there is no need for unemployment insurance or Jobseeker Support Scheme.

PAP govt just needs to assign interviews or  jobs to the unemployed.

if the unemployed reject jobs or interviews, they will be disqualified by the govt for help.

there is no risk of unemployed refusing to work and depend on govt money.

however, we need a very efficient govt to provide interviews and jobs to the unemployed, current PAP govt is incapable and
inefficient to provide jobs and interviews.
