Shawn Lee wrote a piece published in the TRE urging the govt to tighten immigration policy when every sensible govt in the West, especially our idol country called the USA, are doing it. This is what Shawn wrote in his first paragraph,
‘Over the past weeks, Australia, New Zealand and the U.S. have all tightened their work visa programs for skilled foreigners. Australia scrapped its 457 visa for employer-sponsored skilled foreign labour program; U.S. President Trump announced a “Buy American, Hire American” Executive Order to review the H1-B visa which is used primarily to bring in foreign IT professionals into high tech sectors like Silicon Valley; and New Zealand has also started to tighten skilled work visa requirements in a “Kiwis-first approach to immigration”.’
I thought we were thinking in the same wavelength when he said, ‘This is the best time for Singapore to jump onto the bandwagon and tighten our immigration criteria to avoid being singled out and blamed by global MNCs here for cutting their access to cheap foreign labour who compete for jobs with Singaporeans.’
This is the part that I disagree with him. I think this is the best time for the govt to open the legs wider, oops, I mean the door wider to capitalize on the situation when all the fake talented foreigners from the Third World have been locked out and no where to go, they would all come here to help make up the 6.9m population. This type of opportunity does not come often. Now we can pick up all the 'talents' and craps floating around in the high seas. We can pick and choose, just make sure we have a working system to fish out all the fakes and degree mills talents. We don’t need such flotsam. There are already too many here. Now we can take our time to pick and choose with a fine comb.
One caveat, make sure we have the right talent to spot the fake talents. We need the thieves to catch the thieves. Recruit some of the best fake talents first, then use them to stop all the fakes that are trying to get in. Oh, I think we already have a lot of them here furiously recruiting more fakes. Just tell them this time the objective is to identify and reject the fakes or simply reject all the fakes they have chosen as talents.
We can set up a Ministry of Fake Talents and appoint a minister to run it with a pool of fake talents. Then we can guarantee to pick up the best in a situation like this. When the angels are fleeing, it is time for the daft, oops, I mean the brave to go in.
What do you think?

Uncle, tis a beautiful near Labour Day Saturday morning. While many r hv their long weekend in neighbouring cuntry or kids bz study for exam, uncle u r really on the ball la to write blog, salute to u man.
U see there is a Garmen Minister Teoh Ah Luck who resigned & intend to go into bziness or start-up, mayb recommend the above new Ministry to him & he no need to resign as PeeAm has lost another talent, or Ah Luck isn't interested as his luck maybe in private sector as he could milk the G fund to his bziness benefits ma..or is he gonna stand in as next EP candidate in case Halima fail the criteria? Ah Luck can jus change his ic race from Chin to Malay ma, then the skin color he jus go more Iron Man race he become darker & speak some market Malay & everything can EP Liao...
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
Yes! We must not jump onto the bandwagon to tighten our immigration criteria!
Yes! We should open our door wider to capitalize on the situation to help make up the 6.9m or even 10m population.
Yes! This type of opportunity does not come often.
Yes! You deserved to be given this year national day award (Superstar Tamesick Medal) by proposing to set MOFT (Ministry of F Talents). Staffed by F talents and headed by a F minister.
Yes! This an example of........think out of the box! Not easy! Not easy!
Yes! You really deserved this year national day award (Superstar Tamesick Medal)!
Yes! I sincerely hope that they will award to you.
Yes! If not, what a shame it will be!
Yes! We shall wait and see.
Yes! For now......let us enjoy the loooooooooong weekend!
Cheers!
Open the legs, oops door wider or just bend down to let in the talents who are been turned away by thelesser First World Nations.
Next Headline: UNEMPLOYMENT continues to grow for Sinkies.
Ex NTUC Chief and now MOM Chief explained that due to mismatchs. Don't blame the FTs for they are not mismatched as echoed by the Academics.
Hopefully, the 70% Dafts PAPies supporters are not in the list of Mismatches.
Ah Kong 65 said not enough pains yet. But soon.
Ah Luck's CasaNova charms in wooing the Aunties bites no longer hold water. Now just as mature and old aunties looking for younger Valentino.
So got to retreat to private sector and old secretaries may want to gain.his attention.
The Impatient Senior Ministers of States have to be pushed up another bar just like on the SAF where you have what 1st, 2nd and 3rd Sergeant.
Or else they will hurt their egos.
So whether duds or not, have to keep them contained and satisfied. If not have to join Chip Seng Construction as a Director as HDB's biggest contractors.
Sinkies are the only mismatches but not the PAP elites.
...all the fake talented foreigners from the Third World have been locked out and no where to go, they would all come here to help make up the 6.9m population.
RB
Already happening for a long time lah, if not how to get 5.5m population now?
And with 5.5m, Sinkies still don't protest even in Hong Lim Park and voted 70% for PAP some more, so why not 6.9m?
And not say 6.9m, even if 10m, Sinkies will also still diam diam and the Sinkie opposition will also not be ready to be govt.
Hsien Loong and his PAP are so lucky to rule over Sinkies. How I wish I were Hsien Loong or his ministers. Well paid and screw up, but still can win elections! And win big some more!

