CECA Indians infested local companies. MOM did not know about it till now, or did not think it was important enough till now

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.

NotMyProblem:

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 Over the last decade the locals have all been replaced by South Asian village people and then more recently by Hong Kong refugees.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.”'

  1. The real enemies of the working class true blue Sinkies are the MOM and the employers who always want to hire cheaper foreigners.

  2. Can MOH escape? There is nothing the PAP cannot escape from. For example, how did TCB failed to contest the Presidential election? There was the geniune fear that if he becomes President, he will be asking lots of questions, questions that he was already asking before his exit from the Party he was in. They neutralised his attempt by changing the law.

    If nothing else, there is the law to play with anyway.

  4. Chan Chun Sing said this in CNA.

    '“While we accept that we don't yet have enough … talent in these (high-growth) sectors, we will do what we can to ramp up the production and training of our people as fast as we can,” said Mr Chan, noting that this includes the retraining of middle-aged workers to help them transition into burgeoning industries.

    “It will take us some time to ramp up the production and training of our people, but we will get there,” he said.'

    See, only he can see the problem and knows how to tackle it. Unfortunately he is still not the PM and cannot do anything about it. It could be very different if he was the PM earlier. He could have told the whole jin gang to get their asses moving long ago.

    Hopefully now that he has said it, things will start to move. It is better late than never. How many years we have lost sitting on their asses and not training the Singaporeans for these high value jobs?

  5. MOM is not just enemy of local workers. They are traitors to true blue Sinkies.

    They opened the gates wide to let in the foreigners, who now threatened to take over all the good jobs.

  6. I like this best.

    'The Government will “go all out” to do so, he added, by pulling in investments to create good jobs for Singaporeans and ensuring a “fair-level playing field”.

    On the latter, he stressed that Singapore has “zero tolerance for discrimination of any kind”, adding that companies that have done so will be investigated and penalised in the form of having their foreign work passes curtailed.' Chan Chun Sing

    Quickly, make him the PM so that Singapore don't tolerate discrimination anymore and companies will be penalised. I will love him if he were to say close down those companies and send them packing, or prosecute the CEOs and put them behind bars for discriminating against Singaporeans in Singapore.

  7. How to train them now that they are still stuck with 4G (technically speaking) while Huawei is already foraging into 6G. By the time we train them in 5G, Huawei will be into 7G. Moreover the lost generation is already too old to adapt.

    It is because he is not the PM that he dares to talk like that. But behind the scene, who knows what he thinks of local Sinkies!

  8. The Government will “go all out” to do so by pulling in investments to create good jobs for Singaporeans.

    Temasek and GIC invest heavily in India to create good jobs for India nationals.

    Why can't Temasek and GIC invest heavily in Singapore instead to create good jobs for Singaporeans, and lessen the need for the govt to try attracting investments from elsewhere?

    ReplyDelete
  9. GIC lost heavily in investments in Indian companies lately as someone pointed out recently.

    India is opening up and relaxing lockdowns, despite escalating infections. They will overtake the US in infections eventually. Like the US, they are desperate to restart the economy. But one thing is for sure. You cannot do away with lockdowns and open up without first controlling the virus. It will be suicidal.

      Why the furry of activities after the GE ?

      Even now NTUC Secretary General talked tough.

      The Daft Sinkies should have voted in more OPPO MPs like TCB, LT and Tamiba and CSJ and you can see their kanang kabok activities to change.

      Now, after the GE, what's the fark for?

      Damages had ALREADY been done long long time ago.

      Wait for another five years.

  14. “In 2018, we have more than 650 companies in Singapore that have invested in India. At home, these companies employ more than 100,000 Singaporeans and PRs (permanent residents),” said the minister, Chan Chun Sing.

    I think he got the numbers all wrong. If not because of these 650 companies investing in India, not sure physically there or putting some money here and there, the 100,000 locals would not be employed. So lucky. But because of CECA, not only 100,000 locals got employed, if each has a family of 4, then 400,000 locals benefited from CECA. And these 400,000 now got money to spend, so the shops and food and services also benefited. So all in all, the whole of Singapore benefited from CECA.

    Be grateful for having this great and beneficial agreement. Be grateful and don't complain about the Indians coming here because of CECA and replacing a few PMETs. Many hundreds of thousands of Singaporeans benefited from this agreement.

    Now stop complaining against CECA and Indians working here. Stop the new measures to stop them from coming in or Singapore will become a third world country with no growth and PMETs having no jobs.

    I think MOM should be investigated by the CPIB. IF People's corruption (a subsidiary under Temasek, which is solely owned by the Ministry of Finance) can go on for thirteen years and government agency had detected it, I think we cannot rule out that somebody inside MOM could not have been involved in any round about way of covering up any hanky lanky happened behind the scene.

  17. Hahaha!

    You think ministers say the same thing in public versus behind the scenes?!?!?

    Now they say what you want to hear and you all gong gong believe them?!?!?!?

    Those who have relatives in ministries at deputy director & above, go and ask them for the truth.

    Anyway, I am very happy that PAP open leg & let in 2 million foreigners over the last 20 years.

    Thanks to these 2M foreigners, S'pore's economy has performed much better than Matland, Thai, Indo over the last 20 years.

    I have also benefited much & already gained financial independence with a few million dollars suitable for a humble lifestyle here.

    With ongoing recession & price deflation, of course PAP willing to "go local".

    But when economy recovers & inflation comes back & companies keep complaining about uncompetitive costs, you will see govt open floodgates again, just like during 1990s & 2000s.

