MOM data on PMETs- What is the truth?

 

Under pressure from MPs in Parliament, the Manpower Minister Josephine Teo released data of past decade (2010 to 2019) concerning the breakdown of Professionals, Managers, Executives & Technicians (PMETs) by industries and residential status earlier this month (4 Sep).

From the data, it can be seen that the total number of PMETs working in Singapore increased from 1.25 to 1.70 million (36% increase) from 2010 to 2019.

However, the proportion of Singaporeans among the total number of PMETs working here decreased from 64.2% to 61.7% while that of foreigners (including PRs) increased from 35.8% to 38.3% during the past decade.

 The above is quoted from TOC. 

I just have one comment. How many of the Singaporean PMETs are new citizens? Just a guess, if 30% are new citizens what does it say? If 50% are new citizens, what does it say? As they said, the devil is in the details.

Oh, why just 10 years, from 2010 to 2019, why not 20 years from 2000 to 2019?

What do you think? 

PS. 'We know for a fact that in recent years, Singapore welcomes an average of just over 22,000 new citizens a year. Latest available figures show that there were 22,102 new citizens in 2016, 22,076 in 2017 and 22,550 in 2018....The fact remains that the country currently takes in just over 22,000 new citizens a year. With at least 110,000 new citizens every five years, they could be a force to be reckoned with at the ballot box.'  From an article in TOC by Augustine Low.  

And our annual birth rate is about 35,000.

China standing up to American interference and bullying - Enough is enough! Shame on you Americans.

 Both can dance. If the Americans want to play dirty, China will play by it, China will do what the Americans are doing against her.  The Americans have been launching all kinds of attacks against China, interfering in Hong Kong to stir secessionist causes, sailing warships and aircraft into the South China Sea to agitate and provoke China, threatening and violating Chinese territorial integrity, sanctioning and arresting Chinese citizens on fabricated charges, trade wars etc etc. 

The time has come for China to return the favour and let the Americans have a taste of its own medicine. Below is an AFP report on China criticising the Americans for its racism against the blacks and coloured people in the USA. 

MADISON, United States: US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Wednesday (Sep 23) accused China of trying to foment unrest in the United States through its criticism of racism.

Pompeo, known for his hawkish views on China, went on the attack on Beijing in an unusual address to state lawmakers in Wisconsin, a crucial swing state in November's presidential election....

"The CCP wants to foment the kind of strife we've seen in Minneapolis, and Portland and Kenosha," he said, referring to three cities that have seen protests over racism and police brutality in recent months.

"That's disgusting. We can't let it happen," he said.

As evidence of China's intentions, Pompeo pointed to a letter from a Chinese diplomat to a lawmaker from Wisconsin.

The letter said that Beijing was "firmly opposed to racial discrimination and xenophobia" against the Chinese community in the United States over the coronavirus crisis....

 

China for a very long time have refrained from talking about the internal affairs of the US but the incessant attacks by the Americans to incite rebellions in China cannot go on without a response in kind. China has stepped up to the plate to do what the Americans think only it can do, to interfere in other countries domestic affairs. China must also support the oppression of the native Americans to reclaim their land, and the Pacific Islanders and native of Diego Garcia to retake their islands.

There are many causes in the USA that China must speak up to support the victims of white supremacists against their blacks and coloured citizens. Both can play the same game and dance to the same tune. This is only the beginning. If the Americans want to stir shit, China too can stir shit in American occupied territories and in American homeland. 

All the problems China is facing today have one source, the Americans.  All the problems the Americans are facing today also have one source, the Americans or karma, self inflicted problems. The Americans are creating the problems for China and the rest of the world so that they could have peace in their homeland. Someone up there said this is not fair and started to pour problems on the Americans in their homeland. No country could cause problems for the Americans or would bother to do it, only the Americans of the One up there could do it.

And here is the latest in the UN as reported by AFP.

