Sillyporeans losing 300,000 jobs to create 30k rubbish jobs!!!

Shotgun SG

A report from Credit Suisse estimates that 300,000 jobs would be lost. Replaceing 30,000 is but a fraction of the amount.

Fortunately, the report also mentioned that the bulk of the losses would be our dear FTs.

frankly, I am unsure why govt is painting such a grim picture over the last two weeks.

anyone who is on TV or net knows the economic world is literally on its knees.. so this constant barrage of how local economy is bad is driving me up the wall.

I am unsure whether this is to prepare for another lousy budget but somehow, I would prefer them to use the term "worst". And let's build from there.

Too much verbal vormit, and enough is enough..

One economist reported in the papers say it is to give the government reason to use the reserves.

The state media is just doing its job.

We need not guess guess.

Just have to ask ourselves:

1. How can we know exactly what kinds of jobs are created, everyone of them?

2. How can we know exactly how many of these jobs are created?

3. How can we know exactly how many jobs each company says they have vacancies?

4. How can we know , of these vacancies, how many are really filled up? Vacancy need not be filled up. Companies can quote any donkey reasons that they are hiring , interviewing but that does not mean there is a real vacancy. It could be for publicity that they are hiring and that is good for its image that it is still growing.

5. How can we know if Foreigners / citizens are filling up these jobs? Jobs created like hotel receptionists, waiters, cleaners, laborers, these add up to a sizable number of jobs. But tertiary grads are over qualified and not employed. Instead, mostly the eventual people employed can be foreigners. Why hire a citizen when u can hire for cheaper? lots are unemployed overseas. Its employers market.

I challenge anyone. Who can answer any of my questions?

I believed, but most of the jobs are cleaners, security guards, waiters, waitress, taxi drivers, hostesses and cooks.

but they forget to report that the 270,000 are in excess of over employment for the sake of levies and taxes.

George Yeo mentioned that foreigners are here so that Singaporeans will have jobs. Now that 200,000 of them are projected to leave.....then more Singaporeans to lose jobs?

Doesn't make sense.

Don't worry, they will find some obscured explanation for it when questioned.

Like Raymond Lim giving explanation about lowering public transport cost, he said they don't use crude oil as a factor in their pricing policies. But just afew months ago, they said crude oil is high, they need to increase transport fares.

After that, he will retort you, saying "you want free transport, it's possible, need to increase GST to 8.5%".

I am so happy that our Ministers are of such high calibre.

How about saying GST is to help the poor?

And also Wong Kan Seng saying just two days ago, "Once Mas Selamat is out of the country, he can go anywhere."

Wtf man.......paying them millions to say the obvious.

Maybe we do have a latent market for Mee Siam with hums?

if someone says that GST helps the poor, he must have backed it up with some reasons. dig it up.

That statement "Once Mas Selamat is out of the country, he can go anywhere." is not elementary to lesser mortals and the lion (which is a Scarecrow under the guise of Lion, he has yet to find the yellow brick road to the Wizard of Oz).

Lion has no balls while Scarecrow has no Brains.

What a bullshit thread!!

Dig up ur see lang tao ah.

When they first tabled the motion of raising GST to 7%, they mentioned it was to help the poor. And then vaguely stated it would be used for Workfare Bonus. There was no blueprint whatsoever in dollars and cents on the percentage that would go towards their proposed plan of helping the poor, even till today.

You want to dig ah? you go dig la! No concrete plan whatsoever, I assure you.
