Perhaps it's really the Government, though I'm not really sure
on that. Some policies aren't really popular, especially when they
don't take into consideration what the general population is taking
(e.g FT and casinos).
Eventually, it will still depend on the individual himself. Only
they know best if it's the policies or other reasons that lure them
away.
There are good unpopular policies which were made by governments
but at the end , the populace see the benefits.
For the ft policy in Singapore, I don't really see the benefits
as a common person. We were promised that FTs were people who have
the far more global experience than local Singaporeans for
competition.
It now seems like the definitional term of FTs have been
expanded to foreign workers who have the same level of skill as
locals but can undercut locals easily.
Then we have pro-pap nincompoops, who obviously are secured in
their ivory tower for now, telling us that if we don't
choose to take a smaller salary or do what a FOREIGN WORKER ( not a
professional foreigner) does - we are to be blamed for our
predicament. It's a load of bull and they know it.
So now some people see it this way , if Singapore can take in
second rate quitters and treat them as talents , they can also
apply it to themselves.
Global competition can go both ways - as much as you can make it
cheaper for companies to operate in Singapore by suppressing wages
for the common middle class worker, other countries are offering a
higher wage than what companies in Singapore will pay - people will
definitely go if they have no attachments in Singapore or just
plainly got fed up.
