singaporeans lacked the skills set and experience to be employable in Singapore. She could only find such experienced people in India. And that could be the compelling reason why all her job placements for companies in Singapore come from India.
This is indeed a great revelation to the state of affair in Singapore. She did not mention which skills set were found wanting among Singaporean PMEs, but very likely these could be in finance, IT and engineering or may even be in medical science. So what does this say? Plenty.
In the first place the education system is not producing the required people with the necessary qualifications for employment, or it is producing too little of them. Our Minister of Education and the institutions of higher learning would need to do some reflection on their shortcomings. Two, the job experience of Singaporeans were inadequate or unsuitable. This could be a problem of Singaporeans not given the chance to gain job experience. But how could they gain experience without being employed first?
The remedy to this problem is simple. Singaporeans should study in Indian Universities as they have proven to be the best in producing graduates for the job markets in Singapore. They must know something we don’t or our MOE and tertiary institutions don’t. And the next step, after getting a degree from the Indian universities, they should stay in India to gain the needed job experience so that the FT HR consultants can place them for jobs in Singapore.
The whole process is now even made easier by the free trade agreement between India and Singapore and there will be no problem for their degrees to be recognized here. And being educated in Indian universities, they will learn the Indian culture and could, hopefully, integrate to the Indian expat and professional community here, and may even be earmarked for higher appointments.
Now that we know the shortcomings of our education system and the needs of the job market, it is easier to put this into practice. Forget about NUS, NTU or SMU or whatever U in Singapore. The road to success, to get a job in Singapore, is through India and Indian Universities.
Why uncle Redbean and other bloggers allow people to peddle toy pussies at their blogs is really beyond understanding. The peddlers may have no access to real pussies. But, the others here are not short of it, not with Matilah around.
ReplyDeleteAre those perverts allowed, since their posts hang around, because bloggers want readers to see for themselves the presences of the pervert IBs?
Those sick perverts have to purged for good.
Certificates from India need not be recognized?
ReplyDeleteThought their certs need not be authenticated.

Thanks anon 3:04. Got it deleted. There are too many and creeping in too often. Bloggers used to be able to blog them. Apparently they have failed lately.
ReplyDeleteWill delete them when appeared.
Is that HR consultant from you know lah!
ReplyDeleteIf that is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help us God.
I seem to remember years ago the joke that there are so many graduates from Indian Universities sweeping the roads. Now, could that be the kind of experience and track record our learned HR consultant is talking about?
I want to set up a resume writing company. I can write anything you want into your resume for a small fee. In big countries overseas, how to check what is true?
ReplyDeleteSinkies try to write something that is not true into their resume will be found out with one phone call.
10 males to bully 1 female? Ya, there is a really lack of skills set among Singaporeans....
ReplyDeleteWat you talking?
ReplyDeleteRB, one cup of kopi for you.
ReplyDeletei saw that piece on tv - this Indian 'foreign talent''s company should be shut down.
ReplyDeleteWhy dont these stupid SIngaporeans realise this - if a foreign company or foreigner comes into Singapore and makes no contribution to the country, then why should it exist in this country?
Why create such a job in the first place if its not for Singaporean, the office can be in India then, and it will be cheaper.
ReplyDeleteThat will allow us to be less crowded as well.
Even companies create work for their people, talking about people orientated.... where is Singapore heading?????
Why create such a job in the first place if its not for Singaporean, the office can be in India then, and it will be cheaper.
ReplyDeleteIndia shit big time. Nobody want to put accounts and financial in India, even if cost is much lower. They are a bunch of very corrupt people. Next second there will be embezzlement if you out your accounts there.
Singaporeans are honest. Thats y many MNC prefer Singapore. Unfortunately, the financial institutions here are getting more and more captured by FT Indians. Recently, LIBOR gate and OLAM gate are daylight fraud involving FT Indians senior management.
With so many FT Indians, eventually we will lost our reputation of honesty. No MNC will trust us again.
FT HR consultant = snake oil salesman. Just another propaganda campaign. Are all the financial centers in the world starting to recruit indians? Beware of financial centers operated by indians. They are nothing but big cheats and empty vessels.
ReplyDeleteSingapore reputation as a financial center will do down the drain within five years if they are staffed by indians. We have to stop this. We will end up like Cyprus.
ReplyDeleteThe financial center here will be in trouble within 3 years and the gahmen will push and blame those ahnehs and locked them up in changi while taking over the alledged funds privately. Is this the game plan?
ReplyDeleteI don't understand...If India really have so many talents that Singaporeans do not have, why is it still a 3rd world under-developed poor nation? I wonder why Singapore needs such 3rd world cheap labor that often comes with fake degrees and over-bloated resume, when we ourselves had built Singapore into what we are today???
ReplyDeleteDO YOU KNOW WHERE IS YOUR CPF MONEY?

