Gukubird Neutral Newbie November 22, 2011 Share November 22, 2011 Can you imagine aa scenario next year. Many Singaporeans gets retrenched but the so called foreign talents remain employed. So called talents are those who have just 2-3 years work experience graduates doings jobs any sporeans can do and are on local package. I seriously wonder how they could even get into spore and get a job here ! This will be a nightmare scenario for the current ruling party, if out of the 4 million citizen, 60% are unemployed. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladykillerz 4th Gear November 22, 2011 Share November 22, 2011 talking c--k again. why repeat what the news had mentioned? as a leader, instead of repeating the news, he should tell his people, what he can do during this short period of impact, how far can we sustain, how much can the govt helps and can we even take some CPF to spend on our necessities? Ohhh.. CPF no money. =P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelloggs 1st Gear November 22, 2011 Share November 22, 2011 That is where I hope the WP mps will bang table in parliament and lead the unemployed sporeans on a road march. With so much noise, the FTs will feel the pressure. Some of my foreign colleagues could sense the resentment at last elections. However they feel as long as current government allow or invite them in, who cares what the citizens feel This will be a nightmare scenario for the current ruling party, if out of the 4 million citizen, 60% are unemployed.

Tom_kkh 1st Gear November 23, 2011 Share November 23, 2011 They are announcing that cuts and retrenchments are inevitable, so it is as good as telling the MNCs to retrench as they deem fit. But of course, as the head of a labour "union", he can only give very obvious hints and not spell out everything so succinctly. very irresponsible for a million dollar minister.. vividly remembered that my ex boss used the excuse "government got tell u all prepare for retrenchment right?" and forced 2 old staff to reduce their pay by $500 per month, they are earning only $1200 at the point of time. The company was doing good despite the so call slow down.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pltang Clutched November 23, 2011 Share November 23, 2011 our labour law is not protecting singaporeans from retrenchment..... comparing to the FT, we are all with the same retrenchment benefit, the only diff is work permit issue... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
