And even then, they are still paying lip service to the blatant discrimination against SGs by both the GeeAlSees and private businesses. Till a law is enacted that jobs must be given to SGs first, all else is empty talk and meant for the dafties. What are SGs defending??? When are SGs gonna bring the FAP Traitors to justice for selling out an entire nation to Foreigners?

My Paper
Wednesday, Mar 06, 2013
<!-- CONTENT NEWS: start -->THE Government will look into strengthening a fair-employment organisation to investigate errant hiring processes, said Acting Manpower Minister Tan Chuan-Jin yesterday.
This is part of efforts to keep Singaporeans at the centre of the country's workforce.
He was replying to a question on how Singaporeans could get priority in jobs when there is an economic downturn or when companies downsize.
Mr Tan said the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) is looking into strengthening the Tripartite Alliance for Fair Employment Practices (Tafep) in the years to come, to ensure companies have fair recruitment practices.
"Tafep will be investigating (firms) more thoroughly, in terms of discrimination practices. And in cases where companies are not responding, Tafep will refer (them) to MOM, and we will take necessary steps to investigate and take actions to restrict privileges accorded to companies," he said.
Mr Tan added that MOM invests heavily in training and skills upgrading for Singaporeans, and continually calibrates foreign- worker policies "to ensure foreign workers complement, not substitute, Singaporean workers".
During the Budget debate, labour MP Patrick Tay reiterated his suggestion of putting a dependency ratio on the number of foreign professionals, managers and executives (PMEs) that firms can hire, especially in sectors where there are "excessive numbers" of foreign PMEs.
Mr Tay was heartened that the Government will look into a framework that gives fair consideration to Singaporeans when it comes to hiring practices. He said this is in line with labour-market testing principles already in place in some countries, such as Britain.
