WSG subsequently contacted the company in question for clarification and the post was amended at 2.25pm on Sep. 9, three weeks after it had been first put up on the MyCareersFuture portal on August 26.
The Tripartite Alliance for Fair & Progressive Employment Practices (TAFEP) is also expected to follow up with the employer to review its employment practices....
In emphasising that it took a serious view of the matter, WSG stated that all Singapore-based jobs and related posts must be aligned with the Tripartite Guidelines on Fair Employment Practices (TGFEP).
It elaborated that under TGFEP, it is "discriminatory" to exclude Singaporeans or indicate preference for non-Singaporeans during the hiring process, which includes job advertisements.
Such breaches will also be referred by TAFEP to the Ministry of Manpower for the "appropriate" action to be taken against the employer.
Above is from www.mothership.sg Does Singapore need such companies that prefer to hire westerners/Europeans and not Singaporeans? What can WSG/TAFEP do about it? What is MOM going to do about it? A company that does not want to hire Singaporeans, even if they remove the add would not make any difference with their intent.
MOM or the Singapore govt must make it clear that such companies are not welcomed in Singapore and take decisive actions to ask them to operate elsewhere. Singapore is for Singaporeans and companies that are not working for Singaporeans have no reason to be here.
Get them out of Singapore.
Below is posted in an article in TOC.
Companies caught for pre-selecting foreign job applicants and didn’t conduct any local job interviews
Together with the announcement of harsher penalties for discriminatory hiring practices in January this year, MOM named a few companies caught for flouting FCF.
One company, Ti2 Logistics Pte Ltd, was caught for making a false declaration to MOM. It submitted an EP application for a foreign job applicant for the position of business development manager. It had also advertised for the position of accounts manager on the Jobs Bank.
For the former role, it made a false declaration that it had interviewed two Singaporeans and considered candidates fairly when it had not done so. For second role, the firm also treated the job advertising requirement under the FCF as a paper exercise, posting a job description unrelated to the actual job.
In reality, it had already pre-selected an EP applicant for the business development position and had no intention to interview any Singaporean candidates. MOM charged the company with one count of making a false declaration to the Controller of Work Passes in its EP application. It has also been debarred from hiring new EP holders or renewing existing work passes for two years.
Like Ti2 Logistics, two other companies also did not interview any locals even though they had put up advertisements on Jobs Bank. Before putting up the job advertisement, Meyer Burger (Singapore) Pte Ltd had already interviewed a foreigner overseas and deemed him suitable for a process engineer post in Singapore. It then advertised the position on Jobs Bank for the purpose of applying an EP for him.
Meyer Burger did not carry out any interviews since it had already made up its mind to hire the foreign worker. The job advertisement was posted solely to make an EP application. MOM debarred the company from hiring new EP holders or renewing existing work passes for two years.
Tarantula Global Holdings Pte Ltd similarly submitted an EP application for the position of senior IT support engineer. Like Meyer Burger and Ti2 Logistics, the company had pre-selected the EP applicant, who was a former employee of an affiliated overseas company. It put up a job advertisement, but likewise did not interview any candidates other than the chosen one. The company was debarred by MOM from hiring new EP holders or renewing existing work passes for 12 months.
Another company, Nihon Premium Clinic Pte Ltd, submitted an EP application for the position of regional customer development manager. It omitted listing critical key criteria in its job advertisement like the ability to speak fluent Japanese and Mandarin, when they were actually required for the job.
As a result, none of the job applications submitted was suitable for consideration as the local job applicants did not know that fluency in Japanese and Mandarin was required. Instead, an EP applicant recommended by one of the company’s shareholders was deemed suitable after an interview.

Tell that to TarMan, Kee Chiu and Orr Yew Tang.
They will tell you it's their perogratives that they wanted to employ their Specialists and that Sinkies are not qualified for these jobs.
Sinkies are duds and Sia suay to demand that they must have these jobs.
You know how qualified we are compared to you duds?
So don't insist that you must be employed in these jobs.
Be open and inclusive and good for Singapore.
They are here to create more jobs for you or else they will compete against you and it's be our lost.
So don't kpkb.
You are not qualified enough.
Only idiots and daft Sinkies get easily conned by the fork-tongue talkers' nonsensical exertion without proof that foreigners are here to create jobs for you.
Even greater idiots will also believe the con men who sprout that if we don't allow them to come on and take away your rice bowls then they will compete against you.
There are 8 billion people in this world. How many of the 8 billion can Singapore take in? Another 4.2 million, so as to increase the total population to 10 million? Even if Singapore has 10 million people, there are still 7.999 billion people out there to compete against you!
So don't listen to that fraud argument that if you don't allow them in, they will compete against you.
These foreign companies want to locate to Singapore to enjoy the secure environment of the city state provided by our NSFs but don't want to hire Singaporeans. What is PAP Whip Putucherry's view?
