Failed policy of detering people to have more children in late sixties or early seventies. Penalised locals for more than 3 children ...instead of giving birth incentives..failed to train locals to equip with professional technical knowledges....failed to retain good people who went aboard for studies and never come back....Failed to provide world class education to third generation just because of to accumulate surplus national reserve and their salaries......
Now...they are getting FTs to replace short fall of births, giving subsidys in medical and education on expense of us. For boosting the economy further, they are inviting FTs at all cost.....
Just look at the New Year or Christmas Eve celebration at Orchard road....you will see mostly are foreigner workers. -

Wafer fabs got plenty of jobs...Lim Swee Say was practically begging Singaporeans to take up these jobs. They had to employ 51% foreigners since Singaporeans refuse to do shift work.Originally posted by dragg:i have lost all my confidence.
i have an impression nobody will offer me a job even if i apply.
how?
If you want a job, you have to change your mindset or else dun blame foreigners for taking them. -
Not about wafer fabs - the FT issue is not about that. It is about those foreign talents sitting on the top on of Singaporeans when Singaporeans should be sitting on them instead.Originally posted by oxford mushroom:Wafer fabs got plenty of jobs...Lim Swee Say was practically begging Singaporeans to take up these jobs.

Why not look at the benefits they offer foreign lecturers versus local lecturers. I have a friend from Scotland offered a high salary and free accomodation plus alot of other perks . I went to apply for fun since my qualification and experience are the same if not higher than his. I got offered a crap salary - I was laughing my ass off- a foreign country pays me better than Singapore. My question is why? Because I don't look ang moh or sound foreign enough? Thanks alot , I am better off as foreign talent in another country.
When Singaporeans ask why foreigners are getting top jobs - they get pointed to wafer fabs . Damn good diversional therapy if you ask me. -

Media Release: Singaporeans suffer under the foreign talent policy
16 Jan 07
The recent report showing that 70 percent of jobs created in 2006 went to foreigners is not a revelation.
In 2003, a group of professors from the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) reported that three out of four jobs created in the past five years went to foreigners.
Then, the Ministry of Manpower immediately issued a statement to denounce the NTU's findings and produced its own figures: That nine out of ten newly created jobs went to the locals.
The professors quickly withdrew their report, citing computational errors.
The SDP had, at that time, asked the Government to hold an inquiry to ascertain the truthfulness of the economists' report and not merely bully them into silence.
Four years have passed and it is clear that the professors were right. Worse, Singaporeans have had to continue to suffer in silence under the PAP Government's ill-conceived policy even though it is reported that a majority of people want a more judicious application of the foreign talent (Sunday Times, 14 Jan 07).
The Singapore Democrats repeat our stand: The foreign talent policy must be re-examined so that only foreigners with the requisite skills are allowed to work in Singapore.
We proposed the Singaporeans First Policy back in 2001 where we wanted foreigners to get the jobs only when we cannot find Singaporeans with the necessary skills to do them.
The PAP Government is desperately trying to make-up for the stunted population growth that resulted from its cruel and myopic Stop-at-Two family planning policy by flooding the society with foreign nationals.
The resultant economic and social consequences from such an unthinking move will yet manifest themselves in horrendous ways, if they have not already.
In addition, the Government refuses to acknowledge that the slow birthrate in Singapore is primarily due to the high cost of living and stressful lifestyle in our society which deters couples from wanting more children.
It also ignores the fact that the exodus of Singaporeans, most of whom possess talent and skills our country needs, to other countries is a result of the suffocating system created by the PAP.
It is clear that the Government not only has no intention of owning up to these problems it created, but now seeks to plaster over them by encouraging the indiscriminate influx of foreign workers.
Its main objective, of course, is to suppress the wages of working Singaporeans so that we can claim to be a “competitive” economy.
This race to the bottom is doomed to failure. It merely exploits the vulnerable to make the vulnerable even more vulnerable. It also ensures that while the rich get richer, the poor are consigned to an even bleaker future.
It escapes no one that the ministers continue to peg their salaries to the richest of the rich in Singapore, and ignore the plight of ordinary Singaporeans. The Government is able to do this only because the people have had their voices taken away.
The only remedy to this, and other problems that citizens face, is for the people to regain their political rights to free speech and peaceful assembly. Only when citizens are able to physically congregate en masse and speak freely will the Government sit-up and pay attention.

Govt can earn extra profit from FT by levy fee. Each person 200 bucks, how much govt can earn. LKY remind me of saddam hussein.
