Given the liberal S-passes MOM is issuing to foreign workers,
very soon the whole Singapore is going to be flooded with foreign
workers competing for all jobs available to the locals.
Civil service costs remain very high and the highly paid positions
are filled only by certain people meeting certain criteria.
S-passes application forms are open and there are no criteria to
ensure that the locals would get certain "first bites of the
cherries".
For a few dollars' difference, or relationship reason, the
employers who are MNCs might just hookwink the MOM into issuing
passes to favored choices from MNCs' countries.
IR is a special government pet project. S-passes will be issued
even more liberally !!!
Citizens are being told not to expect hand-outs, welfare..Now they
are being told not to expect job opportunities. Instead of carrying
on all these past pro-foreign policies, government should learn how
to be more pro-people, entrepreneurial and creative in looking
after the citizens' wellbeing.
