Just to make a joke out of what LW said today..

Jobs not given to Average/ Fake Talents will definitely be taken up by citizens. Hardly can most of us do the jobs of REAL FTs like Ramesh or VP of Google earning $50k or $100k per mth!

Without so many/ excess FTs, our living standards will also go up. South Korea and China has high standard of living without so many FTs ( including those who took up PRs). Their overhaul of bus routes, AI for tracking covid cases, using mobile to tap train fares . . . .have all surpassed the useless FTs here. Because our own local grads can also raise the SoL, lah.

Why import so many/ excess FTs that are not pillars of the organization and not Real FTs to raise Cost of Living while standard of living is lowER??

Their argument is always loose and not strong to be used in Prim 1 Parliament.

[Tangsen]

Their living standard means cost of living lah

[surfer]

To many Singaporeans the living standards seems to be getting unattainable because the costs of living is shooting skywards and salary is spiralling downwards.

Their definition and our definition of living standard is different.
Living standard "improved" but both couple  got to work until die?

If they raise living standards why has life become tougher and tougher

Below is a first hand account of how foreign imported labor depresses the pay of Singaporeans and eventuality displaces Singapore :....these are facts....after Singaporean's pay is depressed the large influx causes rise in housing and car prices worsening the lives of people.
