In order to maintain our MICO, we cannot take in too many Pinoys, Burmese, Vietnamese...it will increase the O.
We also cannot take in too many Indians as that will increase the I.
There has to a balamce in order to ensure that C stays at 75%. The biggest group is the Malaysians who are ethnic Chinese who are being mistaken to be Chinese Singaporeans.
Those who keep ranting CECA are just using that race card to try to topple PAP.
CECA is the chip for winning votes. Because they are a very obvious group in Changi.
However I believe Singaporean is too smart to be fool, in such demonisation on Foreign workers working here.
It is obvious we need foreign resources to compete with neighbouring countries comprise of 30 to 100 millions population.
"Singaporean First" is not wrong too, in my view.
Opposition can use it to fight with PAP. But not targeting on CECA...that's rubbish!
Opposition should challenge government to build a core local group working in Essential Trade / Skill jobs.
Such as Doctor/Nurse/Engineer/Agriculture/Bankers etc...
In Covid times, we suffered because many foreigners preferred to fly home, facing the hardship together. Taking care of their families. That is humanity.
But our own local population will suffer due to sudden lack of manpower in critical services.
Therefore our government sector, govt link agencies, government link corporation, all must hire Singaporean first in general, for above jobs role.
Train and develop them to hold Top positions.
Pay Singaporean higher salary than their PR / foreigner counterpart.
Show the world, Singaporean is preferred and can do the job as good as any foreigner.
Many trades and industries in Singapore have Government linked companies. These should be sufficient to build a core group of Local Talent in times of emergency like C19.
Singapore beside having Foreign Talent in the MNC, we also have a strong team of
Local Talent!!!
This GE should prioritise in
Local Talent!!!! topic.
That's is the first reason why Singapore was built by our pioneer generation.
To pursue a good and bright future for their next generations.
Majulah!!!🤣🤣🤣
