real facts: company's profitability down and couldn't sustain business further. it's either retrench, downsizing or fold up the business.
paps' talk cock, sing song: shorter work days, re-training, improve family ties.
....and business shall improve?
the truth: paps are clueless. it's embarrassing with their million dollars pays, they are just as clueless as other lesser paid leaders of bigger cuntries.
in times like this, why don't they do something daring like reducing GST? what about reducing public transport fares, hawker stall rentals, medical fees. etc? they dare increase it when do they dare not reversing it? surely, it would help everyone one.
maybe it's time they stop promoting at NOT having budget deficient and bragging EXCESS reserve when most of it are not returned to peasants reasonably in bad times.
it's time the paps should be maybe honestly telling us: THE RESERVES HAVE BEEN BURNT AWAY IN BAD INVESTMENT.
do they dare to? honestly, do they even dare to have a pay cut that does them proud and make peasants even more respectful about their mindful action? doubt they would. they are only quick to claim credits when economy is good but so is everywhere in the world when the time arrives. what make them unique to their exorbitant pays then?.....

[COLOR="_______"]Retrenchment occurs when government PAP taxed their people so much that they never give back to society!
With the middle-class spending power gone ! So is the economy gone down the gutter![/COLOR]

when they increase gst during good times, shouldn't they be adjust it downwards during bad one....like maybe now is the time?
look like paps only dwell proudly in good times claiming their own credibility. in bad times, the amount they do to alleviate hoplessness and anxieties in peasants surely is lacking.
in good times, 100 in ward get financial aids. in bad, obviously, the number would be increased. if still the same 100 are entitled to the aids, obviously those who were even hit harder and not be able to receive would be grossly pissed.
flaming of seng han thong could be the start of occupational hazards many complacent mps might be facing. anxiety, hopelessness. depression and desperation seriously drive the aggireved peasants to even more dramatic and extreme action inevidently.
wonder whether they have taken the hint from this unfortunate 'flame the mp' incident or are they waiting for more violent ones to come?:p

An anecdote about a Singaporean coffeeshop woman worried that "a sweet, young beer girl from China" was undercutting her wages has triggered a feisty exchange of barbs between the Workers' Party (WP) and the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) assistant secretary-general Seng Han Thong.
The tale of the beer girl had been related recently by Mr Lim Boon Heng, the Minister in the Prime Minister's Office. He had said that such beer ladies from China helped to draw more business to the coffeeshop, in turn helping the Singaporean keep her job.
In its May Day message, the Opposition party said that this anecdote was an admission that the People's Action Party (PAP) had created an economic model in which Singaporeans had to be dependent on foreign workers to retain their jobs.
Yesterday, Mr Seng, who is also the PAP MP for Yio Chu Kang, challenged the WP to set an example on the issue of foreign workers.
"According to their statement, I propose that they start with their Hougang Town Council by ensuring that all their workers and employees are Singaporeans only. That's the best way to start," said Mr Seng, speaking to reporters after NTUC's May Day Rally.

LABOUR DAY RELEASE – RESPONSE TO MR SENG HAN THONG
We refer to Mr Seng Han Thong’s reported response to WP’s Labour Day press release.
It seems that Mr Seng, a labour MP, has conveniently forgotten to address WP’s questions about his ex-boss Minister Lim Boon Heng's insensitive comments.
Instead, he side-steps them by querying whether all employees of Hougang Town Council (HGTC) are Singaporeans.
For the record, the staff of HGTC are all Singaporeans. However WP recognizes the contribution of foreign workers and is not against their employment.
For instance, HGTC does not object to its contractors deploying foreign workers in the estate.
The WP Labour day message raised three issues pertaining to workers in Singapore in view of the changing economic circumstances, the government policy on foreign manpower and the government's attitude towards the employment of foreigners.
WP said, first, the government's attitude should be to put Singaporeans first; secondly, we should resist any erosion of Singaporeans' societal standing; and thirdly, it is the government’s responsibility to show compassion for the plight of the workers facing the pressure of high inflation.
Therefore, the issue here is not of foreign workers’ employment per se but rather how the Singapore Government and the Labour Union will ensure that the dignity and societal position of Singaporeans workers are not compromised in view of globalization and labour mobility.

