I have no doubt in my mind that digitalisation of our economy is the right thing to pursue. However, my main concern about this whole digital efforts centres on jobs creation. Minister Iswaran talked about the estimated 10,000 new jobs within the technology industry being created but he fell far short of saying whether those 10,000 new and better paying jobs will largely benefit Singaporeans (or not).
I ask what is so great about this scheme if those thousands and thousands of new jobs being created once again go to foreigners from overseas because of a mismatch of skills, education, training and/or experience of our own Singaporean job seekers, resulting in more and more Singaporeans ending up as Grab drivers even when our job seekers are not uneducated or IT illiterate....

The above is posted by Simon Lim in TRE. I share his concern that most of the jobs may go to foreigners especially to Indians from India under CECA.
What do you think, 10% goes to Singaporeans and 90% to foreigners?
Below are two comments posted in TRE in this article showing how the people are anticipating what would gonna be the outcome. These Singaporeans are reading such initiatives with a lot of fear, scepticism and distrust of the govt. Can the got blame the people for their misgivings? Would the govt want to prove otherwise? Or would the govt care how it would impact the Singaporeans or how the Singaporeans feel about this?
Many former PMEs lost their decent jobs to the fake FTs dumped here by Lee Ah Long.
Meanwhile,their savings are being consumed by the HIGH COL here.
Becos many cannot qualify for social assistance due to the TYPE OF HOUSING they live in,many become impoverished.
To make things worse,the GREEDY N INCONSIDERATE SQUANDERING LEE AH LONG N HIS MONKEYS suck our CPF by scheming like CPF LIFE etc while allowing GENERAL COST OF LIVING to escalate.
This govt is UNFIT FOR DUTY N they know it.
Thus,besides having existing advantages like GRC N A CIVIL SERVICE READY TO DO ITS BIDDING,they come out with FAKE NEWS LAW to *POW CHIAK* any sg who criticises them especially aimed at good oppo sgs.
Sgs must wake up or be the cause of their own *desperation* by and by.

10,000 is a number that exists only for aliens FTs PRs.
10,000 is a number that does not exist for local born 70% sheep.
remember the 2 casinos and the same pap Lj who said thousands of jobs? today June 2019 no a single pap Lj or pap Cb dare to tell 70% sheep how many local born 70% sheep are employed by the 2 casinos versus total number employed by the 2 casinos.
WHY?
because 94.7% are aliens FTs PRs, and 5.3% are local born 70% sheep.

To raise the population to 10 million from the current 5.7 million, there has to be jobs in waiting for the additional 4.3 million foreigners, likely from India.

ReplyDeleteSystemic Failure Is Too Glaring
Basically, the whole world has changed over the last 20 years because of globalisation. At first, it seemed that globalization had brought about only goodness. Nobody wanted to talk or even think about the downsides, the ills and side-effects that globalisation would bring about. Every leader, adviser, consultant and top civil servant simply follow the direction that the global wind was blowing. No one had bothered to take a step back and look from a distance to get the proper perspective. Why?
As a result, Singapore has also changed tremendously over the last 20 years, especially in three areas - banking and finance, human resource and immigration, and jobs and skills/talents.
However, the leadership has not change - old dogs cannot learn new tricks, fear of change or too stubborn to change.
The people's attitude, behaviour, mentality, skills sets and talent pools also have not change. So, there is a dichotomy, irony, dilemma and misfit in almost every aspect of the whole society.
Clearly, there is a systemic failure, whether deliberate (self-sabotage) or otherwise (lack of vision, foresight and initiative).
Whose fault? Answer:
1. Ministry of Education has failed miserably and horrendously in churning out the talents needed.
2. Ministry of Manpower has failed to project and ensure the training of local people to cater for the needs of industries (foreign and local). Over-reliance on foreign workers and talents, laziness (taking the easy way out) and lack of ideas are the causes of this unfortunate but preventable failure.
3. Immigation Authority, under Ministry of Home Affairs, has failed to control, screen and restrict the influx of undesirable, unwanted and unnecessary foreign elements who post as foreign talents but were actually redundants, fakes, frauds and criminals. These failures should not have been tolerated but they were allowed to pass. So something must be very wrong with the overall system.
5. The PMO has failed to coordinate and fine-tune the policies created with the various Ministries. The tendency to leave everything to the Ministers to decide as they please has been clearly and glaringly exemplified in the recently passed POFM Act. This means it is time for the PM to retire. New DNA is required.
4. The above three Ministries should bare the full responsibility of this systemic failure, although the other Ministries are also partly to blame.
What is/was the cause of this systemic failure? Answer:
Over-paid Ministers and top civil servants. Nobody wants to rock the boat and get himself sack because the money was/is too good to believe. Nowhere else in the world can such rewards be expected by a mere public servant (both politician and civil servant).
Good luck Singapore!
When millionaire politicians run out of idea and hanging on to a miserable 2% or less GDP growth and still demanding to be paid in the millions, what can you expect?
ReplyDeleteWith this kind of non growth built on non productive headcounts of imported labour, how far can it go, more a case of blowing the population balloon until it bursts.
In the commercial factor, the CEO would be sacked long ago and replaced, or the company closed down.

