http://www.tremeritus.com/2015/04/01/foreign-pmet-number-up-77-over-last-5-years/ Number of foreign PMETs continues to increase Meanwhile, the number of foreign PMETs (EP and S Pass holders) continues to increase unabated. In the last 5 years since 2009, the number of foreign PMETs has risen 77% from 197,000 to 349,000 (as at end 2014). Even after the last general election in 2011 – when the governing PAP received the lowest percentage of valid votes in the history of Singapore – the number still increased by 21% from 289,300 to 349,000, over the last 3 years. Indeed, many foreign PMETs are grateful to the Singapore government for helping them to land a job in Singapore. At the funeral procession of Singapore’s first Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew last Sunday (29 Mar), Kirrily Hoare, 38, an Australian expatriate who has been working in Singapore for 18 months, patiently waited by the road for Mr Lee’s hearse to pass by. She told the media, “Nothing will deter us on this day. I am here to pay my last respects to a great man who made this possible and welcomed me to his country.” Sadly though, more local PMETs, especially the older ones, are finding it difficult to get suitable work in Singapore. Many end up underemployed – driving a taxi or working as a security guard. Even younger Singaporeans in the their early 30s are driving taxis, a phenomenon seldom seen in the past. Perhaps Singaporeans should thank LTA for not giving foreigners a licence to drive taxis

Foreign PMET number up 77% over last 5 years

Number of foreign PMETs continues to increase

Meanwhile, the number of foreign PMETs (EP and S Pass holders) continues to increase unabated. In the last 5 years since 2009, the number of foreign PMETs has risen 77% from 197,000 to 349,000 (as at end 2014).

765,000 good paying jobs given to foreigners!

 

[makapaaa]

No more 60 percent lah ...lots of them have been affected by the 765,000 foreigners taking away their jobs.

The PAP government is not going to clamp down on PMETs and top-tier S-pass holders. Period.

These group of people are the most highly-skilled and have the strongest purchasing power. The more of them working and living in Singapore, the stronger our economy. Why would any sane government hurt its own country by reducing the number of such a highly valued group?

This is why the PAP government tries to reduce population by clamping down on cheap construction workers, even as sinkie PMETs complain of too many foreigners.

Can give us your name, position in PAP, so that we can quote you on our flyers?

Total BS. 24-year old oil rig technician from Norway comes here as foreign talent. You tell me that there is NO sinkee in the industry that can do the job??????
The government is hurting sinkees by letting 675k foreigners to take good paying jobs from sinkees. That is betrayal.

Not many sinkies work as oil riggers at age 24. Most are in fact, still schooling.

675k foreigners get the job because they are suitably qualified. No sane employers can tolerate hiring so many useless mouths to feed. That's how private sector works.

You can quote me, John Tan, grassroots leader, people's association.

You really stupid, you know. Are there no sinkees with better qualifications and experience than this 24-year old norwegian oil rig TECHNICIAN?

So, you think that there are 675k useless sinkees? You bloody traitor.
Our employers are cheap ...that is the reason.

There are thousands of John Tan around ...be specific lah ...full name, complete title lah.

If there were, this norwegian guy would have been booted back to norway. "Cheaper, better and faster" is a double-edged sword. So far, mostly sinkies get sliced because they are often more expensive and inferior.

Employers are in charge of a department or business. They are not doing charity. Why should jobs go a person on account of his nationality? We would be insulting the memory of Mr. LKY if we do so. Ah Gong wanted us to be meritocratic society, and not like the shithole Malaysia, where the bulk of jobs and government contracts go to the Bumis on account of race and religion.

By saying this prove that you are the type that will disown your gf when you found she have cancer.

Most gfs dump their boyfriends when they are stuck in NS for two years. Most people marry each other for pragmatic reasons, such as good looks to financial security or strong potential for career growth.

To nearly all organizations, including charitable ones, you as an employee are only as valuable as your last victory. If you subsequently prove to a liability, they will boot you out. That's life. Why expect the government to behave otherwise?

What is your vocation in NS or did u even serve NS?

You are so bloody obtuse. This young, relatively inexperienced norwegian could come in as foreign talent only because of our liberal policy of admitting foreigners to steal our jobs. It is a known fact ...that's why Ah Nehs are here in droves. Even HK has better control of immigration than us.
I bet you that there are tons of sinkees who are better qualified than this young punk. But the company, an MNC, prefers to hire an angmo than local because the PAP government does not protect jobs for locals.

If these employers don't want to hire sinkees, than they should move out. Go to Pinoy land or Ah Neh land. If they want to be based here, than they hire sinkees.
Meritocracy my foot. Sinkees are entitled to jobs in their country; we are not entitled to jobs anywhere else.

talking about liability, the scums in whites are the greatest liabilities you can find on earth, measuring on a per unit liability cost. .

That's the pragmatism of Lee Cons U.

Please, I beg you, not to show more of your ignorance. Typical PAP thinking.

Yes you are right. Anybody who has worked with overseas HR, admin and finance will know that every country protects their own people rice bowls and do not give jobs to foreigners easily.

Only jobs that locals do not wish to do are given to foreigners or jobs that require the foreigners' experience or skills that locals do not have or not enough locals than will such jobs be given to foreigners.

 

[GOD IS MY DOG]

think on the bright side..............more votes for opposition from retrenched local people..........
