Singapore tightens rules for expat workers with an eye on local discontent

With the General Elections looming, these are cosmetic changes are meant to improve the appearance of the current reverse discrimination against S'poreans, but do not change its basic nature, and are far too inadequate to appease long suffering citizens. Far greater measures need to be put in place or the MIW will lose even more votes, or be booted out of Parliament eventually.

so many loopholes in our employment pass rules and regulations, ceca easily maneuver and get the pass.

[Alice Alicia]

Election is near.

[grotesqueness]

vote pap out

[jus4lucky]

PAP have lost touch decade ago, now their MP are all no par at all. time for them to pack up and go. Most are redundant. Cost so much to maintain them at the expense of citizen footing the bill . Made cost up in our cost of living where our salary did not keep up with it. With more foreigner in, our local will lose out. business owner will choose foreigner than our own, cost low. But the effect will cost us to feel resentment toward sg as a whole. we no feel home at all.

[Sticw]

Such policies can be changed after the GE lah. 4.5 years of pain and a couple of months of relief... Lol

After the GE, most of the so-called reforms will crash and burn.

[talky]

the bitter  medicine is always there will never change
only will be diluted to be not so bitter when pap deemed is the right time 
after that add more medicine to naturalise the additional water to revert to same bitterness!!

[wulala]

don't quite understand the policy? higher salary for foreigners? meaning higher salary job for foreigner and lower salary job for local? what is the logic for this policy har?

It is discriminatory since our govt wants to invite more foreigners to become PRs and citizens, so they must have more benefits than drawbacks. The biggest disincentive would be serving NS.

Raise salary again for foreigners to guarantee them

This is just a mere window dressing in disguise. Once GE is over, everything wil be at its original place again. Worst of it, adding to new increases in many things and services. We hv seen all of these dirtytricks for so many donkey years, and is nothing surprising. Afterall, don’t believe in their words at all and these pappies cannot be trusted.

From next year, the government will tweak that calculus in favour of locals by raising the salary threshold for foreigners seeking approval to work in the city-state.

==============================

This is how PAP Betrays Citizens again and forever

Pay them more while we get lesser salary?%^*%^

No wonder Jac Lau 5354 is so Happy

[Huliwang]

Election coming and they wayang a bit. Once over with 75 percent landslide victory they will loosen the rules again.

It is likely that at least 55% will return the MIW to power thanks to a combination of gerrymandering, a weak Opposition, lies and the dangling of carrots to the gullible voters.

I am not as stupid as Jac Lau 5354

So many lies from PAP every time and using the New Framework to Wayang

Even pay FTs half of what the framework stated, my colleague also got EP Approved recently

1 Case got exempted meaning that MOM Policies allow thousands of exemption, lah

PAP Ministers CANNOT be once trusted at all
