High Concentration of PMETs From One Country "Discovered" By MOM

 

Last month, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) suddenly woke up and quickly made a public announcement that it has "discovered" 47 companies with suspected discriminatory hiring practices have been placed on its Fair Consideration Framework (FCF) Watch list. (As a pass-time bird-watching hobby?)

This is on top of the 1,000 firms in the watchlist as announced by Manpower Minister Josephine Teo in Parliament earlier this year – an increase of about 400 more firms compared to last year's watchlist. (Which means the watching alone is not effective. It does not mean anything to the culprits. They simply don't give a damn!)

The announcement came after the recent Pandemic General Election which saw the PAP lose another GRC and perform worse than expected.

Of the 47 companies, 30 (64 per cent) are in the financial and professional services sectors. They include banks, fund management firms, management consulting companies, as well as firms that provide project management and engineering services.

MOM said that all 30 of the financial and professional services employers have a “high concentration of PMETs from single nationalities”. In simple layman's words, ONE COUNTRY.

(We can confidently assume that that One Country is INDIA, because MOM is terrified to reveal it to us.)

In one financial institution in the fund management industry, almost 75% of their PMETs are of the same nationality and in another bank, almost 66% of the PMETs are also of the same nationality, MOM revealed.

“We will subject their hiring to closer scrutiny to ensure that there is no nationality bias against locals, which is unacceptable and not in line with fair, merit-based hiring,” said MOM.

How do you ensure just by "closer scrutiny"? It's like 66-75% of your territory has already been invaded by enemy forces and you suddenly discovered it, and then as the commander tasked to defend the territory, you shouted at the enemy forces, "Hey! I am going to take a closer look at you, to ensure that you don't invade my territory!" What a brilliant commander!

Even though MOM did not name the companies or the nationalities involved, most netizens pointed to Indian nationals. Why? Because we can see, feel and smell them crowding everywhere, especially at Changi Business Park and the Financial Centre at Shenton Way. Simple as that.

Only those comfortably sleeping inside ivory towers cannot feel and cannot see the real situation on the ground.

Solution:

To ensure that the various companies abide by MOM"s guidelines, regulations, rules, directives and decrees, the following actions (not observations) should be taken:

1. Impose heavy penalties even for first offence.

2. Charge them in Court and send the CEO to serve jail terns.

3. Terminate their licence and ban them from operating in Singapore.

4. Reserve all CEOs and Human Resource Directors or Managers for Singapore-born Citizens only. New citizens or PRs holding such posts must be approved by MOM and issue with a revocable permit to hold such posts.

5. All government agencies, organs of state and MAS, GIC, GLCs and Temasek Holdings and its subsidiaries must also comply. They serve as good examples to lead the rest. If they can vagrantly flout the rules, so can others. Then MOM will have no moral standing to exert compliance.

Foreigners having a party, Singaporean PMETs in dire straits - A choice between stupidity and change

Temasek says it hires mostly - Singaporean staff

“About 60 per cent of our staff across our 11 offices in eight countries are Singaporeans”, said Temasek Holdings Private Limited is a Singaporean holding company, owned by the Government of Singapore.

In its Temasek Review 2020 report highlights, the commercial investment company revealed its staff composition proportion in a series of graphs....

“Temasek has its roots in Singapore, where there is no place for xenophobia, racism, or hate speech. The very birth of Singapore as an independent nation was founded on the ideals of meritocracy, regardless of race, language or religion. What matters most to us in Temasek, are the values, the integrity, and the character and capability of our people”, it added.

The above is quoted from www.theindependent.sg. This explanation by Temasek came about as a result of the recent furore over the massive influx of foreigners in Singapore and the increasingly clearer picture of many top jobs in govt and GLCs being filled by foreigners while many experienced Singaporean PMETs were laid off, became unemployed, retired, or underemployed. The trend also says that those Singaporeans aspiring to top management jobs are likely to lose them to foreigners. 

The problem of unemployment is not only limited to the senior PMETs but also to fresh Singaporean graduates that have been discriminated and marginalised or just unable to find employment while foreigners are in charge and foreigners could walk into Singapore and landed a permanent job like a breeze.

Anger is rising with the increasing pain faced by Singaporeans, many felt betrayed and cheated by the policies of the govt and the practices of GLCs. Temasek felt the pressure when it was revealed that its top management has a high percentage of non Singaporeans and with Indians being singled out for criticism. And now this report to explain and justify what it is doing.