For that, I think Hsien Loong had to thank his late father lah.
Because of the late LKY's far sighted actions on the Sinkie opposition in the past, that's why the Sinkie opposition till now, and after more than 50 years of independence, is still not ready to be govt, and even after LKY had died 2 years already.
So this is the best legacy Hsien Loong inherited from his late father. Can afford to screw up but still can win elections.
When the angels are fleeing, it is time for the daft, oops, I mean the brave to go in.
RB
But then hor, maybe the daft, oops, I mean the brave, are not able to flee lah.
So they have no choice but to be brave to go in lor. In other words, the daft are forced to be also brave lah. Hahahahaha.
Another problem is that the daft is not brave, and for good reasons too, to vote for opposition.
/// We can set up a Ministry of Fake Talents and appoint a minister to run it with a pool of fake talents. ///
A fake talent leading a bunch of fake talents ?????
True or not?
Fake talents are the ones that hurt singapore economy. These fake talents deny the real hardworking contributing talents from coming to singapore.
A real singapore had disappeared. In it place is a new singapore overrun by fake citizens. We should change name to fakespore.
How to get those fakes which have become masters and gurus?
Fake talents are better than no talents.
Because if Sinkieland don't want to take in fake talents, they will not even have much warm bodies to take in.
And Sinkieland cannot have not enough warm bodies, as that will be worse.
To be fair, I think not all foreign talents are fake lah. Just that in any society or population, there are some good ones, and also some not so good or even fake ones.
And God is kind to enough to ensure that most of the foreign talents coming to Sinkieland are not fake lah, just that they are not so good only. Not so good, just like PAP govt, doesn't mean fake, OK?
RB you're too late liao. Many on TRE already said PAPies are already opening the legs-open policy even bigger recently. Even though Contact S'pore is closing, but now the govt using other tactics --- using the EDB/MTI offices around the world to make offers to MNCs that they can't refuse --- free lunches with zero taxes and taxpayer-funded $100M rebates plus both-eyes-closed policy to allow MNCs to transfer their foreign-recruited employees into SG.
The other main tactic now is to use MOE/Polytechnic/NUS/NTU to go overseas (mainly China) to convince parents to accompany their kids to SG, and to overseas Unis to convince foreign students to quit their Unis and come to SG instead. Free education plus monthly allowance some more. These overseas trips are conducted every 3 months. When I was working in NYP, we went to China every 6 months. Even before the foreign students graduate, we will help the foreign students to secure jobs. These are orders passed down from MOE to our CEO and then to our DIRs. Bo pian unless you willing to resign.
Singapore is finished for Singaporeans . . .

No wonder lah. My company recruited a lot of foreigners eg PRC, Myanmar etc, but they are fresh graduates from our poly and U and even ITE and mostly for technical jobs.
Maybe not enough Sinkies or Sinkies not interested to study engineering or technical things? So bo pian have to give scholarships to foreigners to study here lor. Or else they will not come and our Polys and U will need to merge or close down, just like our secondary schools and JCs.
With the Chinese economy booming, the Chinese would not want to come anymore. Maybe can catch those 11As that the Malaysian garment did not want and all the fakes from the villages.

Of course the better ones will not come here lah, be it Chinese or whatever. That goes without saying.
So maybe need to go deeper into the villages to recruit. Then maybe can get. But get they must or else even the polys and U need to merge or close down due to lack of Sinkie students, especially for the engineering and technical courses.
Maybe can catch those 11As that the Malaysian garment did not want...
9:05 pm
In fact they are doing just that. My company is in the technical business, and besides the PRCs, Mynamar and Filipinos, also recruited a lot of Malaysian Chinese, and for a long time already. Very few Sinkies, maybe only 5% of the company strength of around 200 staff.
Now even Malaysian bumis (Malaysian Malays) also have, but mainly for the lower level jobs like technicians, and who need to move around on motorbikes in their work. And everyday they go back home to Malaysia on their bikes to save money.
Good idea, a fake talent ministry headed by a fake minister to be in charge of fake talent affairs.
