Good suggestion. 1 million too many. What about 1 a day? We need martyrs then.Originally posted by Agenda:Get 1 million singaporeans jump the MRT with you -
there is no way.
simply because that is the easiest solution. -
Can the PAP government be overthrown?
-
Get the FTs to commit more crimes.

Singapore govt will never reverse policy on your say so.
Here are just some ideas which will never make it pass policymakers
If you reverse the policy and uproot it totally now - FTs are too entrenched in the system - you will definitely see a negative economic impact which will end up in them being brought back and you get told that you are wrong.
Slowly start with all ministries government linked agencies - no permanent residents allowed to work in the public sector at all. Jobs are reserved for only Singaporeans. They are given a 6 month period to convert to Singaporean Citizenship . If they refuse, they have to resign.
Then move towards the companies that the government has a majority share in. Slowly get rid of FTs the way they got rid of older wiser Singaporean workers. Ask them to teach and then kick them out. That is actually the American way.
Then the Government start playing favorites by giving Singaporean owned and managed companies some tax kickbacks especially the SMEs.
Cut down places in the education system for foreign students. Bearing in mind , those foreign students have no experience and we should not spoonfeed them into sitting on top of Singaporeans. All foreign students should only be invited for postgraduate scholarships which factors more on their work experience, links and academic merit.
Cut down on local scholarships that send scholars overseas for their first basic degree. Increase the overseas scholarships to send out people with work experience and good academic qualifications as well as a history of community service should be factored in .
But the thing is ...this is all utopia....just ideas from my brainstorming. -
Like today's ST news:
Someone said that in Australia, all jobs must be advertised. The company must prove that no local meet the job requirement, then a foreigner can be hired. -

economic benefits always take precedence over individual rights. -

change the govt.
Popular government does not mean you have to be popular when you govern.
meaning as long as they are happy or think its right matters.
All it means is at the end of your term, you've done all the unpopular things that were necessary to get you where you have to go and you get there. You're successful and everybody's better off. That's how we govern," said the Minister Mentor.
is they how they govern by taking care of the successful one such as the middle upper, upper class elites only?
"If you govern by the polls, just keeping them happy for the next day, you'll be in trouble (because) we'll never make any progress."
by making singaporeans happy can get them into trouble and non progress?
The government has promised there will be an offset package to help the needy cope with the proposed two percentage point hike in the GST.
how? by rebating us $400/yr when we could have spent over $1000 on the extra 2% GST?
And Mr Lee said Singapore is not alone when it comes to a widening income gap caused by globalisation. But he expects things to equalise in the next 10 years, depending on how fast lesser developed countries can catch up and be on par in skills with Singaporeans.
By then, a new steady state will be struck between the higher and lower income groups. - CNA /ls [/b]
But singapore are alone when income gap of our politicians become wider and wider in comparison with the rest of the world.
now that is not part of the globalisation. -
Reverse policy on FT? Then more Singaporeans will lose jobs.
Without FT, our manpower costs will rise. More companies will move their operations overseas and more Singaporeans will be jobless. Take wafer fabs which employ 51% foreigners because locals avoid the shift work...without foreigners, these companies will have to move operations elsewhere, to Hong Kong or Thailand for instance. The locals which form half of their employees will lose their jobs. -
For anything to change, especially related to our gov, according to one uncle I know on the street; takes some kind of calamity to happen, such as a huge bomb blowing up the pariliament causing much damage.
In essence, it is like Slash and Burn...
But much suffering will ensure before reborth of a New Singapore...
I like the sound even - "New SG", or even "NSG"...
I don't give a crap about what's going on or what they do...
I look forward to New SG.... -
Can not, the govt will respond by recruiting 2 million more foreign talents to replace us!Originally posted by Agenda:Get 1 million singaporeans jump the MRT with you -
Where would Singapore be if not selling services to these FTs ?
And FTs also bring FT companies and investments. If there is no benefit for the people , and business contacts , do you think they would even suggest to their own parent company that setting even a subsidiary in Singapore is feasible?
All we need to take back from the Govt is CPF , what they keep and build for themselves many CPF buildings out of our own pocket $$$ and pay themselves peanuts salary.
And the CPF that FT no need to pay for our good country that we are paying for ?

Simple. Reproduce more. Increase the birthrate substantially....or vote the current government out.