To Temasek, what it is doing is the best and good for Temasek and Singapore. The Singaporeans may have different views, and the share of Singaporeans in top management is a subjective and arbitrary number. Temasek is very happy with the composition and very likely the govt too. That is its prerogative and assessment. It is a matter of judgement and values and priorities and even personal preferences of the govt and those in charge in Temasek. The people may think otherwise and want it changed.

So, what can the people do about it if the govt and Temasek think they are right and this is the best for Singapore and Singaporeans? Nothing. The people have voted the govt into power and Temasek is an arm of the govt. The people have given the power and consent to the elected govt and the govt/Temasek will think and decide for them.

If the people are not happy with what they see, just do the necessary in the next GE. This is democracy at works. The people decide what is best for themselves through the govt they elected to serve them. Sure, for the moment when the die is cast, for the last two decades, the people at best can cry and scream and thump their chests about their unhappiness. But the ball is in the court of the govt and Temasek to do what they perceived as what the people want versus what they think is good for the country and people. The govt may change some of the policies to appease the anger of the people. The govt may not and continue to do as it pleases. And looking at the explanation of Temasek, they are doing the right thing and so don't expect any changes.

So, if nothing gonna change, change can only take place in the next GE. In the meantime, just gripe and show your anger and unhappiness o be heard or else the natural aristocrats would say no one is complaining, all is well or the people have accepted their fate. That's about what the people can do for now. And comes the next GE, if the people continues to vote the same govt to rule over them, to bring in more foreigners for top jobs, then so be it. 

Stupidity has no cure. And it is best the people shut up and live with their choice and their own stupidity.

Read this piece by Anna Maria Romero (local, PR or new citizen or foreigner) in the Business Times.

The issue of the foreign workforce became a focal point in Parliament last week, pointed out an editorial in The Business Times (BT) on Wednesday, September 9.

And while the piece acknowledges that there are ‘grievances’ from, Singaporeans who have been displaced by foreigners in the job market, it asserts that, at this particular time, the country must remain “open to trade, investment, and talent from the rest of the world.”

What the article said is that Covid19 more serious, forget about the problems of foreigners in Singapore. Open the legs wider and let more foreigners in? The only thing positive about the article is that finally they are willing to acknowledge that 'Singaporeans (who) have been displaced by foreigners in the job market' and no silly bugger stood up to ask for proof that this is so.

What do you think?

 

Indian aggressive moves in the Pangong Lake, Ladakh

New Delhi: The Indian Army has reportedly occupied heights on the north bank of Pangong Tso which overlook Chinese positions on the ridge lines in the Finger 4 area.  This means that the Indian Army now has a tactical advantage on both the north and south banks of the Pangong Tso.

Mountain warfare is all about dominating the heights, and since they have come under the Indian Army’s control, there are reports that China has started building up its forces on the north bank of the Pangong Tso and is trying to come closer to the Indian position at Finger 4.

The whole Pangong Tso area in the Ladakh sector is on edge with expectation of some kind of action from the Chinese Army to regain lost ground on the south of the lake where India had in a pre-emptive move occupied two dozen strategic heights.

What has added to the tension is the fact that now all the action in the Pangong Tso area is being controlled directly by commanders in Beijing and it’s no longer in the hands of local PLA officers. Posted in deccanchronicle

The above article clearly showed that India had taken aggressive moves into Chinese claimed territories inside China's side of the LAC on the ground that it is preempting China's move that has not taken place and could be fabricated by India as an excuse to make the first move.  In plain language it is like claiming someone is going to burn your house so you make your first move and burn his house first. So who is the real aggressor? And after making such aggressive moves to take territories on the Chinese side it accused China as the aggressive party.

This is typical of snakes speaking in fork tongues, like the Americans, fabricate a hoax and use the hoax as an excuse to invade or attack another country, like Iraq, Syria and Iran. Now without China doing anything, the Indians are claiming that China is going to do something, so they moved first, to prevent China making the fabricated move.  This is a very aggressive country and needed to be taught another bitter and embarrassing lesson before they learn to be a good and well behaved boy.

Indian aggression against China and its immediate neighbours are legendary. India is a big bully in South Asia. But they are pushing their luck too far thinking 36 Rafales fighter aircraft would make them invincible against the PLA. India can continue to blow its trumpet and act aggressively. The world is watching these aggressive moves.  China has not made any move yet but will in a matter of time to drive out the Indians in their territories. 

