A Senior Human Resource Leader wrote online that she was called out for “insubordination” when she insisted on hiring Singaporean PMETs.
In a post on employment-oriented online service LinkedIn, the woman, who said she was a senior HR leader for the last decade, wrote: “It’s a sad day when citizens face discrimination for jobs in their own country. When you have to hire a Singaporean to improve diversity”.
She added, “In the last decade as a senior HR leader, I’ve had bosses who “strongly recommended” that I look at CVs of foreigners when I had already interviewed qualified locals for an open role”.
“I’ve been called out for insubordination when I insisted on building a Singapore core of PMETs within the company”, she wrote.
She said that she had also set through Succession Planning panels where “expatriate Directors openly say that “No Asian will lead in this place; it’ll be a disaster!””
The woman wrote: “All I ask is that employers give Singaporeans a fair chance by actively seeking, interviewing and fairly evaluating local candidates too”.
Her post was circulated on social media, where many netizens agreed with her and said that they too had faced discriminatory practices during hiring.
The above is posted in theindependent.sg. This is the reality happening in Singapore when foreign companies and foreign CEOs insisted on hiring foreigners rather than Singaporeans. When is the MOM and the govt going to be serious in looking after the interests of Singaporeans who voted them to be the govt and to look after Singaporeans and not foreigners and foreign interest?
Everyone must keep screaming about such discrimination against Singaporeans in Singapore and pass the message around that if nothing is done to protect Singaporeans, then vote this govt out in the next GE. This cannot go on and on with Singaporeans being victims of hiring practices and made jobless or unemployed by foreigners.
Remember to vote them out in the next GE if nothing is done to protect Singaporeans.
It is so shameful and pathetic to be a Singaporean and to have a govt that allowed this to happen to Singaporeans. During Goh Keng Swee's time he demanded that bank CEOs must be Singaporeans. Our little boys and girls got no balls to be national leaders to stand up to foreigners? Would they need someone to hold their hands to talk to foreign CEOs?
Also appearing in theindependent.sg is PSP showing concern about such discrimination against Singaporeans. Looks like PSP and the opposition are the ones that are willing to protect Singaporeans.
'On seeing another 47 employers being added to the list, the PSP pointed out that, despite the implementation of the FCF, discriminatory practices remained prevalent on the employment front.
It highlighted that Singapore was not exempt from the negative economic repercussions brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic and that job stability was crucial for the people in these uncertain times.
It said: “Albeit the best efforts by FCF, it is disheartening to note that local employers are still flouting the guidelines and this calls for greater affirmative action by the authorities.”
It also promised to highlight these issues in the various forums and platforms....'
Who allowed such discrimination to happen for so long, adversely affecting so many Singaporeans and not doing anything about it?

That is part of bits and pieces of the overall picture. Look at the big elephant in the room: Temasek Holdings, being steered by none other than the PM's wife.
Temasek Holdings is employing more and more foreigners both at the top and also overall as a company. At present, 48% are foreigners and only 52% are locals.
If Temasek Holdings, the government's owned private limited company, is leading in the charge to employ more and more foreigners, where is MOM going from there?
What is MOM really doing for Singaporeans?
Does MOM even has a day in the issue?
In the 60s even when Singapore is poor and needed FOREIGN investments badly, Goh Keng Swee had the balls and guts to tell them that we needed to have our people employed. That's why you are here. Win win you made your profits and our people employed even though they are paid little.
Now, the balless Leaders of today's generations in the name of globalisation allowed them to hire and fire as they wishes.
The Unions are been muffled with No Strikes Orders unless agreed by the also balless Wayang Balless Union Chiefs.
One good example when the Union Chief is no more in the Cabinet and that Americunts Eagle Services wanted to terminate MORE Singaporeans than others and the now Kamikaze Union Chief threatened STRIKE.
Finally they agreeded 61% Sinkies and 39% foreigners to be employed.
You think they woke up at this last moment?
Only they knew with more and more Singaporeans unemployed, it's gonna be a political cause in the future.
Not that they are concerned.
The only first person who wanted to strike decades ago is Mr Ong Teng Cheong, our ex President.
With balless Leaders of today who succumbed to the whims and fancies of these Employers, Sinkies are Dead Meat.
We are very furious with the PAP elites and very angry with the 61.24% ! Another five years of seething frustration !
Does MOM even have any say on the issue?
Our distinguished retired top civil servant Ngiam Tong Dow has passed on to the Heavenly Realm at the age of 83.
Mom oh Mum or Mumb can only said please please or else we put you on Unfair Employments Black lists.
Employers sniggling and shown their middle fingers
Ngiam is a good man. Think of Singaporean interest first, like most of the first generation leaders. Not like the current bunch of traitors.
Through their speeches and propaganda those ruling party politicians have somehow psychologically always induce fear among the silly citizens not to vote for opposition candidates who though may have even higher qualifications and better talents than the ruling party candidates.
If the ruling party continues to perfunctorily serve the blue citizens and ignore their plight than the mandate of Heaven must kick in and that is the almighty in Heaven will allow the people to rise up to overthrow the self-serving government.