ReplyDeleteDId you see that? Boeing used USD 9 per hr "engineers" to develop software for the 737 MAX. HCL did the software for the plane, Cyient for the flight tests.
I notice something very interesting on their websites. When they tout their services, the always use ang mohs to do it. I wonder why this is?
Anyway, I hope that they are not responsible for the terrible performance of the Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. Some news reports are mischievously alluding to the idea that these "cheap engineers no good lah", as Boeing got rid of its old engineers to save money.
The news media is being very cheeky trying to link the idea of cheap engineers with the dangerous outcome (i.e. fatal crashes). I don't think they've found a link, but the news media are a cheeky bunch of so-and-so's who love to make trouble and suggest things that they have no proof of.
Everyone is well aware that Indian engineers are top-notch. That's why they get the work.

ReplyDelete70% of Singapore GOVT IT jobs involve significant Ahneh IT (usually indirectly thru a few layers of different companies), especially when it comes to the parts that no Sinkie likes to do i.e. coding, debugging, turnkey system development etc.
My first involvement with Ahneh IT staffing in govt-related areas was way back in 1994 when I was in a stat board. Many of those early Ahnehs were quite terrible in IT actually. But the quality improved in the 2000s.
Previously in the late-1980s to early-1990s, a lot of Indoes(almost always of chinese ancestry) and Hongkies. BTW in the 1990s, those chinese Indoes & Hongkies automatically invited to get PR after 6 months working in S'pore.
Also got quite a few Cheena IT staffing from early-1990s, but problem is their lack of English communication. And worse of all, majority don't bother to put in effort to improve in order to communicate with govt ministries / stat boards. Hence most Cheena IT confined to SME's chinese-speaking work environment & also helping those SME's expand local biz into China.
From my experience with those Cheena IT staff who put in effort to master English and get jobs in govt stat boards, they are usually very solid, better than locals & ahnehs.

The HK opposition said the HK student protesters walked right into a trap
The story line is quite predictable after this?
(Likely) Act 1:
The HK public opinion ("made" to) swing against the protesters?
(Likely) Act 2:
With the trade truce and the window period gained, they will likely turn against the protesters.
Act 3:
Sooner of later, the Act will likely be passed into law?
No?
Just watch what happen in the coming days, weeks and months?
After HK (more or less settled) , likely ROC could be next "target "?
ReplyDeleteThe Japanese must be worried sick?

Agree with the above comments on CECA and bringing in more Indians to fill top jobs that lazy Singaporeans did not want. And when there are enough Indians here, the Cheenas would not dare to say Singapore not ready for India PM. More Indian FTs and more Indian new citizens are the way to go for Singapore to survive into the 21st century.
