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?

Actually only a minority of sinkies whose jobs kena stolen. Most sinkies still able to have jobs and even big increments, big bonuses.
You see everywhere upscale malls & michelin restaurants all fully packed, even with covid. 5-star hotels like Fullerton, Capella, Ritz Carlton, Shangrila staycation all sold out within 24 hours.
$2M and $3M condos selling like hot cakes. People have so much cash & salary that $2M is like only $200.
So really only those really lousy & cannot do work then their jobs kena makan. So far only very small minority.
Next time Singapore won't bother to track people by race. Instead will track by SES standard. Based on info from IRAS, CPF, SLA, URA, HDB, bank records. No more CMIO on nric. Will be A, B, C, or D for top 25% SES to bottom 25% SES.
As keechiu says, Singapore going for quality not quantity.
Many sinkies still with good jobs & high pay.
More than $300,000 cash before 30yo.
Even after buying & renovating HDB.
Now aiming to save $600,000 cash by 35yo.
Now you know why so many sinkies all rushing to buy multi-million dollar condos. Cheap! Cheap!
There is no such thing as a permanent agreement. There must be a way to abolish unfavourable agreements by giving say 6 months notice without penalty. The only question is whether you actually want to do it
What unfavourable agreements? The people that signed it said it is very good. So why would they want to abolish it? You would have to abolish them first before you can abolish the agreement.
Don't read too much into the comments of that Mentally Sick attention seeker dreamer bogus Millioniare.
Sick in the mind.
Don't waste your previous time.
If Sinkies are so rich as what's he said, there is no need for the government to roll out a 100 million AID.
Need millions to survive in Sinkieland.
So, 99 percent of Sinkies need to sky jump every day to meet their survivals.
Need millions Hades Monies may be ok in Seventh Month.
Our Universities have been boastful, claiming to be top 10 in Asia, yet these very same Universities cannot produce IT professionals and perhaps now, cannot produce Bankers? Tell me, which government in the world, weakens it’s own workforce and then bring in foreigners to occupy the top jobs?

Traitors do that. And they do it blatantly – giving scholarships to foreigners, reserving places in the universities for them and guaranteeing them jobs on graduation. Govt entities lead by example by employing large numbers of foreigners, in some cases prioritising them over citizens.

My son graduated from a Polytechnic with a technical Diploma and cannot even get into any of the six Universites in Singapore. My elder son who is in NTU mentioned that there were too many Indians, Pinoys and other foreign students studying at NTU.
Is the Ministry Of Education looking after Singaporean welfare ?
Looks like I Have to spend my retirement money to send him to an oversea University. WTF PAP ?
Sin is sold
and
Sinkies pawned.
Betrayal and Treachery on the
People by the Leeders the People have chosen to lead.
How
to explain for such a queer phenomenon ?
Are
the People asking for it ?
Funny, right ?
Remember the fate of George Yeo, the Indian hero worshiper who was given a seat in his favourite Buddhist University in India where he raised a lot of funds for its construction?
He got booted out by the snakes that he prayed to. Now lan lan singing a different tune.

Govt signed off CECA Without realising how it screwed own Singaporeans. Sinkie PMETs end up paying the price losing their jobs to foreigners from SAsia. Who can they blame if they keep voting for an incompetent Govt hat have been screwing them all this while. And a sleeping MOM that blindly signs off Work passes for foreigners. I’ll tell these unthinking PMETs to continue drive Grab or do Grab delivery until they wake up from their slumber. They deserve what they voted for.
Right you are Bro.
My son years back after obtaining a Poly Diploma in IT applied to Sin Unis for a degree course.
Even sat for a couple SATs tests.
No way they give a chance for our Poly grads.
Preferred to sponsor trashes from overseas.
Thinking that they be beholden and be forever grateful to them even with jobs assured to be PRs.
Deprivation of own locals citizens places in Unis and even jobs.
On their flimist reasons not to sponsor twice our citizens education.
Same time coaxing them to upgrade.
Now, they opened more places to Poly grads.
My son had to take a degree from Aussie Uni.
Paying out cash from our CPF's payouts.
Now with both Diploma and Degree also no job security in this current lop sided sideline jobs markets.
The farking government is a real traitor to our own citizens
Now already a nomad in wandering land.
Karma haunted him.
PAP ministers and MPs just too afraid to be thrown out as they would be like him
Only fit for Food Delivery Men and Women or Grab private drivers.
A majority govt looking after minority interests? Many years ago, PAP controlled the number of medical students and still is. Now you are more likely to encounter an expat doctor,usually Indian or Pinoy at G hospitals.
Yes! Anonymous 1134am...
If you are seen by them, good luck to you.....

