Ah Keat tells Sinkies to fuck off. Bringing in foreigners is still the way to go. Not happy?

Not possible to 'bubble wrap' S'poreans from foreign competition, especially with rise of remote work: DPM Heng​

SINGAPORE - In the coming years, millions of university graduates in Asia alone will be added to the global talent pool, alongside the accelerating pace of technological change and disruption.
Against this backdrop, "the reality is that it is not possible to 'bubble wrap' (Singapore's) workers from foreign competition and still expect to succeed", said Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat on Friday (Aug 13).
Compounding the matter is the normalisation of remote work due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and the recognition that "working from home" is just one step away from "working from anywhere".

"Employers can easily seek out the best skilled workers from all parts of the world… This means foreigners do not have to be in Singapore to compete with us," said Mr Heng. "It would be increasingly difficult, if not impractical, to confine opportunities by geography."
Mr Heng made these points in a pre-recorded speech at a forum on shaping the future of Singapore, the last in a series organised to celebrate 115 years of the founding of the National University of Singapore (NUS).
Mr Heng then took to the stage in-person for a virtual dialogue with NUS staff, students and alumni. He was asked by moderator Suzaina Kadir, an associate professor and vice-dean of academic affairs at NUS' Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, how students about to enter the workforce could prepare themselves to be truly global.



The key lies in having a mindset orientated towards qualities of confidence, humility and openness, said Mr Heng, who is also Coordinating Minister for Economic Policies.
"Confidence in ourselves, in what we can do and in how we can equip ourselves as best as we can to emphasise our creativity, imagination, ability to do some good," he said.
"But, at the same time… you have to combine confidence with that humility to learn to be able to work with others. In particular, there will be many different ways of doing things, and we must not assume that our way is the best way."
Mr Heng added: "Singaporeans venturing out need to have this mindset where we see what we can contribute to causes, and what it is that we bring to and can learn from the discussion. That process, I think we can do a lot better."

It's good that Heng will not be the next PM.
China, S. Korea and Japan send their best to learn from the developed countries.
Singapore hires PMETs from developing countries.

if the reality is that, then why we taxpayers need to pay these good-for-nothing millions in salaries?

So all the CECA can work remotely then so Sinkies don't have to put up with the viruses and odour and the brats they bring into the country.

You need to have FTs physically present for the rent-seeking economy to reap benefits. Working remotely has nothing to do with it.

The pappies are masters at using strawman bullshit and deflection tactics. :rolleyes:

I bet kids aren't taught this in school these days. Otherwise, the 160th media would no longer hypnotize them.

broadband and internet connection in india may pose challenges, but it’s better off if they work remotely in nz. a senior vp of google decides to do just that, and he moves his family from sillycon valley to nz for good.

here's the deal:

PAP-pigs are not in an enviable position.

We saw in the recently held Olympics. Tiongs, Japs, Gooks, Taiwanese and Hongkies could all win medals. Stinkypura could not.

This is the reality. Cold hard reality.

Stinkypura - again- just like CECA or ASEAN is just about good for nothing and good at nothing.


Talent matters.
Since stinkies have never produced any legends or talents or anything of note, and worse yet, with one of the lowest birth rates, the pool of born and bred stinkies have shrunk further while talents from other countries with far higher populations and much greater talents are increasingly better able to harness their potential, all combine to signal a bleak future for future gen of stinkyporeans.

PAP-pigs know these facts. They just can't say them out loud. Stinkypura may not even survive the following decade.

Let alone last long enough to see its 100th birthday. Get used to it.

Now one complaint by stinkies is valid.

If PAP-pigs yammer all day and night about competition being global, they should open up the parliament and ministerial positions to foreign competition for the best global talents to improve stinkies' prospects in life. It's a certainty that dot sized pee sai such as stinkypura or its wrongly but widely idolized mentor of sorts, the evil kafir Zionist terrorist entity, dont have enough talents to sustain anything meaningful and need to rely on imports. In case of stinkypura, in earlier years, some of thsoe imports were from jh, then from tiongkok, nowadays from ceca which explains why things have gone downhill.

For zionist terrorists they import supposed talents or loser immigrants from eastern europe. looking at state of eastern europe it's not a surprise why zionist terrorists need to beg their yankee cash cow for some fodder to the tune of hundreds of billions of free $/euro etc.

Sinkies really need the spurs in their hides. Too many of them are skivers and want the easy way out. That's why so many sinkies are working for Grab or Food Panda in in low-IQ jobs.

It's 'corporate greed' that develops property, set up businesses and improves existing businesses ranging from bubble tea to e-commerce and even politics. The presence of oppies help to keep our PAP leaders on their toes and to never slack on the job.