"The one lesson that you can take from the Cypriot experience is: the race goes to the swift," says Buchheit.
"And if you get out of Dodge early, you are completely protected. If you stay, and in effect trust the politicians, they not only come after [your money] they lock it up."

Remember the ah Neh CEO of Citi; sold a failed hedge fund to Citi and became the CEO.
ReplyDeleteah Neh can talk bull until the whites believed. ah Neh will help Pappies to bring Singapore down real fast. most ah Neh cannot be trusted...its in their culture.
Ah neh can fake degrees, talk big, play dirty but they cannot do serious, honest work. Just look around the work, any reliable products from ahneh? All the projects screwed up by ahneh are fixed by china and europe.
ReplyDeleteI checked the world university Qs ranking, the top Indian university ranked 227 versus NUS 28. QS people must have their heads checked for incorrectly compute the ranking lor

ReplyDelete[Rising MediShield premiums depleting seniors’ Medisave accounts]
from Georgia Tong Jee Cheng
"In 2000, the Govt encouraged the elderly to apply for MediShield by paying the premium for two years.
My mother was 69 then and her premium was S$132,
which we thought was a reasonable starting amount.
But by 2006, her MediShield premium was S$375.
It was S$615 last year
and S$1,123 this year, an 82.6 per cent increase,
with not enough in her Medisave to pay for it after 12 years.
If the elderly are unable to keep topping up their Medisave,
they would have no MediShield coverage in their critical years,
and the current web of policies is too complicated for them to understand."

[On the Parliament Vote to Endorse the Population White Paper - Redux: Who didn't vote?]
"All opposition party MPs voted no.
All non-constituency MPs voted no.
Of the nominated MPs,
Eugene Tan abstained, as is well known.
Janice Koh, Faizah Jamal and Laurence Lien
all voted against the motion, as is also known.
What was not stated in the mainstream media was that
of the remaining five nominated MPs,
Tan Su Shan was absent,
while the remaining 4 voted aye.
These 4, whose names were not mentioned in the media, are
Nicholas Fang, Mary Liew, Ramy Dhinakaran and Teo Siong Seng.
Remember these nominated MP names.
When the time comes to re-appoint the nominated MPs, it will be interesting to see
who gets the nod for re-appointment,
and who doesn't,
and see
how the re-appointment reconciles with this voting record."

"The Metropolitan Museum of Art's practice of requesting a 'recommended' admission fee of $25 (£16)
deceives patrons entitled to pay as little as they choose, a lawsuit charges.
The lawsuit, filed in New York City on behalf of former patrons,
contends that the world famous museum, which receives six million visitors a year,
uses misleading marketing and cashier training to deceive unwary visitors.
A former employee of the Met may testify, alleging that
cashiers were trained to encourage visitors to pay the full fee by saying things like
'you must realise it is very expensive to run the museum'
and that signage was changed from 'suggested' to 'recommended'
because administrators believed it would encourage people to pay more.."
