I said before and I said again publish numbers that tell the full story before and after CECA.

The govt claimed that there are still jobs for Singaporeans since ceca signed....but this is not evidence that CECA has improved the situation.

1. What is % of Singaooreans in IT before CECA and after CECA.

2. What is the number of Singaporeans who have to downgrade employment to driving PHV and food delivery BEFORE and AFTER CECA?

3. How many PMETs.were retrenched before CECA and after ceca.

To see if something is good or not good we need to see the numbers BEFORE and AFTER.

If we just focus on jobs, we are already falling into PAP trap.. CECA is more than jobs, which is why if govt can show that Singapore gained as a whole in other areas, but gave in on jobs part, then at least it get some buy in that CECA is really benefiting Singapore.

Of course, jobs is important for Singaporean, so if govt gave in on jobs part in CECA, then be prepared for the fury of those affected..

But then, don't fall into the trap that lead us to just focus on 1 area of CECA.. It is the whole CECA that need to be looked at.. For a layman like me, simple numbers to determine if Singapore has benefited will be:
1) Export to India
2) FDI from India to Singapore

Those 2 areas, there wasn't significant increase after signing CECA. Ironically, Singapore is India's largest FDI.. Which lead back to how did Singapore benefited from CECA as a whole.