UNITED NATIONS: China on Thursday (Sep 24) lashed out at the United States at a high-level United Nations meeting over its criticism on the coronavirus, with its envoy declaring, "Enough is enough!"....

 "I must say, enough is enough! You have created enough troubles for the world already," he told a Security Council meeting on global governance attended through video conference by several heads of state.

"The US has nearly seven million confirmed cases and over 200,000 deaths by now. With the most advanced medical technologies and system in the world, why has the US turned out to have the most confirmed cases and fatalities?" he asked in English.

"If someone should be held accountable, it should be a few US politicians themselves."

Using a phrase often told by US leaders to China, Zhang said, "The US should understand that a major power should behave like a major power."

The lying Americans are so shameful and disgraceful!

Parti Liyani - The Liyani Party has just begun, by invitations only

The Parti Liyani case has the social media filled with all kinds of chatters, including the Singapore elites being on trial. The latest change, with Parti Liyani taking her case against her prosecutors, is effectively putting the elites on trial. TT Duria's case was one such example but is now history.  Liew Mun Leong's case would have died down after he resigned from all his high posts in the GLCs. But this...

The Liyani Party has just begun. Where would the can stop? Oops, when would the music stop?

Below is a CNA report on what is going to happen to her prosecutors. The AG Office would also be in the spotlight for the wrong reason, like the prosecutors being prosecuted, and many questions waiting to be asked and many embarrassing answers to be given in court. This is like stirring the hornets nest. The police officers would likely to be called as well to explain their handling of the case. Many people will be very busy and feeling very uneasy, many will have sleepless nights.

An ordinary unassuming maid is now putting the elites and the whole judicial system on trial.  Can you believe it? There will be plenty of red and green faces by the time this is over.

Don't pray pray with the maids.

'SINGAPORE — Parti Liyani, the former domestic helper of ex-Changi Airport Group chairman Liew Mun Leong, has began court disciplinary proceedings against prosecutors in her case.

She and her lawyer, Anil Balchandani, attended a High Court pre-trial conference on Wednesday (23 September) against representatives from the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC).

The hearing was for an originating summons under Section 82A of the Legal Profession Act. Section 82A covers misconduct by legal service officers or non-practising solicitors.

The respondents listed in the case are two deputy public prosecutors who dealt with her trial: Tan Wee Hao and Tan Yanying. They are represented by AGC’s Kristy Tan, Jeyendran Jeyapal and Jocelyn Teo.

If the Chief Justice grants Parti leave for an investigation to be made into the complaint of misconduct, he may appoint a disciplinary tribunal.'

Disgracing 'The Quintessential System of Justice' 

The hypocrisy of calling for others to respect our justice system while ignoring due process when it suits our own goals diminishes our credibility and is an equal threat to a just and fair society. When office-holders were products of the party’s establishment, this mostly didn’t matter, as they quite naturally acted within the unwritten boundaries of the system and process. This is a cogent description of the erosion of the process of justice at the lower levels. Even more troubling are those ‘nominated for judgeships’ who are utterly unqualified....

 

Covid19 - When the world stop listening to the compulsive liar Trump

 NEW YORK: US President Donald Trump told the UN General Assembly on Tuesday (Sep 22) that China must be held accountable by the world for its actions over the COVID-19 pandemic.

In a recorded message played to the annual meeting of the UN, Trump accused Beijing of allowing the coronavirus to "leave China and infect the world".  AFP

When lying too often becomes second nature to a compulsive liar who would not feel any shame or discomfort from his lies, the listeners felt very different and often repulsive. It has become very painful to the ears of the listerners when a liar, infamous for that, keeps on lying on the same thing.

Donald Trump is a disgrace to the Americans. He has not only brought shame to the White House, the office of the American Presidency, but also to the American people.  He is not only stupid, idiotic but a shameless compulsive liar. His families and relatives have sworn by it, that he was lying all through his life from a child to a silly old man. And his office as the President of the USA gives him ample opportunity to tell lies everyday and to be put on record by the army of journalists, reporters and news media. In a nutshell, Trump is a conman with no morals, unprincipled, a cheat, a racist and all put together a scoundrel of a man.

