What kind of Singaporean core do you want?

Do you want a Singaporean core at the bottom worker’s level, a core in middle management, or a core at top management? Or do you just want a Singaporean core at the political leadership level?
 
There can be many permutations to this choice really. How about a Singaporean core at the political leadership level and a core at the worker’s level and the rest to be filled by any ‘chapalan’ foreigners? Or do you want a Singaporean core at the political leader’s level plus top management and the rest leave it to the foreigners? Just add to the variations and see which is best for the interests of the Singaporeans, or for the interests of the elite, or for the interests of the foreigners.
 
I hope Swee Say is not talking about a Singaporean core at the worker’s level plus a core at the political leadership and the middle and top management levels can be offered to the foreigners on a silver platter. Let’s wait to hear from him or any other minister or the PM himself on what should be the best combination for a Singaporean core.
 
And there could also be variation at different levels like at the worker’s level the Singaporean core should be the supervisory ranks while the worker bees and ants be left to the foreigners or is it the other way round.
 
What would be a bad combination against the interests of Singaporeans? It is easy to talk about core but it can be a rotten core or a smelly core that may not be good to Singaporeans. Don’t simply think talking about a core must be good to Singaporeans. Look at the real core in practice and see what it really meant.
 
I am not encouraged by a Singaporean core at the worker’s level. What do you think? I think if this materialized then it would be a sad day for Singaporeans.