The aggressor would always win in the first few days, like in the 1962 war. Now India is winning by moving into Chinese territories. Now India even claimed to have tactical advantage, everything in favour of India in a war with China, just like pre 1962 border war. And when they got chased out latter, they would claim China made the first move and is the aggressive party. This is India and its lies. And when defeated, they would find all kinds of silly excuses, claiming they were caught unprepared, their armies were weaker, not acclimatised and all the craps. Now they are telling the world they are well prepared, stronger than China and have made the moves into Chinese territories and in very good position, with superior Rafale fighter jet that one Rafale could take on 5 to 10 Chinese jets. Please don't laugh, this is typical Indian delusion.

Let's wait and see what they say when they are chased out from these positions. China your move next in respond to the Indian aggression.

 

American little poodle crying

Stopping trade means China loses too, and Beijing must know the world is watching, says James Laurenceson.

SYDNEY: When Canberra called for an international, independent inquiry into COVID-19 in April, Beijing deployed trade restrictions measures against Australian beef and barley the next month.

And so when the Australian government responded firmly to China imposing a sweeping national security law in Hong Kong at the end of June, the Australian Financial Review’s Andrew Tillett and Mike Smith wrote that “the government [was] privately bracing for a trade backlash as punishment”.

Sure enough, what followed was an anti-dumping investigation into Australian wine, another meat processor having its certification to supply the Chinese market suspended, and barley exports from a major Perth-based grain company barred on food safety grounds. CNA

The above is a clear case of when you are small don't act big. Australia, the American poodle in Asia has been the most vocal against China since the few American crony states in Asean have quietened down after China started to carry a cane. But this self professed white sheriff in Asia, thinking that white is still superior and strutting around like it is the master in the region, continues to agitate and provoke China, thinking that with the evil Empire on its back China would not dare to hit back. They have been poking the eyes of China everyday and smearing China like a good lapdog of the Americans, echoing everything Pompeo wanted them to say and do.

Hitting back is what China did and this little poodle is starting to feel the pain and whining. Oh, a trade war with China would hurt both parties. Really? Raw material and food can be replaced from other sources with equally good substitutes. As long as China is buying, every country would want to sell, including the evil Empire,

But how is Australia going to find an equally big buyers to replace China? NONE! China must continue to squeeze the balls of Australia until they scream for mercy. This white racist poodle must be taught a lesson it would not forget, that it is a little group of white gangsters in stolen territory in Asia and Asia belongs to Asians not white men. so don't muck around in Asia.

China go, keep squeezing this poodle until it puts its tail between its legs.

CECA - An Invasion Without Firing A Single Shot!

 CECA - An Invasion Without Firing A Single Shot!

Facts:

Singapore's population is 5.85 million, while India's population is 1.38 billion today. 15 years ago, Singapore's population was much smaller.

Question:

Who in the world would sign an agreement of exchange of "free flow of talents" with a country of 1.38 billion mouths to feed, knowing fully well that his own country has only 5.85 million people?

Answer:

Only Singapore's Pseudo Leeders who claimed themselves to be outstanding talents in order to make themselves instant multi-millionaires within one or two years. No one else.

Comments:

1. ALL the other countries that signed the RECP refused to allow India to take advantage of them by including the terms from the CECA agreement, specifically those concerning the "exchange of free flow of talents" clause.

2. Until today, the idiots who have made the grave mistake are still trying to defend themselves with all sorts of excuses and refuse to make amends.

3. If CECA continues in force, Singapore will be "captured" by India without firing a single shot, in the not too distant future. The writing can be clearly seen on the wall. I have no doubt about it.

4. As it is today, the Indians, both local and foreign, are in control of Singapore already. Most of the powers are in their hands.

5. Under the leedership of a very sick man, the Banana has been out-manourved and out-witted by the Mangosteen.

6. Singapore has become the "Sick Man Of Asia", from 1st World To 3rd!

7. A prodigal son will spend all that his father had saved and destroy all that his father had built. This story has been played out in clear view for all to see. Yet the dafts cannot see, cannot feel, cannot think. It is going to be a very sad ending. So, bite the teeth and wait for it to come.

8. The saga of the high almighty CAG chairman vs a low-salary maid (Giant Goliath against Tiny David) depicts exactly the sad story of Singapore today for all to see and feel. This real life story summarises everything into a single episode, if anyone has bothered to see it in wider perspective and think deeper.

Sayonara, my beloved Singapore, don't cry for me, I will cry for you.....