And no one, not a single American would go up to his liar and tell him to shut up and stop making a fool of himself and the office of the American President. This is how pathetic the American people have become, electing a lying fool to lead this once the most powerful country on earth. Surely this cannot go on and on without causing damage to the integrity of this country.

The world is watching and the clown Trump is performing daily and with pride what he does best, lying and making a dunce of himself by confirming to the world that his IQ is super below average.

And he is going to Make America Grieve Again and again and again. And above all, he is a white supremacist that hates blacks and coloured people. Now who in his right mind would want to listen to this scoundrel of a man?

Good riddance.

All the evidence about the origin of Covid19 has been exposed, from Fort Detrick, USA. Period. No more lies or distraction can show otherwise. The Americans must be held accountable for this crime against the people of the world, for creating a very infectious and deadly virus and spreading to the people of the world.  And thank God, this has boomeranged and causing the most infection and death in its country of origin.  What you sowed you shalt reap.

Xenophobia on the rise when foreigners become too cocky and deluded

 On 21 September (Monday), a HardwareZone user shared a Facebook post by an individual named “Khan” on the forum, which garnered a lot of negative responses.

The post by Ms Khan explained her recent Xenophobic encounter with a number of Singaporeans who stated that expats in the country have taken over jobs meant for Singaporeans.

“I just had a very Xenophobic encounter with some Singaporeans which started of with snide comments about my country of origin and then going further to say ‘expats are taking over jobs from Singaporeans’,” she wrote.

She added, “Has anyone ever had an encounter like that in Singapore? I’m a bit worried now because I never thought that this would happen in Singapore. For expats with families in Singapore, do they experience this as well?”

In the comment section of her post, many foreign talents (FTs) have expressed their thought on this matter. Some of the points that they pointed out include FTs are “necessary to sustain this country”, Singaporeans are not “good enough” for the job so foreigners have to do it, Singaporeans’ lack the qualifications for the jobs and Singapore will be badly affected without expats.

The above is posted in the TOC on foreigners mocking at Singaporeans for lack of qualifications for jobs and Singapore being run by expats. This trend of thinking among the foreigners is a result of stupid people telling Singaporeans that foreigners from hopeless countries, could not get a job in their own countries, are coming here to work and thinking that they are better than Singaporeans. And many of these foreigners have fake qualifications or papers from funny universities, not from our very good universities, world class, quality measured by the expensive fees to match.

How could this happen to Singapore and Singaporeans, the only first world city state in a third world region and got despised and insulted by third world people that could not find jobs in their own third world countries? Who created this silly situation?

And as expected, when the numbers got big enough, the presence of foreigners, the novelty and goodwill will go down the longkangs. And to make matters worse, the foreigners not only sneered and despised Singaporeans, they even discriminated against Singaporeans, ganged up to marginalise Singaporeans in the work environment, in getting jobs. This is recipe for xenophobia.

Yes, you don't expect this to happen in Singapore, an island of daft that do not mind having millions of foreigners coming here to steal their lunch with a govt boasting about how important it is to bring foreign talents to work here instead of competing against Singapore and Singaporeans.  They forgot that if Singapore is not going to provide the jobs, the so called foreign talents would be jobless. They forgot that many jobs and industries are nothing more than selling chicken rice and have no need for these fake foreign talents. They did not know that many of the jobs can be done by Singaporeans instead.

The tolerance for foreigners is wearing thin and anger is rising. Don't bet on it that more ugly incidents would happen and foreigners would not be having it so good as before. It is a matter of time when Singaporeans would say enough is enough and good riddance to foreign rubbish.

Here are some responses to the mocking by foreigners.
