one obvious case is HDB flats.
what e sg population wants to see is lower prices but will the new rules change it?
& right until now, im still baffled why e gahmen keep focusing on "Singaporeans First" when shdn't it be the case right from the start?
This is SINGAPORE leh.. *duh*
which country ever put foreigners first one? even if they did, they will be ousted by the next election.
one thing that irks me further is e comment of 'cant be helped'..
i know sg is a small country with people as her only natural resources and singaporeans are not producing enough so... blah blah blah..
BUT i bet the question in most sg ppl mind is 'but do we need that MANY foreigners in the first place?'
esp when, i recall i did point out before, even the frontline/admin/sales staffs are foreigners!!! can anyone tell me in any way are they 'talents'? do they have skills that singaporeans lack such that we got NO ALTERNATIVE but DIE DIE HAVE to employ them?
one thing i have to give it to LHL..
he did the right thing by setting expectations right for e ppl..
the harsh reality right now is the world is flat.. MNCs can choose wherever they like to go so if they cant get e ppl they want here, they can simply choose not to come here or pack up & leave..
& Dear may be impacted from the tighter employment pass criteria... =(
guess we just need to await more details..
somehow our path is just not shun....