How not to slip into third world mediocrity?
South chinese are the labourer & merchant class. They do the work & know how to make money.
North chinese are the political & general class. They rule & conquer & know how to raise armies.
This is someone's simplification to replace the southern Chinese and southern Indians with northern Chinese and northern Indians.
And another one's simplification to replace all the Sinkies with the best in the world.
People who are born in a no country and do not know the importance of a country or a motherland would sell their country and motherland away without no sense of guilt.
"My son graduated from a Polytechnic with a technical Diploma and cannot even get into any of the six Universites in Singapore"
"My son years back after obtaining a Poly Diploma in IT applied to Sin Unis for a degree course"
That's becoz your son results are lousy. Simple as that. I got just an average 3.7 GPA for my poly diploma & I got 2 offers from NUS and NTU. Many of my friends getting 3.6 to 4.0 GPA also all got offers from local Unis.
" I’ll tell these unthinking PMETs to continue drive Grab or do Grab delivery until they wake up from their slumber"
Wrong. Those doing Grab or Foodpanda already woken up. But too late liao. They were sleeping when they still got high paying jobs. They became too lackluster, too mediocre, too lazy, too full, too ungrateful. After that kena fired.
Love ❤️ yourself.....
Be kind to others.....
Always......
Don't bullshits lah!
Go in beacuse of connections. Forever pompous boastings think great of himself just because he thought he had good grades.
Tak see chek. Alamak Senior rightfully said Degrees so what? You can eat meh?
Without gainfully employed, you are nothing worse than a tramp.
PAP stooges and por lam pars.
At that time, they made it real damming for Poly Grads to enter local unis.
As they reserved these places for their Papies stooges and their supposed foreign students.
Thinking that when they graduated, they be working here under bonds depriving our locals from these their deserved jobs.
Or if they go back, they be grateful and be mindful of priorities in their dealings with Singapore businesses or governmental matters.
Not knowing that these leeches leeched Sinkies and have sex videos and having wonderful lives even with financial supports form our traitous government.
Just to add.
When they are back. They shown their middle fingers to the Papies.
They have their own countries and their nationalities to take care of.
Blood is thicker than water.
Wasting millions if NOT billions on these leeches.
No wonder Matland Taxi and Pirates taxis drivers had high praises for the PAP government.
Saying their sons and daughters benefited so much from the PAP.
Praised sky high that they are the best Chinese Government.
But they don't take care of our Majority's Chinkees Sinkies
India's population in 2020 is 1,380,004,385 according to United Nations data. It is 17.7% of world population.
A trickle of 1% is 13,800,438 Indian nationals.
Singapore's population is only 5.7 million, comprising 3.5 million locals and 2.2 million PRs and Employment Pass holders.
So, to India, 1% may seem to be just a trickle but to Singapore, Indian's 1% is more than double Singapore's population, enough to overwhelm our whole country and destroys everything that we have painstakingly built with our hardworks over the last 55 years.
Take it even lower, let's focus on Indian's IT professionals alone. Let's say it's only 10% of that 1%, which means 1.38 million people! If you just flood Singapore with the 1.38 million Indian IT professionals, what will become of Singapore and her own people?
In addition, there are also the bankers, medical doctors and nurses, security consultants, education and research academics, etc - altogether 127 professions and occupations.
Multiply 127 by 1.38 million and anyone, don't need a mathematician to say, will be shocked what Singapore has stupidly entered into an agreement that it cannot chew. Deesspite our PM being a 1st Honours in Mathematics.
Preaching Yeh Sow?
Gospels of the White Men.
Be kind to others but we will.kill and conquer you.
You daft natives.
