Each casino created 15,000 jobs, meaning the 2 casinos, created
30,000 jobs, including resort USS etc etc about 40,000 jobs, and
all these jobs are not dangerous, dirty and demanding types like
electronic and heavy duty industries, which our govt knows that
these industrial are losing ground with competitor from China,
Vietnam, korea and thailand.
40,000jobs created within 5 years, more than Taxi drivers, and
they even need to go Philipines to get pinoys to work here, cos
not only pinoys are better in english, education,
they are also more service friendly than any other
countries citizens around this region. I bet most TDs have to agree
that we love to pick up pinoys gals, very friendly and jovious
type.
With the success that satisfy both the our govt and the
investor, sands and genting, the casinos had overtook Macau as the
biggest profit gainer around the region, that alone pulled in many
other operator into our land to invest, the outlook of singapore is
not going to be low cost industrials, it is going to be knowledge
base with high techs in biotech, design and creativity, the
likes of fusionpolis to whatever polis, together with financial
services and HQ centric, meaning organisation base their HQ here,
but operation in other countries.
