[h=1]Govt, bosses, unions - things to get 'noisier': Tan Chuan-Jin[/h]

The Government, employers and unions have previously solved problems quietly behind the scenes, but things will get 'a bit noiser' going forward, Minister of State for Manpower Tan Chuan-Jin said on Monday.
'That is something that we will take in our stride,' he told the participants at Monday's Tripartite Forum. Not long after, a union leader proved the junior minister right when he said that the Government had not done enough to protect Singaporeans in recessions.
Singapore Shell Employees' Union president Yeap Tong Ming charged that Singaporeans were retrenched while foreigners kept their jobs during the downturns in 1986 and 1998.
'Our Government should protect the workers during retrenchment... Come to the crunch, Singaporeans were retrenched first and foreigners stayed, whereas in the neighbouring country it was the other way round,' Mr Yeap said during a dialogue.

I always believed that being a true blue singaporean is a curse. Articles like this reaffirm my believe.

This is just another publicity ploy to gain the voters confidence, whn it quietn down, they will let in the foreigners, through a 'hole' in the system. These discrimatory practices had been going on since the 70's, after the withdrawal of the British, 1984 recession, 1991-1992, Gulf Wars, 1997 Asian Financial Crises, 2007..... It is SINgaporeans, who doesn't want to stamp their feet & guard their own rice bowls, they allowed themselves to be exploited , for decades, by voting the same useless highly paid people into parliament. They have themselves to be blamed. Now, these same useless highly paid people, are saying " we look after you", what an eye opening. The joke is on you, SINgaporeans, especially the 60%, had the 40% not rising up, this "I look after you", would have never seen the light!!

By 2016 >60% of the votes will go to oppos and by then a coalition gov will form and PAP under their incompetent leader LHL will become opposition unlesss a renweal of leadership take place and kick ass loong out. You cannot betray the voters after winning back the election back from Oppos and bull dozed and dispersed Hillview Est Ave voters, can you?

You are right to retrench 3 locals as charity begins from home, they being locals, are nearer to home.

Where Are The Men ? Girly 'Boys' Need Not Apply !

I find the whole thing about firing the local first is a very good strategy. This will convert and push more to embrace revolutionist idea. I always fear no one wanna pick up those guns. It's sooner or later. Fascism will not just go away with words alone.
