Keep saying this across different threads..
Govt keep telling us we are short of manpower in IT.. But we are seeing young IT folks losing their jobs..
From this guy to the 32 year old lady who go and sell ban mian instead..
So what is the root of the problem? It will be worse when we have folks who believed in govt and end up taking an IT degree, or did a mid career change to be in IT industry.

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..

The shortage of manpower in IT is not true.
It is the shortage of cheap IT manpower from India.
For example, Semcorp Marine is a famous example.
SCM said they were shortage of 10,000 workers.
It does not mean there are 10,000 jobs for Singaporeans.
SCM said shortage because they cannot get 10,000 cheap workers from India.
Due to COVID, SCM has to pay $200 millions more to get workers from China and Malaysia for 2 years.
It means this shortage of IT manpower does not mean these jobs are for Singaporeans.
Unless, the govt says that these jobs must go to Singaporeans, then these jobs are for Singaporeans.
If not, most IT jobs will got to India contractors.

Then it just mean that all the saying of shortage of IT manpower and that's why we need to import are just bf, and we have mid career folks who are conned to go into IT..
If business choose to out-source developer job to cheaper countries, we can't stop that, just like we will go Malaysia to buy things coz things are cheaper there..

he's into the wrong type of IT lah. game programming is very taxing and can be easily worn out and replaced if you're getting older and still not able to move up to the top or become the boss. moreover the work is very unproductive and in fact harmful to the young generation. some getting older but still addicted to games. can imagine your sons or husband dun do homework and housework but sitting in front of the computer all the while.
