Ya true.. Coz if standard chartered pull out from Singapore. Then more Singaporeans lose their jobs. So mas can only use the word encourage or urge. Cannot use law on them. Coz once use law on them, they might feel that setting up business here is very risky, so end up decide to move away from Singapore, that is even worst. 

 

 

Actually no need to use law on them. As social media that exposed so many Indians working in that companies will put a bad limelight in them. Then if people see them hire so many Indians but so little singaporeans and decide that enough is enough and decide not to put money in that bank and put money in banks that support locals how? They will lose some customers. So these banks also knew it and will do something about it. No need law to actually do that. Social media is the best way to keep banks to be on the ball to hire more locals. 

 

CECA boh chup one. Their skin and hide much thicker than Sinkies lol...

Eh.. It depends, if there is enough people that decide to not to put money with standard chartered Bank due to they hire whole bunch of Indian people that affect their revenue. Then they will hire more locals. So social media actually is a very power tool. It's even more powerful then what mas encourage or what and at the same time no need what discriminate law or what. It is the people who has the power to do things that make it happen.

You think too highly of Singaporeans.

We cannot even work together and unite to just pump 1 brand of petrol in order to force other petrol companies to drop price coz everyone got their own loyalty and bank card for discount. You want us to try that with banks? 😅

SC just offer slightly better interest rates for their FD or whatever, everyone will say screw it and go back to them. 

SG United?....hahaha. More like SG Divided.

But really it is the people who will make it happen, not government. As when government put up laws, regulations and etc.. It make business doing more difficult and may backfire. So it is the people. So how to unite people? I mean unite in a good way like help out one another. Think should start young through education and also have a good role model from teachers, to vp to principal. Parents also need to be a good role model too.

Yes, MOM should breakdown the Singaporeans and PR numbers. More transparency can't hurt but the 3/4 local numbers cited may drop.

Nice to see such article being published. At least an opinion piece which doesn't avoid the elephant in the room.
