Who to retrench first - PM vs Labour Chief
Thursday, 11 December 2008, 10:15 pm | 1,111 views
NTUC Chief Lim Swee Say

LABOUR chief Lim Swee Say wants companies to put Singaporeans at the end of the queue when shrinking the number of their rank and file workers. Mr Lim believes the way to go in the current downturn is for firms to let non-Singaporeans go first, by not renewing the contracts and work permits of their foreign workers. ( Straits Times – 5 Dec 2008 )

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong

If we just send away the foreign workers now, it will do us harm. For example - companies which are already in difficulty and they hire half foreign workers and half Singaporeans and you tell them that foreign workers must go out. And when you take Singaporeans, his cost will go up and the company may close. And if the company closes, even the half who have jobs may lose their jobs. ( Lee Hsien Loong, 8 Nov 2008, CNA )

Retrench President, MM, SM, and that PMO so-called labour chief. Singapore saves more than S$10m per year for funds to help the working class retrenched and unemployed.

Don't worry about President, MM, SM and that PMO so-called labour chief. They've already collected enough salaries to live a few lifetimes comfortably, provided that they don't burn in hell but manage to reincarnate as human beings somehow.
