(ST, Aug 13) “Not possible to ‘bubble wrap’ S’poreans from foreign competition, especially with rise of remote work: DPM Heng”
“”Employers can easily seek out the best skilled workers from all parts of the world… This means foreigners do not have to be in Singapore to compete with us,” said Mr Heng. “It would be increasingly difficult, if not impractical, to confine opportunities by geography.”
“Singaporeans venturing out need to have this mindset where we see what we can contribute to causes, and what it is that we bring to and can learn from the discussion. That process, I think we can do a lot better.””
Comment: Why is it not possible to:
1) Disclose the no. of jobs listed in the National Jobs Bank, that went to S’poreans?
2) Not allow foreigners to come as tourists to look for a job, and stay when they find one?
3) Breakdown the employment & local jobs growth into S’poreans & PRs?
4) Reduce the percentage of non-S’porean students in the public universities to less than 20%?
5) Not allow PRs to buy HDB flats?
6) Not allow PRs to be eligible for the Jobs Growth Incentive Scheme?
7) Not make it cheaper (no CPF) to employ foreigners?
Not allow companies, like those in the services sector, to employ 100% non-S’poreans (PRs, employment pass, S-Pass, work permits)?9) Not count foreign workers converted to new PRs, as local jobs growth?
