Nah, I don't think so. In Singapore, all companies who did not fairly considered Singaporeans will be called up for investigations and can have their work pass privileges curtailed.
The Fair Consideration Framework (FCF) is part of the Government’s overall effort to strengthen the Singaporean core in the workforce. It sets out clear expectations for companies to consider Singaporeans fairly for job opportunities.
The FCF applies to all companies in Singapore. All companies must comply with the Tripartite Guidelines on Fair Employment Practices and have fair employment practices that are open, merit-based and non-discriminatory.
Requirement for Jobs Bank advertising
Before companies are allow to submit Employment Pass (EP) applications, you must advertise the job vacancies on the Jobs Bank administered by the Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA).
This includes applications for EP holders who are changing employers.
The advertisement must meet the following requirements:
Be open to Singaporeans.
Comply with the Tripartite Guidelines on Fair Employment Practices.
Run for at least 14 calendar days before you apply for the EP.
