The onus lies on the PAP policies.

The PAP is responsible for the intake of the FTs. The FTs merely responded like any human being could, to seek for a better life wherever it may be.

 

So what you should do is not to yell at the other pinoys who merely want a life here. What you should do is to speak loudly with your vote against the PAP. Vote for more opposition, ensure that PAP does not get a mandate! So they do not have unfettered discretion to wield power over any policies without having to slug their policies out in a brainstorming session in parliament against the other parties who have alternative views.

 

Vote for a balanced parliament and not for PAP.

Quite true, sometimes we cannot blame these FTs, it is the govt of the country which implemented policy which allow these people to come in freely. Too bad we have a govt who doesnt really support and protect their own people.

In general, I think our government wants to support our people although I cannot say for all. Otherwise they won't be trying to make amendments after the last election. They are just too well fed to know what's going on. :-) And they will never be able to make proper amendments. No one can.

 

This is why we must never give any political party an unchallenged mandate. No full power for PAP, WP or SDP. Everyone has their fair share of power sufficient only to allow their quality members get into parliament. Why should we pay taxes for a partial parliament while the rest either sleeps, don't even turn up or asks stupid questions like dirty ceiling and take cheap shots on rivals? Never put all your eggs into one basket. Never believe anyone for asks for full power claiming he has the capability of making your life better if he is unchallenged. The truth is, no one can. And no one will. This is just pure practical human imperfection.

Tight labour market to get even tighter

Tuesday, January 6, 2015 - 10:33

The Business Times

Some economists are predicting that the clarion call to labour-starved bosses to be more productive will sound louder this new year because there are now fewer housewives and retirees to woo back to work.

Labour force participation rates among women and older folk climbed to new highs in 2014 - 58.6 per cent for women and 68.4 per cent for men aged 55 to 64. Economists say these levels are about the limit already, which means the last sources of such workers for employers may soon be depleted.

United Overseas Bank's Francis Tan said: "The government has done all it can to help companies bring back these workers, but there's still not enough of them. It's going to be harder because this pool is drying up."

He added that when the demand for part-time workers picks up in the months ahead, the reality of there being fewer housewives and retirees returning to the job market will probably sink in.

The timing can hardly be worse. Economists expect that even more hands are needed on deck this year, in an already tight labour market, to help out with Singapore's 50th birthday bash; other major events on the calendar, such as the South-east Asian Games, will also create job vacancies.

CIMB's Song Sen Wun said that shops, restaurants and hotels would need to hire more workers to cope with the increased business.

Elaine Ng, managing partner of HRBS, a human-resource consultancy firm, added: "In the retail sector, humans are still needed to serve the customers; machines can't be employed."

But where are the bosses going to get the extra workers when even housewives and older Singaporeans are hard to come by?

The economy has been in full employment, making workers scarce. The last available official figures pointed to a 2 per cent jobless rate last September; economists and professional recruiters such as Adecco believe that the unemployment rate would remain largely the same this year and even beyond.

OCBC Bank's Selena Ling said: "If the global recovery pans out while the supply-side policy curbs remain intact, then the unemployment rate will stay at historically low levels in the near term."

The government has said that there would be no more drastic curbs on the import of foreign workers, but levies on these workers have been raised to levels that have deterred hiring - and there is still one more increase in the levy to come this July.

Tightening the tap on foreign workers is a key move to restructure the economy and raise productivity. Ng Wei Wen of ANZ Bank said that such supply-side restructuring moves would continue to pose a big challenge to businesses in 2015.

CIMB's Mr Song said that many small and mid-sized firms (SMEs) are not up to it, with DBS Bank's Irving Seah expecting more firms being forced to close shop or lay off workers this year.

Restructuring has made many workers redundant, though they have been able to land jobs quickly because there have still been many openings. The number of laid-off workers jumped from 2,410 in the second quarter of last year to 3,500 in the third quarter, the latest figures from the Ministry of Manpower show. More than half of these redundancies (58 per cent) were in services.

