The Mainstream Media (MSM) tried to promote this ESM FT declaration. It featured reports on the viewpoints of employing organizations. It also emphasized the immigration origin of all Singaporeans & indirectly described the ESM FT policy critics as xenophobes.
The policy critics were not against immigration. They were only questioning the numbers & the selection criteria. The MSM method exposed the weakness of the FT policy. Almost all the featured employers wrote & talked about problems of hiring FWs, not FTs.
The few instances of needing FTs were mainly restricted to CEOs & scientists. As a result, the MSM started to lose credibility among readers.
