Casinos or the next IR resort is inevitable, this is not new, it
had been floating among peoples in Singapore.
The directives of govt is to go into high tech and high service
industry, high tech meaning you need higher skill and competence
people, so far those who have not been upgrading all these years,
they will face structural unemployement, meaning, got job but you
cannot do it due to lack of skill or qualification to do it. This
inbalance will result in influx of so called FT into our city to
make up the shortage, low industrial like making pen, shoes, food,
paint or shampoo is going to be factory of yesterday, in fact, now
you hardly see them.
Therefore, it is imperatives for Singaporeans who are looking
for job could end up with no job in a tight labour market situation
as Singapore. end up most took up TD or security guards, there are
insitution that can help one to upgrade, train and place, skill
development, and one of them is e2i, purely for singaporean, so is
learning Hub which provide WSQ certification, Working Skill
Qualification that allow you to take up a higher skill and higher
paid job.
Opening of casino is not a problem, we already got experience
people within, unlike the first time, but to train the peoples is a
task, because most Singaporeans do not to go back to school, even
with per hour pay, not much is forthcoming.
