As expected his policy of reshaping this economy as service
oriented is going to face a lot of resistance.
There are a lot of singaporeans in the manufacturing sector and
that includes the some of you. To hear Tan Jee Say say this is a
great trepidation on your perceived future. If ever this thing is
to be done, it shd be gradual....people's rice bowls have to be of
top priority before the graduated orientation to a service
economy.
Singaporeans may not vote this guy due to his so called "drastic
measures" but 10-20 years down the road, you will see that salaries
of the manufacturing sector would not have increased very much. And
don't be surprised if you're retrenched on a fat pay by your 40s
and 50s due to the continued influx of foreigners. You get what you
vote for. I just feel sorry for Singapore in the long term and it
only vindicates why I've decided to move out in the first
place.
Up to this stage, there are still people saying that
manufacturing shouldn't be phased out. In the first place, no one
is saying it should be phased out.....just a restructuring of the
economic pie lol.
Reminds me of my friend who voted PAP in 2006 because he was
afraid of being denied his first HDB. Then all the shit came,
prices went up like hell and when I had a chat with him again, he
said he wasn't the only one who voted PAP. Haha. You get what you
vote for....when the engineer 10-20 years later is not earning much
more than the engineer of today, and with a huge percentage of
singaporeans in the manufacturing sector, the country's Gini
coefficient is only going to get wider and wider. The country's
basically screwed.
go setup yer own company.i wuld rather stick with manufacturing
as its easier for me.up to people and what they can do with
accumulate knowledge.
for me....manufacturing goes hand in hand with service side.u
build a product.......u need boxes to package them..so u contact
the sales people(service) in the packaging company..they liase with
u and yer packaging gets delivered by their delivery
drivers(service side)u get printers to see the blwed of the
packaging.another liason person.
then u package yer products and ship them worldwide.
its all related,,,not one industry can do it alon by itself.
