PAP can solve all the issues. He do not expect any recession worst than 2008. But actually in 2008 sinkapore was not greatly affected due to QE policies from USA. The west was more affected in 2008 than in asia. But now asia has pick up massive amount of debts from US cheap monetary policies.:o:biggrin:

Most sinkies emerged from the recessions relatively unscathed. Some, including my wife and I, managed to pick up some cheap properties and stocks during the downturns. Relax. PAP will guide Singapore safely through the recession like they always had.

Actually, the reality is that for those over 45 years , once they are retrenched, it is extremely hard for them to get back into employment in today's environment. Unless, one is rich enough to retire, a number of them still have to find jobs to sustain their livelihood or to pay off their debts. Either they have to accept a lower pay which most of them have no other choice but even so, many companies have a glass ceiling on hiring older workers or they are compelled to work overseas away from friends and families.

The reality is with the same amount of salary, firms will rather give the job to a foreigner rather than hire a local sinkie even if he is willing to take such a pay.

Darned ... is that right ? I thought MOM has a new gimmick to advertise jobs first to Singaporeans before FT.

What LHL means is that since the PAP has won the GE, they can relax & wayang until the next GE.

The majority of Sporeans are considered as "Lesser mortals" & we are just digits to the PAP.