The Whip?
The Whip only to whip Singaporeans.
WSG wayang Only.
These been happenings long line time ago.
Why now this HooHa?
Because hundred over thousands Sinkies are going to starve.
That's why.
Virgo making this statement they will use law against falsehood on you. Plus I hope your ass is tough enough to tahan tuakee lor
Changing ad no use as at the end the result is the same. Mom can check who got hire at the end
You did not read the statistics how many thousands plus how many thousands first quarter and second quarters and grand mothers quarters jobless?
Even their figures, I don't trust them. Did not know even how to add?
They must put a sweetner, anyway companies still hiring and many sectors still employing?
Kid who?
Only dafts like you fears mongers.
Asshole bandits simply love to screw assholes. That's why the word sodomy is stuck in their deviant freak brains. Always talk about sodomy. Nothing else. These are sick people, in body and mind, really.
Sg Gov should allow dual citizenships , abolished useless NS and there will be many westerners singaporeans.
Chinese companies in Singapore such as Tencent, Alibaba, ByteDance must not hire CECA India nationals as they pose security risks to the companies given the current China-India border conflict.
Hi Anon.12.29
Hopefully so. These are Tech Companies.
But Construction Companies different.
They have to depend very much on the Indian workers.
Or maybe as supplied by our local contractors who took great advantage in these low paying poor souls exploited Indian workers and supplied to the Main Cons of China.
My estate just next to the old ex KTM.Rails and now under China Construction in the Circle Line.
One time, Indians had conflicts with China at the Borders.
I told the Engineers and Foremen of China Construction why you hiring these Indian Workers who gave so much troubles at the Borders?
They told me it's their contractors.
Anyway, they said it had nothing to do with the Indian construction workers here as they are NOT the ones who gave them the shits. Just here for earning a living.
We would still employ them if needed ourselves.
See how maganimous the PRCs are.
You think the Indians would do likewise?
Not on your lifes.
Yet, Asian bananas and natives still ingrained in them prejudices that the Chinese are a aggressive Race.
I think when they say foreigners create jobs for Sinkies, this is what they mean.
But they did not foresee that the jobs created mostly went to citizens of those countries that the foreign companies came from.
Our smart talents covered their front, but left their rear opened and got played out. They were out maneuvered, just like the CECA.
Singapore is finished. Won't last another 20 years.
Those who can had better made plans to move out to a bigger solid country. This tiny piece of rock is basically for making as much money as you can and then scoot off to somewhere else.
All foreigners who come here, even the low-wage, treated like kings, Banglas also think the same way. Nobody wants to stay for good, except those who run away from their country of origin to escape crimes they have committed before or to escape tax.
That's why there are so many PRs. That's why the cunning Gabrament counts PRs as locals.
Even Malaysian Chinese who work here. Everyone of them that I have asked the question whether they want to become Citizens of Singapore, they said they prefer to remain as Malaysians because they can buy land and cheap houses, not flats. And cost of living is very much lower than Singapore. And they can travel inter-state to many places, instead of getting hooked up on just a small tiny piece of rock. A concrete jungle.
After Lee Sien Tao, there is no more leeders worth their salt around. The 4G is a bunch of obedient followers. "Pay correct, Sir" type of jelly fish characters. Only jaga their rice bowl. Great pretenders without conscience. Even the Tar Man and Pinocchio are great pretenders.
The greatest pretender is none other than the Dead Wood, terribly greedy and big hypocrite. Totally no moral and ethical values. Opportunistic and serious lack of self-respect. Cunning and crafty like fox and snake combined.
'After Lee Sien Tao, there is no more leeders worth their salt.'
You
mean Lee Sien Tao is worth multi millions per year ?
Very salty and worthy to run Sin ?
Singapore’s foreign worker policies are shifting towards “quality rather than quantity” but the country still welcomes foreign talent, said Minister for Trade and Industry Chan Chun Sing on Tuesday (Sep 8).
Mr Chan, who was speaking at a virtual forum organised by Standard Chartered, noted that there has been much talk on the issue of foreigners in Singapore, but said that this scrutiny is not unique to Singapore.
“Every country facing economic slowdown in (a) recession will have elements questioning the balance between locals and foreigners in the job market,” Mr Chan said.
Singapore will continue to bring in foreign talent “in a calibrated manner” to create opportunities for Singaporeans, he added.
“Let me be clear. We want the world’s best and brightest to be with Team Singapore – to augment our skills and capabilities, competing on our side rather than against us, and ultimately, to benefit Singaporeans, not to substitute or to hurt them.”
That was an example of a person speaking in tongue - fork tongue - a doubble talk that is neither here nor there. If Cotton Come From Sheep Xia Shuay Chan Kee Chiu was thinking of allaying the fear and suspicions of Singaporeans, he is pathetically mistaken. What he said does not mean a thing to Singaporeans, except to cast more doubts upon the already their future.
