He was then asked a supplementary question by Sembawang GRC MP Mariam Jaafar on providing a further breakdown of the number of Singaporeans and foreigners who were retrenched from the tech companies.

Dr Tan replied that the Government does not disclose the numbers of the retrenchments based on affected employees’ nationality, following the practice on official statistics set out by the International Labour Organisation.

"However, if I may provide an indication, citizens make up a large majority of our resident labour force which is about 85 per cent. The permanent resident population has also remained stable over time, so this means that the resident data mirrors citizen data,” said Dr Tan.

No transparency.

Well, "sales, marketing" certainly need some product understanding and business line know-how while the "corporate functions" sounds pretty much some admin/PR roles.

Hmmm... don't "sales, marketing" folks be getting fat bonus when hit or exceed quota ?
