MOM Ownself Check Ownself?
The news says MOM is putting 47 companies on its watchlist for suspected discriminatory hiring practices.
All these companies together with other companies in question, are suspected to favor hiring foreigners or foreigners of particular nationality.
The fundamental question is, MOM is the one who issued all those work passes and permits to these companies. Why do they only find out of such discriminatory hiring practices AFTER they have approved all the permits and passes to these companies?
Didn’t they have a system of checks on all companies before issuing all these work permits or EP, S passes?
Do MOM have a system of checks on compliance on the Quota system? If yes, why do some companies have over 90% foreign workers?....
Goh Meng Seng
The above article by Goh Meng Seng was posted in TRE. Is Goh Meng Seng being naughty by asking mischievous questions? Apparently he is not the only one asking such obvious questions that super talents did not know was happening and even got rewarded, got promoted, etc etc. Many commentators to this article also asked many embarrassing questions that super talents and millionaires would not feel embarrassed about. Here is one.
MOM is supposed to be Ministry of Manpower. “The Ministry of Manpower is a ministry of the Government of Singapore which is responsible for the formulation and implementation of labour policies related to the workforce in Singapore.”
So how are they doing that without knowing how many foreign workers in Singapore, by industries, by businesses, etc.? Why only watchlist now, shouldn’t it be from day one? MOM is supposed to formulate Singaporeans first policy!!
What it based on to formulate and implement labour policies? How it knows what skillsets requirement from time to time? Do they know which industry in need of labour, especially local labours?
Harder Truths:
The company that I used to work in was 99.9% FT. Over the last decade the locals have all been replaced by South Asian village people and then more recently by Hong Kong refugees. They are here to stay. And grow. Like cancer.
It is only a matter of time – before the next GE (as if it matters) – when no $G born will be employed in anything worthwhile except front desk civil servants, government cleaning services and the cannon-fodder military.
Remember to sing the new national anthem “majulah FT citizen lah”
Billy ma:
This act is just what it is ‘an act’ by PAP.
it’s not a MOM own initiative but a political wayang of lhl.
The fact that PAP & MOM pretend like they’re doing a great measure at this time is pure disgusting.
Singaporeans should be very angry with PAP that at this point lhl is still playing & making fools of the citizens.
Please remember this.
Merobok:
It is important to note that these companies would not have been so
bold to take in so many of their kind had it not been MOM approving
their work passes! These companies will send in the applications and if
approved will send in more as no one stopped them.
Now, MOM says that something is wrong! Look inwards into the SOP and
those who approved these passes and not pointing fingers at these
companies!
What do you think would be the answers from the super talents? Let me try to guess. How about, It just happened. Or, we did not plan for it. Or, Goh Meng Seng is spreading rumours, where are his proof?
Let' move on. No need to waste time on such things.
What do you think?
Above are some comments on the anger of Singaporeans on the CECA flood in Singapore and MOM is not spare from taking the brunt of the heat. Can MOM escape by saying they knew and they were tackling the problem to the best they could and they cannot be blamed? They have came out with great ideas like the jobs bank?
Who then should be blamed? Daft Singaporeans that took the hit from right cheek and then offered the left cheek?
Do Singaporeans believe that the meek shall inherit the earth or be expelled from earth?
Just read this in CNA. If they have made Chan Chun Sing the PM 20 years ago, then things would not have gone that bad.
'In an interview with CNA on Saturday, Mr Chan said: “The way to
interpret the recent changes is this, we are making a move towards
quality, rather than quantity … and this is what we have done
progressively over the years.
“Whenever the economic
conditions require it, we will progressively adjust the qualifying
salaries for the foreign employees coming into Singapore because in
doing this, we raise the headroom for Singaporeans to compete while at
the same time, it doesn’t affect the really top tier of talent that we
want to attract from the world.”
He added: “But for those jobs that are somewhere in the middle where fellow Singaporeans are more than able to do so, then there’s less need for us to attract so many (foreigners) into Singapore.”'
