4) Mas Selamat Escape lor. NSFs get extra duties without any OFF
after the duties? No single appreciation of thanks from the army or
any of the ministers.
5) Fresh graduates cant find a job or cant find a job that pays
well. Wages depressed by foreigners who expect a lot less
6) NS. 2 years of mandatory NS, govt has to do something to
safeguard jobs (as they are delayed as compared to foreigners and
women who have that 2 years extra to gain more experience) and also
provide preferential treatment to show appreciation towards the
guys here, and not $200 extra bonus or the $9000 CPF topup. Govt
must ensure ICT, RT does not disrupt men's careers.
7) Transport infrastructure. Everyday jams at expressways. Poor and
inadequate bus / MRT services - poor frequencies /
overcrowding.
8) Cost of living - Groceries and food prices keep going up. NTUC's
role as price moderator for groceries doesnt seem to take much
impact?
9) The right "talents". Talents that we do not have, and not
talents we have, but only thing FT brought in was based on the fact
that they are cheaper to hire.
10) The right workers. We do not need so many service staff (sales
assistant / waiters / waitresses / store manager / doctors) from
overseas. Foreigner workers needed only for nursing / maid /
cleaning / construction / transport workers (bus drivers).
11) Foreign students on S'pore govt scholarships. The govt should
provide more scholarship opportunities to locals here instead of
heavily granting most scholarships to foreign students. Limit
number of scholarships given to foreigners, ensure only good ones
come in, and not any foreigner.
Point 6 and 8 is my most concern.