It is really disgusting that before and during the elections they promise the people the high heavens of prosperity and good care but once elected they call themselves natural aristocrats and kick the citizens down the road to hell while they continue in their old ways of self-aggrandizement in enjoying a pompous life of glory and grandeur.
They are really abominable rogues and scoundrels who deserve to die a painful death and be cursed for generations for betraying the trust of the people.
A victim of the conspiracy
The obscene secret remunerations (at least ten times of her husband) of the one who has been making lots of arrogant grunts on Facebook, the concubine of the Emperor without clothes, that dare not to come out in the broad daylight to meet public scrutiny, is the most glaring and sickening thing. Yet the people are absolutely clueless and powerless to do anything about it. Hide from the public the amount she has been paid every year throughout the last 15 years. Get rich at CPF savers' expense?
If, as evidence suggests, this displacement of Singaporeans by foreigners is by design by the PAP, it is not likely that they will change. Only the citizens can effect the change by voting for leaders who work for them and not for foreigners.
It is quite clear, the PAP is only interested in staying in power forever. This is their primary goal.
All the talks about taking care of the voters are a big bullshit. They are not really care for the well-being and welfare of the people.
Hi
Please remember.... pap got 61% at the GE just recently!
A massive 61%✓. Not 16%!
Hahaha......
Halimah Yaakub said 'Discrimination in any 'form' has no place in Singapore'.
Really? What does she call the years of discrimination for Hougang residents for voting WP, compared to PAP wards? Even saying that opposition wards will be last on the list for anything not a 'form' of discrimination? And the most sinister part is that when the last on the list turn came, they discontinue with the policy at exactly the right time.
And talking about Hougang, what about the discriminatory treatment of opposition MPs in their usage of national assets for 'meet the people' sessions for example. No discrimination? None so blind as those who would not see!
Hi Singaporeans, you get what you voted for. 61% of Singaporeans voted for the PAP. Economy is far more important than the welfare of the people. To achieve this economic growth, CECA is essential.
I am sure no 61% voters would visit this blog for the truth. The truth hurts and if they voted for PAP and read the comments, they have no face to say 'ouch, it hurts'.
In any case the resident Sodomiser will make sure it really hurts!
Not just 61%, a clear mandate to pap to form the government! And a BLANK CHEQUE too!
Hahaha......
Oil rig.existed. for years.
Yet nobody see. Stupidity has no cure. Dumb asses.
Random Thoughts Of The Day
Sights of injustice in our midst, getting from bad to worse, have led me to the following random thoughts:
Question:
What is the difference between nepotism and cronyism?
Answer: Nepotism refers to partiality to family whereas cronyism refers to partiality to an associate or friend.
Question: What is favoritism?
Answer: Favoritism, the broadest of the terms, refers to partiality based upon being part of a favored group, rather than job performance. Meritocracy based on favoritism is not meritocracy but corrupted thoughts and despicable deeds of the highest order.
Question: Are double-standards, ill-will, subtle coercion and indirect corruption rampant in our society, any society?
Answer: As long as there are scoundrous men and women existing to take advantage of and exploit others for own selfish interests, double-standards, ill-will, coercion, corruption and intimidation will exist anywhere, without exception.
Question: Are manipulation and propaganda, both aimed at altering the mind of others, derived from a corrupted mind?
Answer: Manipulation is direct intervention of others' mind, while propaganda is indirect and subtle interference of others' thinking.
Question: Is skewed interpretation of the laws, in favour of one party against another, a kind of corrupt behaviour?
Answer: Yes, it is not only corrupted behaviour but also corrupted mind.
Question: Why is there a need for more and more new laws, rules and regulations?
Answer: The more the authorities create new laws to protect themselves, instead of safeguarding and protecting thethe people's rights, the more the system is corrupted. Competent and honest authorities do not need more new laws and regulations and rules to tie down the masses' freedom in any form.
Question: What type of leaders have the tendency to create and issue more and more new laws, decrees, orders, rules, and regulations?
Answer: New laws, decrees, rules and regulations are usually issued by fearful, incompetent and inefficient leaders with a serious lack of self-confidence and self-respect.
Owing to the serious lack of self-respect, leaders' speech and action usually display a blatant lack of respect for others, especially to the commoners. This situation can be easily seen in the way society is divided into elites vs commoners, powerful vs powerless, filthy rich vs exploited poor, arrogant and haughty wives of high ranking leaders vs meek housewives of the commoners.
A society devoid of wisdom and compassion is a society condemned. Such a society breeds high horses and black mares, many of whom do not really deserve their position but were propped up by unfair means and dishonesty disguised as fair and honest.
Wool cannot cover the eyes and block the vision for long. Wool has perforations that allow the eyes to peek through its entangled mesh. Pulling wool over the eyes of the masses is the most short-sighted stupidity.
Those skilled in deception deceive without deceiving. That is the ultimate art of the crooked human mind that has been regularly grind and polished to shine and outshine.

5.45pm anon don't anyhow say to mislead people unless u wanted to be sodomized jialat jialat
Wonder what happened to the 70% going to 75% broken record. Probably outdated record that no one wants to buy to listen to now.
The new broken record will probably sing the 61% going to 51% in 2025.
MOM should look into this case!
Look only ok, but will they see?
Already they only hear, but do not listen!
