Tan See Leng : I don't think we should be drawing lines between Singapore citizens and permanent residents

[UltimaOnline]

"More fundamentally, as a society, I don't think we should be drawing lines between Singapore citizens and permanent residents.

"They contribute to our strengths as a society and our economy. Singapore is an immigrant nation and openness is one of our society's core strengths that has defined who we are."

Meanwhile, local PMET unemployment also generally remains at 3 per cent or lower outside crises, he said. The long-term unemployment rate is even lower, at below 1 per cent.

"The increase in foreign PMETs has not caused our unemployment rate to rise," Dr Tan said.

The number of PMET job vacancies has also been on an upward trend since 2010, and has been hovering around 30,000 over the past five years.

These job openings are spread across various sectors, with 4,300 unfilled PMET jobs in infocomm, 4,100 in finance, and 2,700 in professional services, for instance.

"If every additional foreigner results in one less opportunity for locals, why are there still so many unfilled vacancies? Surely these vacancies should have long been filled," Dr Tan pointed out.

Talking cock... why then the different colours on the identity cards?

Anyway, you PAP twits have given citizenship and PR to so many foreigners in such little time, the lines have already been blurred long ago. Maybe that was part of your grand plan.

Many sinkies were once PRs, including ministers like Khaw and Janil Pondicherry. Citizens and PRs should just be lumped together as 'locals'.

Maybe in his records these Grab drivers are still considered hired as PMET. Because they use income tax data to determine. It will take one year to update the status.

There have been so many lines drawn between PRs and Citizens in Singapore since the beginning lah.

As a Dr and a previous business guy in the primary care space he should know this particular line.

Polyclinic fees.

You don't see this line for healthcare fees in Canada. PR and citizen all same. Universal healthcare.
