[h=1]S'pore not cheapest, but must remain competitive

Singapore must continue to uphold its reputation as a competitive and dynamic city worth investors paying a premium for, even if it is not necessarily the cheapest.

This was Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong's call yesterday at the May Day Rally, in which he said attracting quality investments and creating better jobs are key to growing the economy.

But as the country tightens up on foreign hires, Mr Lee said it has to be "very careful" to remain a competitive place for doing business. "If we make it difficult for companies to get the skills and talent they need, they will go elsewhere," he said.

Speaking at Downtown East, Mr Lee added that attracting quality investments comes alongside restructuring the domestic economy and investing in the future. This is because government transfers or protection "cannot be the fundamental basis on which we improve lives", he said.

Still, Mr Lee gave assurances that the Government is determined to tackle problems and improve workers' lives.

This includes dealing with population issues, such as immigration and foreign workers, and strengthening safety nets, especially for housing, health care and education.

He said the Government will also look into the concerns of professionals, managers and executives, as well as low-wage workers and older workers who want to work beyond the age of 65.

While Mr Lee acknowledged that Singapore's situation was "not perfect", he said "we have many strengths that others lack, whether it's a well-educated workforce, a high international reputation or adequate reserves".

PM Lee stresses importance of tripartism in S'pore

SINGAPORE: Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has stressed the importance of tripartism in the country.

Speaking for the first time on the illegal strike by the bus drivers from China last year, Mr Lee said the government "will not tolerate illegal action or any party undermining industrial harmony".

Mr Lee said Singapore cannot have a strong economy without a strong labour movement.

He noted while the fundamental role of unions is to protect workers, workers' demands should be reasonable.

If disputes do arise, he said both sides should strive for an equitable outcome.

Mr Lee said the strike was a timely reminder of the importance of tripartism and he called on all parties to strengthen mutual trust.

He said: "Doesn't matter how things happen overseas, you may have strikes, you may have riots, you may have demonstrations when you have unhappiness. In Singapore, if there's a problem, let us find out early. Let's talk about it, let's nip it in the bud, resolve it harmoniously and if necessary through arbitration. Let's do it in a mature, adult way, which is constructive and helps us to move forward together."

It used to be CBF = Cheaper, Better, Faster
Now he has moved on to ESS = Easier, Smarter, Safer

Tripartism? Tripartite jiki LAN.

 

[OldFart]

There is nothing to yawn about. This is serious. What can be done to change these people to get better qualified people to serve us? People who have ideas. People who can give us hope.