  18. This CECA thingy is not the only ill that has been conceived to hoodwink the majority daft Sinkie voters.

    There are many other ills such as the ERP to replace Road Tax, POFMA to suppress whistle-blowers, Asset Enhancement to give a false sense of value of 99-year leased HDB flats, and most sickening of all, the endless schemes to delay,siphon and deplete our hard-earned CPF savings.

    The only solution to all these ills is to change the complicated too-smart-for-its-people government with an average government that is sincere and straight-forward.

  20. The Silly Logic Of Singapore's Employment Strategy

    Let it be very clear in our head:

    1. No sovereign and sensible country in the world would allow foreigners to invade its territory in any form, any way, any how.

    2. No intelligent and wise government worth its salt would allow foreign job hunters to come into the country to dominate and overwhelm its tiny job market.

    3. No caring and patriotic leader would allow foreign scavengers to steal and rob in broad daylight the rice-bowls (their only means of livelihood) of his own countrymen.

    4. No decent brain would think of providing an avenue for the influx of alien 'talents' from a third world country (that has more than one billion mouths to feed) to infiltrate, invade, infest and imbalance the employment equilibrium within its beloved country and jeopardise the livelihood and survival of its own citizens.

    Now, take a closer and deeper look into the employment strategy of Singapore. What do you think it is? It is at the very least, silly.

    Recently, the Chief of the Monetary Authority of Singapore, Ravi Menon openly stated, and therefore confirmed that 57% of senior management from the banking sector are foreign employees.

    The 57% is a good indication that the banking industry clearly prefers foreigners than Singaporeans. How has the employment situation in this lucrative sector stealthily crept up to this unhealthy state? Someone must be sleeping.

    Are Singaporeans really less educated, less well-trained, less qualified, less intelligent and therefore less competitive? Are our universities producing misfit and unfit graduates that can't even compete with third world village pumpkins with nicely printed papers from Degree Mills?

    In the past 15 years, since CECA was signed to secure a steady supply of very hungry food hunters from India, the government had openly, earnestly and relentlessly discouraged Singaporeans from pursuing a degree. Many Junior Colleges have been deliberately closed down.

    Recently retired Minister Khaw Boon Wan proudly and crudely said,

    “You own a degree, but so what? You can’t eat it. If that cannot give you a good life, a good job, it is meaningless. Can you have a whole country where 100 percent are graduates? I am not so sure ... What you do not want is to create huge graduate unemployment.” (Straits Times; 18 May 2013).

    Yes, no smart government would want a 100% graduate population. It would be very difficult for the government to cater jobs for all of them. Moreover, there would be too many smart thinking and analytical people to scrutinise the competency and quality of the leadership in government. This is understandable.

    We have always thought that too many graduates in Singapore is not a good thing. But now we learn that 57% of senior bankers are foreign 'talents‘. The question is: How many of this 57% are graduates?

    Can we take it that EP holders are mostly graduates? If so, then why does the government keep discouraging us from pursuing a degree and yet allow jobs that require degree holders to go to foreigners with degrees?

    I simply can't imagine that a self-proclaimed "caring and outstanding" government can purposely weaken its own workforce by discouraging the citizens from attaining higher education (a basic degree) which would definitely enable them to compete on equal footing in a global economy.

    "Go for mastery of skills, said Tharman (Business Times, 18 Sep 2014). And what else did the other Ministers, such as the Trade and Industry Minister and the NTUC Chief (who has been kicked out by the voters in the last GE), said? They said similar things.

    Our Universities have been boasting to the world how good they are, even claiming to be Top 10 in Asia, yet these very same Universities cannot even produce top-notch PMETs, such as IT professionals and Bankers? Shameful? Of course!

    Think:

    Is there any other silly government in the world that purposely weakens it’s own workforce and then bring in foreigners to occupy the lucrative top jobs?

  21. Yes, the Silly PAPa even wanted to replace the CEO and Executive Director of Temasek Holdings with the CIA Operative Chip Goodyear. Lucking Ho Ching happens to be the PM's wife, so she managed to keep her dual posts until now.

    However, Temasek Holdings now also still suffer from the same disease, even worse than before. Now 48% of its Top, Middle and Bottom workforce have been infiltrated by foreigners. Don't know how many of them are CIA operatives.

    Our security and intelligence people have been sleeping for a very long, long time until Keppel's Corruption case had been going on for 13 years, yet they did not discover it. Only discovered by the US Justice Department and the Brazilian Anti-graft Division. It could be the tip of the iceberg. Who knows? Nobody is the wiser.

    How many more funny and silly cases are going on behind the scene? Your guess is as good as mine.

  28. While Singapore leaders are anxiously and eagerly planning to spend billions of dollars of taxpayers money to build statues and monuments to remember their expired leaders, an increasing number of statues of controversial historical leaders around the world have been toppled in recent months.

    Heated public debates over how societies should remember leaders tied to negative legacies such as the practice of inexcusable and despicable slavery, the terror and horror of empire building and blatant bullying of White Supremacists' racism.

    What's the best thing to do with unwanted statues?

    In the US, statues of Christopher Colombus and the Confederate leaders were removed.

    In the UK monuments to prominent slave traders have been taken down.

    In Belgium, protesters defaced the statues of King Leopold II because of his deadly legacy in his colonised country now known as the Democratic Republic of Congo.

    The best thing to do about unwanted statues and monuments is not to build any statues and monuments in the first place. The money and efforts thus saved can be utilised to make life better for the living, instead of honouring the dead.

      In time to come, these popular statues and busts and figurines may be pulled down or destroyed when the maases found out their hidden scandals into the open.
