They can bring in the tourist by building singapore farris wheel
or casino but it's up to you how you going to attract these
potential tourist further into becoming your own customer to buy
your souvenirs or use your hotels, eat at your restaurants etc
...
Or they can try to convince investors to take a gamble to setup
shop here that will bring in jobs, but if there were no qualified
local workers with the required skillset, foreigners will come in
and takeover jobs instead, because if the investor ever got conned
into setting up shop in singapore with no qualified workers to man
his factories he will be pissed and not stay here very long and
very soon nobody will setup shop here as every investor will know
PAP garmen bullsh!t and out to con investors if word got around,
... the government needs to please the investors too right?
thats about the only thing we have ... a small population of
people so thats the only thing they can say to ask you to do is go
for retraining. You squeeze here, squeeze there in the end also
squeeze ourselves. blame ourselves for being mineral poor and being
siao ren wu nobodies or blame those people who caused singapore and
malaysia to breakup in the sixties if you like.
You must be very pissed off or you dun know know what you are
writing about given the topic.
The point is for ppl going for "paper chase" or retraining to
choose proper. What they are going after and not wasting money and
time on that programe and find themself can do nothing with that
tickets on any other parts of the world.
"We" are now in a global village, ie to say what your attainment
must enable you to use it else where and not just where you attain
it.
Back to my case, attain safety knowledge in SG but it not recognise
else where. People are using OSHA 18000s, SG coy just start 3 years
back and guess what MOM is? Cut and paste, ask you take the couse,
work only in SG. Work complete, no thank you, ask you go take
another couse(unrelated) pay back to sq1??? reach 55 go become
cleaner but 1st retraining?
Well, me now freelance, (not in safety) had work for MNC in
Singapore, had gone offshore, oversea and never will I work for
local coy or take up any couse in Singapore anymore even it world
recginse.
Couse fees are high in SG. (example; BOSIET/OPITO in SG cost
US$1250 that is about SGD$2300. same couse in MY is just
RM2000)
