If you Harrah's or Sun's Big Boss setting up the casino here would you engage local novices to man the tables and deal the cards? Or would you prefer enticing experienced dealers from Genting to do the job (and most probably at 1/2 or 3/4 the cost of employing a local to do so)? I guess the answer is obvious isn't it?Originally posted by ORIGAMIST:Wonder how many of these job goes to the foreigner ?? -
true ... if the intention and plan is already there, local can be selected to be train for the job rright ? Anyway, there are some job that do not need specialist care, surely there is a place for local...but what we are lamenting is that how many of these locally performing job goes to local ....Originally posted by SeeTees:If you Harrah's or Sun's Big Boss setting up the casino here would you engage local novices to man the tables and deal the cards?

Okay, our politicians say we will have 10,000 additional jobs when we build the casino.
Do they calculate how many jobs will be lost over 5 - 10 years due to bankruptcies of bosses, employees and general lazing around when more and more people turned to gambling for a living ? -

The 20 problems of autocracy as posted in another thread sadly were precisely caused by the constant propanganda and brainwashing that we have great leaders and they know how to make decisions. Let them decide everything.
What happen? When problems come all the leaders do will be to make denials and justifications that they have consulted the public of the matter or the younger leaders were the ones who made the casino decisions. This is in answer to the thinking that leaders will admit mistakes and take responsibility for any future erosions of work ethics or losses of economic competitiveness.
The most serious of these 20 problems - high costs of living and loss of economic competitiveness due to over-promoting meritocracy to the neglect of broad-based education were caused by such thinking that leaders are leaders and they should lead by making decisions on their own. It is sad that the population can be brainwashed into unquestioned belief that the leaders know best and how to be fair.
Incidentally, the Americans went crazy with electing their latest idols and came out strongly to participate in such event because you know what - judges like Simon Cowe are not too much in a hurry to decide but only lead the americans into voting and deciding who they want. What is wrong with such a government - lead from behind like the shepherd tending to the sheeps.
This then is only my view. No one should feel hurt about what I say. -
alamak, they only promise 10000 jobs, but did not promise most goes to sinagporeans mah

There was a broad hint as stated in parliament debates on casino today that we are lacking the skilled and higher-level managerial personnel in running the casino. So I have to agree that the plump jobs will go to foreigners.Originally posted by mannovo:U can bet on it tat these jobs will be for foreigners...we do not hve any groupiers, card dealers n it will be reserved for foreigners...of course, these casino owners will want their own pple..tey r here to make profits...wat is left probably is the waiters, bouncer n professional service provider for bodily needs...hee..hee.. -
From The Electronic New Paper
ABOUT MONEY, NOT MORALS
It all boils down to this, they argue.
Even if 'the world has changed', as pro-casino advocates put it, Singapore CAN afford to take a different path from regional competitors like Malaysia and Macau, and yet not be left behind.
Why? Because, ultimately, long-term risks matter more than short-term ones. And, yes, they insist - we're talking money here, not morals.
Even with a resort-cum-casino projected to pull in nearly $5 billion a year in revenues and taxes, adding as much as 1 per cent GDP growth and spinning off 10,000 jobs or more, the economic numbers eventually won't hold up.
The simple reason: Long after the high-rolling visitors have left our shores, the locals will end up mopping the bill for the broader fallout - bankruptcies, job losses, crime, divorces, dysfunctional families, rehabilitation programmes.
Australian and US studies, after all, have shown that even if tourists are the prime targets, some two per cent of locals will almost always become problem gamblers - with or without 'social safeguards' in place.
In the Singapore context, according to a government survey released this week, that adds up to 55,000 residents, not counting the spillover impact on their families.
So no, society won't 'break down' overnight. But looking ahead, the casino's detractors stress, it's not a gamble worth taking.
Has the Government heard them loud and clear? Well, their hope is, once D-Day is over in the next 24 hours, it'll be a case of 'all bets are off'.
Literally. -
I never expect that they had wanted to build 2 casinos!!!!
So "heong"
