[h=2]PM Lee: FT policy to continue but with ‘better management’[/h]

Speaking to local media today (12 Dec) at the end of his visit to South Korea, PM Lee said Singaporeans have taken the riot at Little India peacefully and calmly.

However, he said that the authorities must make clear that rioting is unacceptable and the incident has to be dealt with firmly. Those who have been charged will experience the due process of law.
He noted that the anxiety and alarm among Singaporeans is understandable but cautioned that if people expressed themselves in unreserved or xenophobic terms, even on the internet, that would be unhelpful.
When asked if the riot would affect Singapore’s foreign worker policy, Mr Lee stressed that the country needs foreign workers. He said if the country did not have them, the nation’s housing or public transport plans would not be achieved and Singaporeans would be severely affected.

What is needed is how to better manage these migrant workers, he said.

Mr Lee pointed out that even though there are nearly one million foreign workers in Singapore, only about 400 were involved in the riot. He stressed that this was a specific circumstance, a localised riot.
He said that it would be unfair for Singaporeans to pinpoint other foreign workers who were not involved in the riot and say that they are a problem. They are making a contribution to Singapore’s economy. The government cannot accept that, and that is not wise, he added.

Mr Lee noted that there are a lot of people following the news internationally and two Korean investors have even asked him about it. He said as this is significant news, the government must be very proper in its response, and Singaporeans too have to be very measured and responsible in their reactions as a people.

Meanwhile, the government is not taking any chances and will be installing 26 CCTVs in Little India. The police actually started installing them on Tuesday (10 Dec).
The police also announced it will be stepping up its presence at Geylang, Golden Mile and Little India.

The bus operators which ferry workers to and from Little India are also jittery. They said that more should be done to improve safety at the pick-up points in Little India.
The riot on Sunday (8 Dec) was sparked when an Indian foreign worker was knocked down and killed by a private bus at a pick-up point.

Someone shld ask him if his govt has 'better manage' them. If he thinks he cant, then he shld reduce the numbers to a figure that he can. Otherwise he shld close the doors, or resign.

Lol. I like the title of the thread.

If Pinky and his team of cronies can really walk the talk to "better manage" his stupid FT policy, there won't be overcrowded in trains and so much MRT breakdowns.
Even until today he is still trying to do damage control for all his stupid FT policy mistakes.

You think he gives a damn if there are overcrowding in trains and breakdown? I doubt Bugger had ever taken public transport on his own even once.

He has been "driven around" all his entire life day in day out. He doesn't know what is traffic jam and don't even know "Mee Siam got no hum".

He doesn't know shit and also have no intention of finding out the shit we peasants faced on a daily basis.

 

[Stronger]

With the influx of these foreign worker, better risk management should have been in place way long ago. Little India was already rowdy and messy even long before this riot happened.

 

[blackmondy]

Better management as in making them look good when shit happens.

So Pink Pantie is admitting they were not prepared and did not manage well in their foreign workers policy.
Should the COI include their performance or lack of performance?

The Americans are asking us, the Koreans are asking us, maybe the Eskimos will ask us soon. They are not asking, they are looking for leverage.
How I miss the Old LKY who had the cojones to TELL the foreigners stuff.
