tspg SG Personally I oppose the setting up of a casino in Singapore. The social cost shd not be ignored in place of economic rewards.
robertteh SG To: all forumnites, If all agree that this place can be an idea club, all can start proposing ideas and agree with a simple voting system. Once voted, each must play a part in sending ideas to the right department to get them implemented by the authority. Exchange email and copy to each other. Integrity is no. 1, broadmindedness is no. 2 and willingness to help one another to do leg work and brain work is no. 3 of club rules. Ask sgforum for help. How to vote : Proposal no. agreed. Reply Y/N to proposal no. exchange email. Any other suggestion?
robertteh SG Dear all, Suggestion to form an idea club has been conveyed to moderator Greengoblin. Hope to hear from him soon.
Parka SG The casino is going to come up. There is no doubt about it. The revenue stream is simply too large to ignore.
Parka SG Hmmm... The part on hiring foreign workers. It actually boils down to 2 big factors. Either they are able to do things we Singaporeans can't do. Or they are just less costly to hire. (Companies' number 1 rule is to reduce cost improve profit). Other things being equal, economics will still favour the hiring of foreign workers.
robertteh SG To: Parka and all forumnites, Idea club can be formed informally by any one of forumnites with good ideas as posted here which may cover any topics e.g. creating jobs or business opportunities. Objectives (1) To benefit the country. (2) To benefit all forumnites and particularly those who subscribe to be in the idea club. (3) No ulterior motive. (4) Non-political. Subscriber may unsubscribe at any time. No charge or fee. Only participation is to post ideas for all the agree or not to agree by simple voting as may be recommended by all. I hope all will realize the benefits since we spend time in doing posting and giving ideas anyway freely. Sgforums is being asked to support it since it benefits them as well. Job creation and economic vibrancy will be created if some of our ideas can be accepted by the authority.
robertteh SG Beside Job Enlargement, Free-lancing Accounting/Management Services, Forming of Hobby Clubs and Ideas Club, another idea for job creation is given below: Example (5) of Job Creation: Turn all available surplus funds into assets while creating jobs. Use a portion of surplus (or pull-back from overseas investments) Lease out empty lands on temporary occupation licences everywhere to entrepreneurs based on their own conceptions of viable economic activities from import-substitution modern farming to simpler gardening products.
robertteh SG Dear forumnites, The above-stated 5 examples of job creation will be submitted to the MOM for study and implementation and for whatever it is worth if there are at least 4 subscribers of which 3 voted "Yes" with or without amendment. Awaiting your replies or subscriptions. Thank you.
