Fair Jobs for Singaporeans!
 
I shall be organising an event at Speakers’ Corner in the 2nd week of September under the aegis of my Movement – Project Freedom , with the theme of ” Fair Jobs for Singaporeans ! ” .
 
We will not be discussing diabetes , pre-school or smart nation at the event but on the critical topic of what our Government should be doing to protect the rights of Singaporeans to find good jobs in their homeland !
 
Singaporeans are finding it increasingly difficult to get jobs whether you are a fresh graduate or a PMET who has been displaced by a foreign worker . The landscape for jobs in Singapore gets bleaker by the day . Our government has done little to prepare our workers for the revolution that is about to engulf the world as a result of automation .
I am crowdfunding for $ 20 000 to organise the event . A breakdown of the estimated itemised cost is as follows :-
1.Stage and tentage
2.Sound system
3.Barricades
4. Security personnel
 
Please support generously by donating to the following account ;

I call on 16 800 Singaporeans ( so far $ 3200 has been raised ) to please help give $ 1 each ( and in the process show the displeasure of the neglect of the government in this area ) and to share this meaningful event with your friends .
 
I look forward to seeing you at Hong Lim Park !
 

The above is taken from a post by Cynical Investor posted in TRE. The job situation for Singaporean graduates and PMETs has never been so bad that many of them have gone on to the retired list while quite a number are underemployed after spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to get a good degree from our world class universities. The number of Singaporean graduates becoming part time workers, contract workers or even becoming taxi or Uber/Grab drivers is no laughing matter. It is not just a shame but a crime against our very own Singaporeans to end up this way.
 
Today we have someone serious and credible in Lim Tean to take up this cause for our pathetic and lost Singaporeans. Many have given up, no idea on what to do to improve their lives. Here is a man that could make a difference to the lives of jobless and unemployed Singaporeans. Lim Tean could be the man Singaporeans have been waiting for to come forward in critical times like this to make a change for the better.
 
Singaporeans cannot continue to languish in hopelessness, hoping and waiting for jobs from MOM’s job banks or to attend NTUC classes to train them to go to work in third world countries to earn third world currencies that would not be enough to feed their families and pay for the expensive HDB flats.
 
The cause that Lim Tean is taking up is a worthy cause and very important to the well being of Singaporeans. This is a cause worth supporting. I will do my little contribution to this calling. Something serious must be done now to stop the destruction of the Singaporean PMETs from the employment market. They have families to feed and a son is critical to be able to live in this most expensive city in the world.
 
Please support this cause and support fellow Singaporeans. It is a shame to see millions of foreigners walking into this city as tourist and get a permanent job while Singaporean were left on the shelf, lamenting what is happening to their lives, to their degrees, to their abilities and their self esteem.
 
Lim Tean is asking for a dollar from each Singaporean. I am sure every Singaporean can do better than this for their fellow Singaporeans. This is like the building of Nantah when the ordinary Singaporeans dug deep into their pockets to help the ordinary Singaporeans. Forget about the millionaires. They have more important matters to care for. They don’t have time for the ordinary Singaporeans, the so called losers.
