No biggie as long as there are still 60% hold belief in them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telling locals no need degree .. then 180 turn and locals not qualified. Now encouraging locals go become hawkers to preserve their Hawker Culture UNESCO status, but need Diploma in Hawker-ing. They had no idea how absurd they sounded in their priorities.

And there are many such accounts here. Each one is supposed to have his own "personality" to give a misleading impression to others here. Anyway, just to let you know.. I have very very low opinion of people doing such a job (not grab). I will end my life if i ever need to make a living (not grab) this way. This is what it is, what I am saying is the truth. Drive grab is my full time job. If you don't believe, then so be it. Anyway it's all individuals choice.. like me, I choose grab over my preference.. like I mentioned above. So each individual is unique in a way.. everyone think differently, that's okay. Edited July 7, 2021 by Yewheng 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Diploma in Hawker-ing is optional, but the gist of it is still about encouraging locals to take up hawkering as a viable career. They call it Hawkerpreneurship for fark's sake... https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/environment/new-work-study-programme-for-young-aspiring-hawkers https://www.nea.gov.sg/our-services/hawker-management/programmes-and-grants/hawkers-development-programme I have nothing against being a hawker, it's an honest living and a back breaking job, most definitely not for the non-committed. But that's beside the point. On one hand, they are saying locals aren't qualified enough for IT and Banking roles, on the other, they are whisking the youngsters to explore being a hawker.

I think this is explained by tsl, more Indians is as a result of more IT and finance jobs here, not because of result CECA, coz naturally there is more of such talent in Indian, so not just Singapore but all over the world would expect more of it. Like many said Indians are experts in maths. Even without CECA, maybe the situation now is wa so many Indians, become wa so many an mohs or what, Coz end up still need to hire good talent. If no CECA, less businesses setup here and end up less good jobs created to singaporans. Also India population is very huge, and many Indians have to go overseas to improve their standard of living, so naturally more will be everywhere in the world not just in sg. Just like say 10 to 20 yrs also, we also complained wa so many Prc here in Singapore. It's the same concept, China population is very huge so naturally there will have higher number coming in. But nowadays China has developed so fast that a lot of China do not need to go overseas to improve their standard if living as now in china they have good jobs there. So where is the complaint of wa so many Prc now? IT sector, maybe would understand that Indian would dominate (but I still feel what have our Uni been doing, every year top 10 but cannot generate IT professionals?...are we investing correctly) but for Finance sector for Indians to dominate?? I think this need further breakdown, what is meant by Finance sector? Banking, Call centre, Accounting, Treasury, investments...i think Singaporeans fit well in this group...lots of investment bankers role that we can fit in as well as Accounting profession. So if Indians are coming in to take away these finance roles as well then something is not right!! just my 2 cents... ↡ Advertisement 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
