So much for the SG Gov WDA Jobs Bank and the 'Fair Consideration Framework'.
This would not have happened had the pappies not give out PRs to only those foreigners who have lived and worked here for a long time e.g. 10 years. Nothing is going to stop the FTs from living it up with an Employment Pass. They can still get sloshed up on liquor at Clarke Quay, or cycle across a road junction with heavy traffic, or whatever makes them happy.
The pappies were deliberately doing this, firstly to replenish the CPF reserves. Secondly, it also helps to fudge statistic by lumping the pink and blue cards together and calling them 'Singapore Residents'.
