So far I never see the Gov promote local as the great ppl to be recruited to the foreign investor.😅

Yes in some aspect, I agree to you statement. 
We hear more about Foreign Talent and not Local Talent...😆🤣
It appears that there has been an oversight in the public relations marketing strategy of our government, which has resulted in negative sentiments among the public. Rather stupid imo.🤭

Our Govt did make a stance on local employment for all companies in Singapore. 
Everyone knows there is a ratio between citizens and foreign workers for companies hiring. 
Some companies were already penalised for breaking the rules.

Nevertheless, Citizen and Permanent Resident fall under the same category in most employment opportunities, with the possible exception of certain civil service departments.

PR scheme priority is to sustain or boost up our citizens population in our long-term sustainability strategy. 
Singapore's total fertility rate has reached a historic negative low of 0.97 in 2023. Cannot even reproduce to replace ourselves, not to mention increase our local born core citizens for economical competition.

This poses a significant challenge to the sustainability of our local population and workforce.
It is crucial to address this issue in order to ensure the long-term growth and compete with our neighbouring countries for more better and higher salary jobs..

How can Singapore compete with Malaysia's 34 millions population in attracting more MNC investments?
How can Singaporean keep on drawing $7k and above salary? Now and in the future. 

I am sure no political parties including WP and SDP have any better solution, other than using current PR scheme to fulfil MNC's requirements in human capital. 
Eventhough many people in Singapore hated to see more PRs in our nation. 
What choice do we have?
