TAFEP following up with Nas Daily on Facebook post recruiting ‘Vietnamese’ for team in Singapore
SINGAPORE: The Tripartite Alliance for Fair and Progressive Employment Practices (TAFEP) said on Friday (Aug 16) that it is "following up" on a Facebook post by vlogger Nuseir Yassin, better known as Nas Daily, that was recruiting foreigners for a job position based in Singapore.
The post dated Aug 12 wrote that Mr Yassin, who found fame after documenting his travels in daily one-minute videos posted on Facebook, was looking to “hire a Vietnamese person” for his team in Singapore.
“I'm looking for the best video maker in Vietnam to join me in a full-time position. You have to know how to make videos. You have to be the best at shooting or editing,” read the post made on a two-month-old Facebook page called Nas Daily Vietnamese with nearly 70,000 followers.
Apart from providing an email address, the post also dangled a US$500 reward for those who share the post with a person who eventually snags the job.
The Facebook post has since garnered more than 6,100 likes and shared more than 800 times as of Aug 16.
In response to queries from CNA, TAFEP, the national watchdog overseeing complaints of discrimination in hiring and at work, said it was “following up on this”.
“Regardless of the medium in which the job advertisement is posted, TAFEP expects all employers to abide by the Tripartite Guidelines on Fair Employment Practices (TGFEP), which applies to all Singapore-based jobs,” said the spokesperson.
Under the TGFEP, words and phrases that exclude Singaporeans or indicate a preference for non-Singaporeans “should not be used”, according to TAFEP’s emailed response.
And as part of the Fair Consideration Framework (FCF), employers would not be able to submit applications for Employment Passes without advertising the positions on the Workforce Singapore’s Jobs Bank for 14 calendar days and giving fair consideration to local job applicants, the response added.
The FCF details fair hiring requirements for all companies in Singapore. Only selected jobs, such as those in firms with fewer than 10 employees or pay a fixed monthly salary of S$15,000 and above, are exempted from the Jobs Bank advertising requirements.
TAFEP said it takes a “serious view” of all forms of discriminatory employment practices that are not in line with the guidelines, and that it works closely with the Manpower Minister to take “appropriate action” against employers who breach TGFEP and FCF requirements.
“We strongly encourage employers to refer to TAFEP’s website for a list of words and phrases to avoid in job advertisements,” said the spokesperson.
“Individuals who wish to report discriminatory job advertisements may also do so on TAFEP’s website.”
CNA has reached out to Mr Yassin regarding the Facebook post and for more details about the job role, as well as responses to TAFEP’s statement.
Mr Yassin, an Israeli-Palestinian, moved to Singapore in April to set up his new company, the Nas Daily Media Company. During a meet-and-greet at the Botanic Gardens that month, he told a 2,000-strong crowd that he has hired two Singaporeans.
While popular with more than 13 million followers on his official Facebook page Nas Daily, the Internet sensation has his fair share of critics.
Since making several videos about Singapore, including one featuring Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, he has had to fend off accusations that these positive videos were sponsored by the Government.
The meet-and-greet in April also stirred up some controversy, which prompted the Singapore Police Force (SPF) to clarify that the event did not require a permit under the Public Order Act (POA). The SPF added that “allegations which suggest that the police have been biased and shown favouritism are untrue and baseless”.
The latest job advertisement on Facebook post has since attracted some criticism, with one netizen commenting: “Why can't you just hire someone from Singapore? Are they unqualified?”

Most ppl know that only the daft stinkies are stuck in Stinkiepore under Ah Loong's useless clueless admin. 
Thats 2.5m stinkies for you.
The rest are just aliens parachuted in by Ah Loong from the third world without any quality control or checks and a smattering of ang moh kias.

He gives his justification in his pissed-off response here, which to be fair, is really a miscommunication problem :

So, realizes that Sinkies cannot be employed under the current laws, because:
a) they have two/three weeks of reservist training in addition to their annual leave, paternity leave, parental leave
b) foreigners cannot easily resign from their jobs because of the work permit system
c) no need for "balanced lifestyle" by foreigners
d) salaries so soooooooooooo much lower

Oppies should be ashamed of their racist tirade against the good Palestinian foreign talent PR.
Dear Singapore,
I am lucky I can reach you through my channel. Otherwise, it would be impossible to set the record straight.
Warning: Long Post.
Last week, I put up a post to hire a Vietnamese teammate on my Vietnamese page. Nas Daily is growing fast - especially at Nas Daily Tiếng Việt.
That’s why I want the best video maker to join me and be responsible for Vietnam, as they understand the culture. I want to train them in Singapore for a few months then base them in Vietnam.
A small number of Singaporeans got pissed - and the media loved it. “Why not hire Singaporeans?!” “Why Vietnam?!" Media wrote about it left and right as if it’s a big deal. When in reality, it is not.
This should concern every Singaporean. Drama gets views - controversy gets people talking. I get it.
It’s time for media to stop catering to the 3% of loud voices and creating fake drama. And it’s time to stand up for myself.
In 4 months, Nas Daily has brought in $1m to the Singaporean economy. With $2m more coming in soon from our international clients.
In 1 year, Nas Daily reached 200 million people with positive videos about Singapore. That’s more than some Hollywood films.
We hired 5 Singaporeans - some of them great video makers. We are building our HQ here. We’re ALWAYS HIRING LOCALS!
And we're starting a "Nas University" in Singapore to teach locals video making. It’s gonna be the first school of its kind to teach storytelling and content creation.
But for some reason, hiring a Vietnamese person for the Vietnam market is news worthy? Come on.
This is a passing controversy. Instead of dividing, I want it to unite. So I’ll close it with words from Lee Kuan Yew himself:
"I am a firm believer that the more talents you have in a society, the better the society will grow.”
Singapore is where it is today because foreign and local talent came together to build a world-class country.
When I saw National Day on TV (and no one knows this), I shed a small tear. I feel so lucky to be in a country that is welcoming of talent.
Let us together make Singapore better.
