I was at Parkway Parade this morning and saw that Giant has changed Opening hour from 9am to 10am because of tight labour. This is good for productivity. Supermarkets were able to open 24hrs and open at 8am because they had an abundance of cheap labour. Singapore should wean businesses of cheap labour so that we don't need too many cheap labour to work in Singapore.
Besides supermarkets, other industries which can improve productivity are:
1. Construction companies
2. Petrol stations
3. Factories
etc
They can reduce cheap labour by restructuring work processes, reorganise work flows.
Even with reduced foreign manpower, SG can still achieve more than what it is doing now.
Does the PAP have the courage to stand up to businesses, MNCs, SG International Chamber of Commerce, etc and compel them to reduce manpower needs?
