No worries,FTs will create even more *Food Panda* jobs for sgs.
The PM said he will *PROTECT* FOOD PANDAS’ jobs so that NO FTs can take away PROFESSIONAL FOOD DELIVERY BOYS’ JOBs from local graduates upgrading their jobs from bankers to FOOD PANDAs???
Else,be a professional hawker.
Learn how to make MEE SIAM MAI HUM?!
The above is a comment in an article in TRE about how lucky a 50 year old PMET landed a job after being on a $1,200 traineeship with SGUnited. PMETs should be happy now with so many jobs being protected for them. If I could still remember, driving taxi was once protected also but now any PR or so called resident or local, not citizen, can apply and drive taxis.
But never mind, delivery boys also good. Better than nothing.
The future of Singaporeans are well taken care of. Now got point system to be more selective and discriminating in bringing in foreign talents from third world countries here. But they still recognise all the funny degrees from very cheap universities that were not even ranked to compete with our world class universities. Would they be checking for fake degrees, degree mills degrees, or never mind, no way to check, too costly to check?
Singaporeans are so lucky with such a caring govt to protect their interests.

Confidence in the future is shattered after seeing their questionable judgement in taking sides with the West and recklessly imposing sanctions on Russia, and making the world more dangerous for Singaporeans now susceptible to retaliation after being placed on Russia's list of unfriendly countries.
RB, you're damn outdated.
PRs can drive taxis for over 30 years already.
Used to have to shout at PRC PR taxi drivers in the 1990s --- don't know Singapore roads & which direction to go.
The AVERAGE STARTING salary of a Sinkie graduate is $5,000 in 2021.
Top graduates in Comp Sci & IT are having $10K STARTING SALARIES.
Over 90% of graduates from NUS, NTU, SMU got jobs within 6 months of graduation.
For 2022, the number of companies in S'pore that are hiring is the highest in the last 11 years going back to 2011.
The main reason why some Sinkies are unemployable is simply because they cannot demonstrate employable skills. The most basic skill is being able to strike a rapport with the hiring manager, which is crucial for higher paying jobs.
Followed by losing touch with what skills are in-demand & being lazy to go and learn and practice those skills ON THEIR OWN. This is why 40+ and 50+ are getting kicked out. Not worth their salary.
Singaporeans are lucky. So many jobs are protected - table cleaners, gardeners, trolley pushers, toilet washers, food deliverers. And these are all heritage jobs all reserved for true blue Sinkies. Not lucky meh?
Virgo,
You're even more outdated than RB lah. So many decades jobless liao.
$5K starting is only average across the board.
$6K starting is average for IT grads.
These are 80% Sinkies, 20% PRs & foreigners on student pass, graduated in 2021.
If you have 21-25 year old relatives starting work with only salary of below $4.5K --- that means they are ZHAO KAK lah.
Why worry so much my fellow Singaporeans. Food Panda, taxi driver, security guard and dishwasher also jobs. Got job should be thankful for our pAP government. Vote them in again next GE and we will be so blessed. Thank you PAP.
Virgo,
You are left behind liao. Singapore has moved on without you.
Degree holder above 35 salaries are more than $8K. Those above 45 are having over $10K at least.
I'm saying this from personal experience as well as experience from close friends & relatives.
This is also from annual govt surveys of Singaporean household income of those in hdb estates as well as private properties.
Even govt are saying in their internal discussions that $2.5K is minimum wage in Singapore --- anybody earning below this is poverty level. That's why workfare is up to $2.5K.
Even short term contract govt jobs in ministries are paying $4+K for diploma level. This is from a friend's kid who is a 30+ yr old poly grad.
Virgo, go & make friends in the real world. Find out what's happening in society instead of remaining in your cocoon of negativity & bitterness.
Notice how you're the only one not believing all these current salary levels in Singapore????
Expatriates leaving HK are struggling to secure places for their children at Singapore’s top private schools. International schools across Singapore reported that they had received multiple times more inquiries than normal but were unable to meet the unprecedented demand.
Many international businesses are making plans to move staff from Hong Kong, where schools were closed again in January as the territory tightened restrictions. Companies including JPMorgan and Bank of America have considered relocations as border closures and tough quarantine measures make travelling from the city to meet clients almost impossible.
But growing waiting lists at Singapore’s schools are complicating those plans. “It is very, very tough. The market is incredibly hot,” said Daniel Beatty, Asia general manager for nutrition group Glanbia, who relocated from Hong Kong in September and is trying to secure a secondary school place for his son.
Singapore-based Tanglin Trust School, a non-profit with 2,800 students and annual fees of up to S$46,965 (US$34,600), received as many applications in January and February as during the whole of last year, according to Craig Considine, the chief executive.
For every one place at the junior school there were about 15 families interested, he said.
“Gaining a place in a good school is a big driver” for those considering whether to relocate, said Considine, adding parents may move somewhere elsewhere if they could not get their child into the right school.
The Canadian International School, which has about 3,200 pupils across two Singapore campuses and charges fees of up to S$41,700 a year, has already received about seven times more inquiries in 2022 than in the previous six months, according to head of communications Michelle Sharp. As many as 10 families are after every one place in the most oversubscribed year groups.
The Perse School Singapore is receiving as many as 30 inquiries a day, said Benyna Richards, the principal. But she said there was no waiting list after many expats left the city-state last year before it loosened its Covid-19 restrictions.
