Besides Seagate, which has made Singapore their key media production centre, Showa Denko and Hoya also have significant hard disk media operations here. These three companies combined practically create a new hard disk media sector in Singapore. In 2005, Singapore already accounted for 25% of the world market share for disk media.
With SeagateÂ’s new investment into their third media plant, SingaporeÂ’s lead as a key manufacturing location for hard disk media globally will widen -
Most of them go to Malaysians, isn't it? Many factory jobs are too low paid and hours too long, resulting in many S'poreans spurning them.Originally posted by lionnoisy:21,500 jobs will be added every year! -
Most of these jobs are less than 1K a month and work 12 hr shift. This kind of pay how to survive in Singapore so only Malaysians can take up the offer.Originally posted by Rock^Star:Most of them go to Malaysians, isn't it?

... which brings us back to the issue of FTs...Originally posted by NUS_Superst@r:Most of these jobs are less than 1K a month and work 12 hr shift. This kind of pay how to survive in Singapore so only Malaysians can take up the offer.
and this is the reason why locals aren't (cannot afford to be) taking what the FTs are taking on as jobs. -
Haha this topic should be closed. Wonder why it was even started. Huh lionnoisy?

..errrmm..
isn't it supposed to be 'dying' and not 'dieing'? -

Telling people you well updated with informations or showing off your capability?
Do you know and fully understand the statistic of all you have shown?
How many factories are in overseas?
How many singaporeans are being employed.
How many singaporeans are employed in shipyards.
Do you know how far are we behind compare to Taiwan and HongKong?
Do you know how agony and difficult is for a working couple with take home pay S$2000 to suport two children and all the expenses. Haircut alone already cost S$30 to S$40 a month for the whole family, even for salt, you still have to dig out from pocket to pay.
Do you understand with these factories being newly setup.....how much workers are being paid?
Do you know that most factories in Singapore employed mostly Malaysians with higher post like QC, QA and supervisors. They are paid with S$1500-S$2500 inclusive of OT...but converted to ringit and the lower living cost in Malaysia had made them considered it worth of the effort.
Don't keep farting and farting for the sake of farting. Use your backside to think carefully and realistically.
Singaporeans are [b]NOT[/b] lazy...it is the circumstances of high living costs had turned them away or gave up..with poor salaries
I knew a guy who works in PUB as technician...his wife is suffering severe diabetic and resting at home. Three kids, one in Colleage, two in secondary school. He has to wake up at 530am to prepare breakfast for his children and does housework before he goes to work. He has to rush home by 6pm to do laundry, houseworks and cook for whole family and thereafter he has to kick-off again to drive Taxi until midnight.
So...what do you think? Don't fart for the sake of farting.

every job is important.
If a new factory creating 10 jobs and say, 3 go to sporean,
shall we be happy?Of course,3 more families are
saved from unemployment.
Less factories,more unemployment.
what are your suggestions,then?
2.U jus try put CSJ or alike into power and see them bar
foreigners working here,minimum wages ,etc.....

21,500 jobs created...if only 3/10 goes to Singaporean thenn its as good as only 6450 jobs created. -
21,500 jobs will be added every year!
Seriously, every year? I would doubt this figure. Technology evolves fast, for all you know, in 5 years everything is done by robots and you don't even need 21, 500 workers. You need just 500 to operate it, maintain it, repair it, etc. -
This has been a dream for some countries or some people but it should not be fulfilled as many medium and low cost businesses are still relying heavily on manual methods to produce their goods and delivery their services. The cost of the businesses do not justify the cost invloved for high tech Robotic machineries and skilled engineers or technicians to service the hardware.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Seriously, every year?

However some industries relating to hazardous chemicals agents or conditions where a human worker is not practical to carry out the tasks/ duties, a robot will be in place to take up the role. Some industries that involves testing or manufacturing of highly precision products may use a robot for pick and place, measurement or assembly purposes.
Seagate is one plant that heavily invested on Robotics applications. Anyway with more products (both industrial and consumer related) requiring storage and memory, the hard disk industry is going to make good for the years ahead. Just like the silicon industries (e.g Intel and AMD), the remainding giants of the hard disk drive industry (e.g Seagate and HGST) should rule for now. -

