No. They will hire more FTrs but ask these FTrs to pay more for accomodation and transport.

If this idea is really effective, PAP would have raised the salary to $10k per mth.

This is just another wayang show

To protect the young grads while mid-career is still jobless.

换汤 不换药。

Why do we need 5 Mayors and 87 PAP Ministers?

Many mid-career PMETs are still jobless and had to resort to work as Grab delivery man or drive taxis to put food on the table.....

Actually it's the opposite...a higher cost to hire FT, means the locals also jack up their salary requests...they know they r in demand.

It's about supply and demand

When trump impose taxes on Chinese import..it force local companies to buy the already expensive suppliers

The younger grads can jack up their salary requests, then the companies just hire FTs.

The only way is for them to ask for lower salary to get the job. 

They will still get the job, unlike middle career. Because PAP has built a Close job environment-

1.   Must only apply for the same profession 
No way are we allowed to move from  F& B WAitress to Human Resource 
Or tuition teacher to Logistics Executive ( my friend's sister)

2.  Must apply for same pay
Companies do not accept if you are willing to take pay cut
Because they say you will resign vey easily

3. Must be same age Group
Because companies want synergy

NOPE!

Because companies will just say the same like past 10 years and accuse that we do not have the skills

Thousands FTs got away under JoTeo's sotong leadership in MOM

Now with new COMPASS framework, they will use the same trick again to get additional 20 / 40 points

By adding irrelevant/ unimportant skills in the Job Advertisements

Where none of us can do like this ad-
