KARTer 2nd Gear April 5, 2011 Share April 5, 2011 lifted from a website Coffeeshop Chit Chat - Open letter to MP Josephine Teo From: kojakbt89 Apr-4 10:41 pm Dear Madam, I saw you on TV and how you spoke about Singapore having an unemployment rate of 2%, I do not know how this statistic or measurement is done, but maybe you can provide the actual measurements used ? The reason is simple, there are many Singaporeans who are jobless (30+) and up, who find that their jobs have been REPLACED by the influx of cheap labor, and maybe you could actually provide the breakdown of the number of working foreigners we have in Singapore, and we can make the assumption that with every foreigner, one Singaporean is displaced or is jobless, based on the total population count of actual SINGAPOREANS (Singaporeans does not include PR mind you) It also seems that your foreign worker argument is flawed and incorrect as you stood all high and mighty to speak.

ALL PASSPORT that shows how special we are but then we need to make sure that after $10mil spent for integration ... works If you insist on queuing at the 'All Passport' counter, so be it. Don't complaint. There are 8 counters (at T1) for Singaporean over the right side and with auto clearance. Double confirm. no queue. How I know, I just returned on 1/4/11 @ 9.00pm and also during the peak period at T1. It takes 25 secs to clear the counter.

In fact, Singapore Changi airport have one of the smoothest & fastest clearance, even if you are not Singaporeans. I have been to many airport withs many of the counters (some even 1/2) no people to man. End up long queue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always nicer to see sit in office to see nice number that go to the street to see old man cleaning toilets right. Statistic is ok, it can be use to aid in looking at a problem, but it should not be used as the main, or only source. People may be employed, but may be working far below their qualification, or pay, to cit an example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigerwoods Turbocharged April 6, 2011 Share April 6, 2011 Karter, Among all MCFers, you have the most political points aired. Yes I also feel that for every complaint we have, it is almost surely be cast away as non-issue or branded as grouses, because they worship statistical info, totally believeing in it to judge that everything is fine. Therefore, we should continue to complain but we have to be constructive too, by offering solutions, if only they have an open mind... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