ST is very credible when reporting on international and domestic petty issues. But news on employment and politics? Don't ever bet on it.
History has shown that countries dominated by one-party regimes tend to distort news in order to score political points. S'pore is no different. Remember mussolini, hitler, Mao, Kim Jung Il, Castro?
Now wakey wakey. -
face it, it's just a matter of time. Just look at garment industry, famous brands like Levi's, closed their factories in U.S. for the reason that they can contract production in China and other countries with far cheaper labor. (quote from source below)
http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/Southwest/01/08/levi.s.closing.ap/index.html
Think on the side of the factories owner, when you are doing labor intensive industries, would you like to do it in Singapore or China/Cambodia/Vietnam(where you get much cheaper labor)?
There are still quite a number of garment factories in Singapore, but they already have bigger branch factories in other countries. They keep the singapore HQ for the reason that they started here, and it's more easier to get business deals in singapore. Gap used to have buying office only in SG and HK, but there will be one in China soon. So they can placed order directly in china, dont have to go thru SG/HK anymore.
If you happen to go to Wuxi, China, drive around the industrial park, take a look at those major names in electronics, look at how big their factories are. Those factories means jobs!! Jobs for chinese, not singaporean, why? not bcos they work better, it's bcos they are cheaper.
If SG govt tells ppl there will be more factories coming, why dont they tell the ppl how many factories have already moved overseas? Tell us the reason why these factories choose Singapore instead of other countries. What makes them put side the labor cost factor? -
No one hates Singapore. Just because you disagree with certain policies enacted by the government doesn't make you less patriotic or someone who hates his country. In fact, government critics criticize in order to bring about change in what they see as wrongs, as it pains them to see that mistakes are being made in the governance of their country.Of course, there are exceptions to that as there are exceptions to some 'self-proclaimed patriots' whose embrace of the ruling party is to serve their own personal interests. Even they love Singapore as they are still successful under the Singapore system. Let me tell you who hates Singapore - individuals that detests our existence. To find that, you would have to look across the causeway. So next time u plan to simply apply the logic to equate anyone who disagree with the governmental stand point as someone who hates Singapore, please think again.Originally posted by saline:wow, there are some singapore hating ppl here. so seriously, when are u guys leaving this place? -

What are the actual facts that accompany these glorious announcements ?
It remains a fact that Singapore's population is comprising largely those in their early to late 50s - being the biggest numbers from the baby-boom years of 1945's to 1950's.
It remains a fact that the recent retrenchment has hit this age group the hardest, and most of them from the white collor administrative and service sector remains jobless, or partially employed.
Do you seriously believe that for every 10 jobs created, 6 of these newly created jobs goes to Singaporeans ?
We should be seeing less of these 50 plus retrenched Singaporeans on the streets, and in the queue for job interviews.
All the new investments in hard disk manufacturing plants will employ the largely Malaysian workers, coming over daily in the blue colored buses with Malaysian registration plates.
How many Singaporeans are actually employable in these high-tech assembly factories - or even those high-tech bio-chemical or pharmaceutical plants ?
If the Singaporeans - in their 50's, who have been retrenched from their previous administrative and service sector jobs - were to be employed in these assembly line works, are they truly gainfully employed, and their skill and training truly maximised; or are they partially redundant as they are over qualified for production works ? -
Intel and Micron Technology to launch a new joint venture in Singapore, to make NAND flash memory chips, in the second half of 2008.Title : Intel Corp and Micron Technology launching new joint venture in S'pore
2. 09.11.2006 Natural Fuel invests US$130 Million to build world's largest biodiesel facility in Singapore
By : Ng Shing Yi, Channel NewsAsia
Date : 07 Nov 2006 2100 hrs (GMT + 8hrs)
SINGAPORE: Singapore is set to have one of the most advanced chip manufacturing plants in the world, according to Economic Development Board (EDB).
It was commenting on plans by Intel and Micron Technology to launch a new joint venture in Singapore, to make NAND flash memory chips, in the second half of 2008.
NAND flash is used for consumer gadgets like digital cameras and mobile phones.
No financial details were given, but according to the EDB, the project is a multi-billion dollar plant.
Aylwin Tan, Director of Marketing Communications at Economic Development Board, says: "It's significant in that it's the first NAND flash wafer fab in Singapore that is based on the 12-inch technology. At the 15 nanometre technology level, it's also one of the most advanced in the world.
"The project will be a multi-billion Singapore project. We'll employ about 1,500 people, with ratio of 50 percent engineers and technicians. The other 50 percent will have a high percentage of skilled operators."
The venture is Intel 's first manufacturing investment in Singapore but the fourth manufacturing facility to be jointly run by Intel and Micron.
The two partners formed a US$2.4 billion joint venture called IM Flash a year ago to make NAND flash memory chips.
Construction of the new plant will begin in the first half of 2007, with production expected in the second half of 2008. - CNA/so -
