Saw many threads here critising the PAP government mainly for
the foreign talent and gst increase.
While I am not a great supporter of PAP, I will like to offer
some perspective on these 2 issues.
GST increase
- I think increasing GST is really no need for us to have such a
big hoo ha reaction towards it. Afterall, prices including GST will
increase. Moreover, the government will be giving us money too from
the funds generated from increase in gst
Foreign talent
- Low wage foreigner workers doing jobs which singaporeans do
not want such as construction worker etc.
I think there is no need for us to be jealous of them as they
are doing jobs which we singaporeans do not want.
-High wage workers doing professional jobs such as Accountants
etc.
While we maybe angry that they are here to snatch jobs from us,
why not think about it in this way.
When these people come to singapore to work, being high wage
earners, they will spend alot of money on food,education, rental or
some may want to buy houses, leisure etc. When they spend money,
these will generate the economy of Singapore which will in turn
create more jobs for us.
Moreover, these foreigners maybe earning alot of money but after
deducting all the expenses, they do not really have that much money
left.
So why be jealous of them?
The only thing that I am not happy with these foreign talents is
the government sponsoring their education fees in polytechnics and
university which is alot of money
Well said, Mr SilverNg !!!
you must be the best talent sg has.
fyi, most people are definitely not pissed at construction or
factory jobs going ft.
they are pissed at high paying jobs going to fts, i suppose.
here by high pay i only mean jobs that are 4,5,6,7,8 to 10 K a
month, at least.
but this is my opine gathered on the ground.
you know right, i am your supporter.
While I am not a great supporter of PAP, I will like to offer
some perspective on these 2 issues. that is all. like you.
we need to keep lo profile. hee hee ....
