Now We Know Why LW Rushed To The GE ! Horrific Q1 Jobs And Unemployment Figures !
The PAP told us that GDP grew 4.4% in 2024. But 2 weeks ago, it was reported that GDP contracted 0.8% for Q1, even before the Trump tariffs came into place !
And today, MOM reported that jobs growth for Q1 was a measly 2300 Jobs ! Yes that is all the jobs the economy produced in Q1 !
Worse the unemployment rate for Singaporeans rose from 2.9% to 3.1%, much higher than the Resident’s unemployment which rose from 2.8% to 2.9%. This category covers the PRs.
And shockingly,for the 1st time in living memory, the overall unemployment rate, which would also cover the unemployment rate of foreign workers was not published ! This suggests to me that any increase in foreign workers’ unemployment, if at all, was much lower than the increase in unemployment for Singaporeans !
Do you now know why PAR will never compromise on priority for Singaporeans for jobs and why disastrous treaties such as CECA must be abolished, as PAR has always insisted ! We are the only party which taken such a hard-line stance against CECA !
On 3 May, vote for PAR’s candidates including myself in Potong Pasir SMC, so that we can fight to protect your jobs in Parliament, and so that you will not be displaced or replaced by the foreign worker !
