PARLIAMENTAlvin Tan: More than 80% of Singapore’s financial sector workforce is local, offers highest median incomes


More than 80% of Singapore’s financial sector workforce comprises locals, offering the highest median incomes, Minister of State for Trade and Industry Alvin Tan told Parliament on 10 March. Responding to MP Yip Hon Weng, he highlighted job growth and talent initiatives but did not clarify the definition of “locals.” However, Singapore typically classifies local residents as Singaporeans and permanent residents.

Did Alvin get fake Masters Degree or SCholarship?

Or too lazy to check Dictionary on the definition of Natives, Locals, Inhabitants, Residents . . . ?

Local REsidents are not Permanent Residents, either.

But definitely wanting to mislead 61% NAIVE as usual because

the True Data must be 20/80 lor.

Hidden away 30% in 80% locals are Malaysians  holding Singapore PRs.

Not totally accurate survey

PR are not citizens

The gov acknowledges that PRs are differentiated from Citizens by letting them enjoy less benefits

Why are they now lumped together?
