Sibei xia suay. yalor ... stopping people coming from high risk is "RBA" and not xeno ... once high risk come down to low risk plus RBA then can always re-import again ma study so much with PHD cannot understand simple logic meh?

What to do? They are paid to post silly and illogical stuff in forums and social media. Or maybe they are just that. Wish I can meet them face to face to understand why they chose such a pathetic career choice. Is it because they can't find other jobs or is it because this job pays very well. Must meet face to face cos everything they said online about themselves are fake. Edited May 9, 2021 by Weez911 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sosaria Turbocharged May 9, 2021 Share May 9, 2021 (edited) 2 hours ago, Tohto said: Those work pass workers as construction paid are no more attractive for china worker. Don't think is easy attract from China. I think so too. Last time, long ago, the pay could attract malaysian and thai workers. Then slowly, as construction industry keep cutting costs, these workers also don't want to come here for such meagre salary. Next up is PRC, but gradually as they become more skilled and have more expertise, they will only want to come over for higher paying jobs in construction, not those FW-level kind of duties. Now those PRC that come here on work pass have many other options for jobs, in manufacturing sector or logistics sector, salary is better and working conditions too. Now using bangla and india workers, already bargain basement level salary. Which country next? Like it or not, this model of relying on low-cost labour cannot last forever. If, say, India, had modernized and developed at the pace of PRC, then where else to look for construction FW?

He or she just happens to go to school there. Anyway doesn't take genius to see where all the infections stem from - now the tap is closed hopefully things get better and not too late.

Fcw75 Hypersonic May 9, 2021 Share May 9, 2021 (edited) I was watching channel 8 news last night. A boss was lamenting that it’s very very hard to get foreign workers now and if employ locals, need to pay at least 20% more and with incentives. I was thinking ahborthen?? All these years of over relIance on foreigners and suppressing local wages not enuff ah? F&B, cleaners wages have been suppressed long enuff. I do F&B part time now so I know. This Covid will wake up a lot of bosses. Edited May 9, 2021 by Fcw75 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people already in novena square, not much different between going to sq2 or novena square lo. 😂 Two different building. You need to check out and check in when crossing over to the other building. A very tiny "corridor" separates both building. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