That's vulgar words to them. If they were to decrease GST(or any other costs) how are they going to draw their million $$$ salaries? These greedy leeches will only increase costs. The only things that go up and do not come down are costs in Sinkeeland.
They claim credit for any good things and anything bad, they blame the world situation, blame Sinkees for being more complacent etc.
u want the real facts or do u want the paps' sing song, talk cock reasoning?
old faggot fake monk PAP dog Bob Sim Kheng Hwee, temple thief, swindler, fraudster, cheat, con-artist, liar, deceiver, all rolled into one!
of course your PAP prostitute masters like you are all big time liars!!!
why you talk retrenchment when you steal temple money and live on handouts from your siblings and retired parents?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Layoffs to rise
By Aaron Low
Madam Halimah Yacob was speaking to reporters after visiting 47 retrenched electronics workers who have enrolled in a training course at the Employment and Employability Insitute. -- ST FILE PHOTO
RETRENCHMENTS in the beleaguered electronics industry is expected to soar, with layoffs in the first three months of this year to equal that for the whole of last year.
The labour movement foresees about 2,000 workers losing their jobs by March. This is comparable to the 2,374 jobs lost last year.
The bleak figures were given by National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) deputy secretary general Halimah Yacob on Monday morning.
Madam Halimah was speaking to reporters after her visit to 44 retrenched STMicroelectronics workers attending a training course at NTUC's Employment and Employability Institute (e2i).
Of the tougher times ahead, she said several manufacturing companies has seen demand for their products drop by as much as 70 per cent.
She also urged companies which cannot hold onto their staff to work with the unions so that workers could be eased out of their jobs as humanely as possible.
'Handling restructuring and redundancies responsibly also benefits companies as it has to manage the morale of employees who remain behind,' said Madam Halimah.
'Also, these workers have given three-quarters of their lives to the companies and I am sure the companies want to be able to do the right thing.'
Analysts have said that this year may see layoffs surpass the 30,000 jobs lost in 1998 during the Asian financial crisis.
In the case of STMicroelectronics, 215 workers were laid off in December, partly as a result of a restructuring in the company that begun two years ago and affected 1,300 workers.
The United Workers of Electronic and Electrical Industries (UWEEI) union helped the company redeploy 500 workers but could not prevent the retrenchments.
like i mentioned, the pond is depleted of fish so no matter how skilful the fisherman is, there won't be any fish to be caught. time for paps gabramen to distribute fish instead?

Swissport to cease operations
By Karamjit Kaur, Aviation Correspondent
LOSS-MAKING Swissport Singapore has pulled the plug on its operations at Changi Airport.
In a statement on Monday, the Swiss-based ground-handling company, which offers passenger check-in, as well as baggage and cargo services, said it will cease business at the end of March.
Since it started operating here in 2005, Swissport has chalked up losses of more than $50 million.
In its statement, the company said: 'In view of the present state of the airline sector, and the fact that Swissport's local operation is not of sufficient size to ensure its sound profitability, Swissport has reluctantly decided to cease all its ground handling activities in Singapore with effect from March 31.
'Swissport deeply regrets this development, and will be doing its utmost over the next few weeks to ensure the smoothest of transitions for its customer airlines and fair severance arrangements for its own personnel.'
The company employs about 300 people.
In a separate statement, the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore said it would will 'work with Swissport and NTUC to find placement options for their staff, and we will facilitate these discussions.'
Swissport's entry was to create more competition in the market and enhance Changi's competitiveness as an air hub
Since it came, ground-handling rates have fallen by about 15 per cent.

this is very strange. the mps already possess a very well-paid full time job i believe. being mp to a ward is like part-timing to them.
something is not very right here. it seem that if calculated appropriately, it seems that their part-time mp pay is very much higher than full time one. now the question is: are they there for that pay or there to service the ward?
