Too expensive to operate here caused by PAP-

1. Land lease

2, Building Premiums

3. FWs Levy between $300 to $700 per mth per headcount

4. Locals CPF, mostly Engineers which is $14,400 per annum per local

5. Quota on FWs but reserving these jobs when we don't want to be factory workers

Why do we need 5 Mayors and 80 PAP Ministers?

700 is quite a lot for SG.
I guess mostly are Malaysians and Locals.

They surely need to retain some is for service side like repair , maintenance tech beside R&D department.

Around half of these workers are Singaporean, while another 13 per cent are permanent residents.

Mr Khoo Chew Thong, adviser for R&D and quality administration at PAPRDSG, told The Straits Times that about 60 per cent of staff who are laid off are aged 50 or older, and another 30 per cent are between 30 and 50 years old.

One-to-one sessions will be held with affected employees in the upcoming weeks, he added.

While 700 staff are being retrenched, PAPRDSG will work with other companies in the Panasonic group in Singapore to explore possible re-employment, Mr Khoo said.

I don't believe so call re employ.

This is why they put it " explore possible to re employment "

Guess work as civil servant is the best in SG , a lot 50 year old civil servants not just pay is good , still can work till 70 at most before official retire. Work life balance as usual.

News said it is the Refrig line . .. which is done in Malaysia for the past 20 years, too.

PAP said FTs create good jobs, then let Tan SL come out and boast to tell us that the 350 citizens found a better paid job  in 6 mths time.

Otherwise, he is lying about the benefits of FTAs.

The Bedok South factory location is near to bedok central. If sell for residential development, should be able to fetch a good price.

1. I have served the nation in a combat unit for 2.5 + 10 years. I had fulfilled my duty as a citizen, but has the country do it's part for me?
2. I don't know where the threat of CCP is, but I know the threat of CECA is already at my doorsteps
3. I had been called a CCP, JHK, Pinoy, but they never called me a CECA..

That is Bedok Central, a prime area.

If only 1 factory out of the 3 factories there, cannot do much.

What is the point of bragging that FTAs create good jobs and bringing in $17 Billion investments when it has nothing to do with us.

With this Panasonics case, does that Malaysian man who always brag that he is PSLE Genius understand the whole picture now??