They can urinate down your back and tell you it's raining.
No wonder secretly they are planning for a 10 million population. Yet someone is trying very hard to debunk the "rumours" (read as leaks) as falsehood. Very clever and sneaky.
The Rape of Singapore akin to the Rape of Nanking !
What to do with silly people in charge?
New Delhi and other Indian cities will restart underground subway systems in September, despite coronavirus is spreading wildly in the country, local media reported. India could become another global epicenter of the disease.
5,997,164 US
3,862,311 Brazil
3,621,245 India
Majority of Singapore's imported COVID-19 cases is from India, almost on a daily basis. Why policy makers still not imposing ban on travelers from India?
Ask the silly people in charge.
Death Of a No-Mercy Indian President
Former President of India Pranab Mukherjee, also known as the worst Finance Minister of India and the President-Without-Mercy, has been mercilessly attacked by the COVID-19 coronavirus that infiltrated into his brain and caused a blood clot that ultimately cost his life, after 21 days in the intensive care unit of a top rate Indian hospital. He was already 84, anyway.
President-Sans-No-Mercy Pranab Mukherjee rejected 30 mercy petitions from death row convicts as India's President.
Before serving as president between 2012 and 2017, Merciless Mukherjee held several important portfolios during his 51-year political career..These included the commerce, finance, external affairs and defence ministries.
The job of a President of India is purely ceremonial but Merciless Mukherjee displayed his power by rejecting the mercy petitions of numerous people who had been sentenced to death rightly or wrongly.
Most of his career was with the Congress party which dominated Indian politics for more than 5 decades (like the PAP), before suffering two consecutive defeats to Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in 2014 and in 2019.
In 1986, he fell out of favour with the Congress Leadership and started his own political party, but failed to build up a political base and had to lick his wounds and returned to the Congress two years later.
Aa a parliamentarian for 37 years, Merciless Mukherjee's ambition of becoming India's Prime Minister never materialised. He was by-passed for the post twice.
His record as India's Finance Minister was terrible: the economy overheated, inflation peaked and interest rates went through the roof. Critics called him one of the "worst" finance ministers India ever had.
As the 13th President of India, Merciless Mukherjee rejected as many as 18 bills sent to him for assent, though Presidents generally do not reject bills sent to them.
He also rejected 30 mercy petitions from death row convicts - the highest by far of any Indian president. As a result, none who asked for mercy from him received any mercy.
That's why he is also known as the Merciless Mukherjee or the President-Without-Mercy of India.

They are typical loud mouth cocks, all noise but no substance.
Wait for China to teach them another lesson they will never forget.
1962 will be revisit them again.
Today with the modern media showing how aggressive they are, marching into Chinese camp to tear down army tents, and after being pushed back and killed, they turned around to blame China.
First class snakes.
Singapore is now flooded with snakes of all shapes and sizes and degree of toxicity - cobras, rattle snakes, vipers, 100-steps death snakes, umbrella snakes, and all the deadly fork-tongue snakes, etc.
We need to recruit a lot of snake hunters and pest-control ghost-busters in order to Make Singapore Safe Again (MSSA)!
First, we need to stop the gate-keepers from letting in all those snakes.
Next, we need to get rid of those sleeping and jia-liow-bee gate-keepers.
Third, we need to make the policy-makers change their policies or we have to replace them with patriotic Singaporeans.
Lastly, we need to get all the snakes out of our country and replace them with proper human beans.
That is the only way to go. There is no time to lose. Otherwise, in ten years time, Singaporeans will become migrant workers in construction and service industries in the Middle East, India and China.
