Opposition parties in Singapore urged relooks at national labour
policies in their May Day messages posted online.
The Singapore People's Party said that at this point in the
evolution of Singaporeans' socio-economic needs, the Government
must go further to help locals, beyond recent initiatives such as
the Pioneer Generation Package.
"It is not sufficient just to create jobs. It is equally important
to create relevant jobs that Singaporeans want and can handle,"
said the party's secretary-general Chiam See Tong on Tuesday in a
May Day message.
He added that the Government needs to encourage more productive,
innovative and cutting edge companies to help build Singapore's
productivity.
