ST 25 Sep had an article titled 'Lack of local talent a big challenge for Singapore business'. What is pertinent in the survey is this, the respondents said the lack of local talent was the biggest challenge, but this was not the case in Taiwan, India, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Indonesia and Malaysia. And what are these talents they are referring to? Sales professionals, people skilled in technology business development, digital marketing and e-commerce.
Who or which organisation should be responsible to churn up such talents for the industries? The talents must be trained or educated and feed the market. The demands from the industries are ready talents, not talents that the industries would be producing or trained.The industries did not see it taking up the responsibility train talents for their own needs. Practically every organisation expects to fill their positions from trained and experienced people from the open market or from the rest of the world.
With this kind of mindset, the burden of providing educated and in some way trained talents must come from the institutions of higher learning, the polytechnics and universities. The irony here is that Singapore often boasts about its world class and very expensive universities, high fees because they are the best, at least better than the countries mentioned above. The why is it that these countries, with universities that mostly ranked at the tail end of surveys, are able to provide the talents but not Singapore?
A survey like this, and all craps coming out from employment agencies, even from third world countries, are as good as a dressing down on Singaporean talents, Singapore's institutions of higher learning. Useless universities, but very expensive, unable to provide talents for the industries. Are these real? Such smearing of local universities and their products is kind of being spread and supported even by the who's who in Singapore. Not only they did not dispute such disgusting smears, they also supported them by their actions, by employing foreigners to fill top management positions and often seen engaging foreign head hunters to hunt around the world for top management positions. And such disgraceful thoughts and comments are repeated quite often by the local media as if this is the truth, this is the fact, Singapore has no talents. Why are local media celebrating such lies, backing up such lies, like the survey mentioned above?
As long as the stupidity has no cure idiots keep allowing this narrative to go on and on, who would want to employ local graduates? On the other hand, the third world countries are praising their own graduates from their funny universities as better than Singapore graduates. And the Singapore;s idiotic who's who accept this without protest, without question, and happily filled even govt positions with funny foreign graduates from funny universities, including fakes and cheats.
What do all these mean to our institutions of higher learnings and Singapore education as a whole? Would it be cheaper and more productive to close them all down and send all our young to the funny universities around us, cheaper and better?
What do you think? What pay so much for a piece of a paper that cannot be eaten, and cannot get a good job?
PS. There are many Singaporean talents overseas but unable to return, unable to find equivalent positions in Singapore, simply because the imbeciles allowed the foreigners to set the narrative, to control the employment industry, to decide who is talent, who to be employed. This is a crime committed by the imbeciles against our very own talents, with many local PMETs now retrenched, unemployed, underemployed or forced to retire prematurely.

Very very beginning policies are already flawed.now then "look for toilet"
Education and moulding of the people as a force to be recognised internationally is one of the many failed missions in the legacy of Lee Kuan Yew due of his poor choice of a good leader to succeed him. His choices were limited because of his eagerness to make his own eldest son become the Prime Minister, a square peg squeezed into a round hole.
LHL is more suitable to be an academic professional, teaching in higher institutions of learning in mathematics. He was and is never good in politics, diplomacy and people-skills.
He is by nature good in numbers and digits. He is not good in selecting quality leaders to help him govern because of his inability to tolerate and accommodate dissenting and maverick views.
Therefore, he surrounds himself with sycophantic loyalists instead of real quality leaders. Owing to this critical factir, his team has been unable to raise the standard of living of his people on the one hand but only good in increasing the cost of living on the other.
In the formulation and implementation of many of his myopic, nationally unintegrated and piece-meal policies, he has failed his father, his predecessors, his people and his country miserably.
Education is the epitome and the zenith of all his failures. The long-term leadership succession is the second. CECA is the third.
Help us, God!
Queen of Hearts.
Running the country by a bunch of idiots and thinking they are the best in the island sure spelt of doom. They are running the island into the ground. Allowing large numbers of foreigners to take over the island and calling Singapore their home without knowing the implications.
This is like Haw Par allowing foreigners to take over and run the company. Now Haw Par is as good as gone forever.
Unable to help itself, Singapore has made ridiculously anti-climactic proposals to help small countries in terms of education, COVID-19 recovery and digitisation.
Singapore FM spoke at the UN General Assembly as if Singapore is expert in those fields.
In reality, Singapore has failed in its Education system for long long years, miserably - being unable to provide the types of education and training necessary for its citizens to fill the Singapore's job markets, especially the top and middle positions; resulting in overwhelming over-dependance on foreign talents and top, key management positions being replaced and displaced by foreigners.
Also, in reality, the COVID-19 Pandemic has exposed Singapore's gross inability, incompetence and Stupidity in managing the Pandemic like a yoyo.
That must have felt damn good, while the speech lasted?
Our admin wants levy workers!
Do not want CPF workers!