But the labour crunch is likely to stick around, with employers having fewer sources of workers.

UOB's Mr Tan, noting that the push to rehire housewives and retirees and to boost productivity was the government's answer to the labour shortage, said that employers have only one avenue left - which is to raise productivity.

The government aims to double productivity growth to 2-3 per cent yearly by 2020, but has had little progress to report in the last five years; Mr Tan and DBS's Mr Seah separately estimated that overall productivity growth was zero during the period.

CIMB's Mr Song said: "The big companies have responded to the productivity drive and pulled up their socks, but many SMEs - and SMEs make up the bulk of the numbers - have not made much progress."

The productivity lag caught the attention of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, who lamented in his new year message that productivity growth had been weak for the third year in a row, and that in the first nine months of 2014, it was minus 0.5 per cent.

"We must do better," he declared, and asked for effort to be put into helping companies and workers upgrade and become more productive.

The poor productivity performance would have put a lid on sharp pay hikes; salary increases have stayed pretty tame despite an over-stretched labour market and relatively high inflation: The nominal median monthly income for full-time resident workers rose just 1.8 per cent over the year in June 2014.

Economists and human-resource practitioners say high costs and greater competition in a slow-growing economy have also played a part to moderate wage rises.

HRBS's Ms Ng, who predicts wage hikes of 4 to 5 per cent this year, said: "Employers, though facing a tight labour market, are not going to price themselves out of the market and solve this problem by increasing salaries of their workers unduly."

Productivity must thus rise to support real wage increases - and this reality is likely to hit home this year because employers will have few solutions to their labour shortage.

Still, many companies - the SMEs in particular - remain trapped in a vicious cycle. They have not been able to spare the workers for training and upgrading because they have already been so short-handed, and there is a limit to the degree they can automate, especially in the services sector.

A tighter labour market is not necessarily going to help; it may give companies an even bigger headache. But they have little choice. The alternative is to pull down the shop shutters.

Singaporeans fully employed

we really need these foreigners to work

 

Let me tell you how MOM count the numbers to "make sure" Singaporeans are "fully employed"

 

In my case, when I was retrenched a few years ago, they call me up for survey.

I couldn't find a suitable job, bcuz the ones I'm qualified for has usually about 100 foreigners competing with you with "bigger" paper qualification and lower asking pay.

 

So in the mean time to survive, I started selling something.

 

When I mentioned this selling to MOM, they immediately classify me as not unemployed, but running my own business.

 

I also think that after x months, they will remove you from the "unemployed" list, either stating you are retired, not actively looking for job or something.

 

This all makes the data looks good. Singaporeans are fully employed.

Who own asiaone har?

[Jayy25]

why bother discussing over what to do over a single FW? he is not the first one.. will not be the last one...

 

No point waste our time over a single FW...

 

 

some say stupid things... we get upset... some of us treat some of them like shit...

and the cycle goes on

 

 

nicely put 江山易改，本性难移

 

factually 狗改不了吃屎

 

 

i really hope we all concentrate on censuring the guys who are leaving the tap unattended...

sometimes it is good to take note of such threats or seditious comments otherwise we will have a "Pearl Harbour" in SG whereby the Americans at that time ignore and underestimate such information that their rivals is on their way....

 

there are also a few cases happening in the states where a korean boy posted video online stating he want to kills his classmates and teachers and no body bother or in your own words

" No point waste our time over a single FW... "

 

no one bothers then.. what happen? why must wait things to actually happen then start to push blame to each other and then learn......

This definition is actually pretty standard though..

 

I remember back to my school days, the definition of "unemployed" was basically (paraphrasing here, I am too lazy to google the exact terms)

 

1. Available to start work now

2. Actively seeking work

3. Not currently working

 

So although you might consider yourself unemployed, by "selling something" you are working for income...

 

This definition is not unique to Singapore and is widely accepted

Lol, that means if there are 100,000 unemployed singaporeans. they will put as 99,999 as retired, self-employ or not looking for job.....

last one put as deceased.....that one will make our employment rates look good.......
