S'pore cannot make do without foreign talent: Ex-MM Lee
-
true economic success is not solely institutional...that is a mirage...
it must engage the people
-
start working out concrete packages for the people....not just on how the country perform.....

Shouldn't Singapore come first?! I wont lie and deny that I am a Dr Tan Cheng Bock supporter but read it for yourself..
I quote from his blog post: http://www.tanchengbock.org/in-the-press/think-singaporeans-first-debate-1999
Tan Cheng Bock said,“Our message to Singaporeans must be clear and loud. We will take care of their basic needs. We will have schemes for our citizens to upgrade their skills training and education and they will get priority over others,including Permanent Residents. Now this is more important priority call than foreign talent. I can understand the rationale and need to inject such talent into our society. But many still don’t and especially in this time,such a call makes them feel threatened,bearing in mind that a good number of jobs are lost from the middle management level. I feel that it this juncture,this call for foreign talent might be a bit misplaced. Let’s think Singaporeans first.” 9 Mar 1999,The Straits Times
And I totally agree.... Dr TCB FTW!

I get use of people saying taking care of the people, the needs, the jobs, etc.....
In the end, things just increase, take for eg, transport cost and electrical cost. It too increases right? And they dare to say take care us?

With the increase of transportation and the rest coming soon, I wonder how are the locals going to survive. We have to tighten our belts and compete with the rich salaried paid foreign talents.

Bosses will always hire cheaper people (FT). Taking 2k a year for a NTU grad is a insult to him cause of his expensive school fees he pays. Taking 2k a year for a bombay degree on the other hand is considered lucky.
Understand the problem or not.

Who are the we? I have colleagues stayed up late to work to make sure the projects are finished on time, give extra to the companies.
When necessary I stay overtime.
Who are the "we"?
-
the peoples' discontents are understandable, and the system apologetically agrees...
peoples' consultation becomes all the more necessary an agenda now...as has been acknowledged....
this would only mean more concrete solutions than just leaving the situation as it is....no bosses who cares much about the business would not seek his peoples' true advice...

we the lazy ones and we who got spoilt for choices . no more choices . just do now .

ever wonder why the employers or manufacturers association want to support TT? it is because the govt could have already given them the backing to employ more Fts in singapore. yesterday i visit to my customer factory and was shock to see 50% or more of its engineers from china, phils, malaysia. geezz.........
is this singapore? or APAC

I agreed with Reyes as GIW need more money and tax from importing foreigners.
They will help the businessmen instead of the man on the street as they pay more protection money.
Expected more bullying and conflicts as the foreigner take over the place in 2 years time.
For the next national day, more will playing angry birds during the playing of the national anthem.
