RWS has said that 70% of its staff are locals. As a Singaporean, I would like to know specifically how many of these locals employed are Singaporeans? I recalled either you or your PAP colleagues have said in parliament th...at one of the main reasons for having IRs is to create jobs for Singaporeans. I further recalled a figure of 35,000 was mentioned. Could you care to comment, since you are one of the main proponents for having the IRs here?

Creamer Adam: Yes, I would also like to know.

Leaky Lee: Dear Mr Yeo. It is a valid question raised by kojak Bt. Like many Singaporeans, I would also like to know how many of the 8,000 Singapore residents claimed by RWS to be employed by them are actually Singapore citizens ?? What is the actual numbers / ratio here between PRs and Singapore citizens ?? Will appreciate it if you can verify this issue with RWS or Minister Gan of MOM.. Thank You.

Simon Tan: If a lawyer can talk in parliament without doing any analysis beforehand, why would RWS need to do any justifications to its figures?

George Yeo: If I recall correctly, direct employment by the two IRs will be about 10,000. Economists like Tan Khee Giap believe that the actual increase in employment will be in the tens of thousands. There is little doubt that the two IRs will give a big boost to our economy. When I visited RWS, I was told that the nurseries in Singapore could hardly supply... See More all the plants and flowers they needed. I don't have the actual numbers but the majority of those I met at RWS were Singaporeans. My worry is not the economic impact which is very positive, but the social impact. Some families will be hurt by gambling and this is a problem we have to address.

ah giap ...

where r u? ... wat say u? ...

what a sad waste of the tax payer's money to the ministers.... they can't even have their answers anticipated...

since they have a team of research expert and economist, don't they bother to read, discuss, confirm, the facts? And at the same time find out what is going on in Singapore?

1. Dont forget he served NS ok, smoke everywhere you go.

2. He needs to do fishing every sunday, where got time giving real answer

when i was working i hate people like this. if you don't know just admit it and make an effort to go and find out. fucking hate idiots like him lead everyone merry go round and in the end with no answer.

is this what our education has come to produce? scholars that are good at playing merry go round but no solution.

would not be surprise suddenly he goes oversea again to siam

Pretend, pretend....want to switch focus and change topic leh.

Stick to the point lah. How many of them are Singaporeans ?

 

[popdod]

so caring minister......focus on social issues
rather than
bread & butter.


:p

 

[myfoot123]

In private sector, the boss will ask either you know or you don't. They will not accept craps from George Yeo reply because he is simply going around the bush when in fact he didn't know the answer with regard to how many Singaporeans were employed by the 2 IRs. Than to mitigate his guilt of not knowing the answer, he acted as if he was caring about social issue. A great Tai Chi which we will be seeing it happen again in the coming election. PAP has special training unit under their arm, and with the help of Shit Times, they know when to shield and when to attack their opponents. Intelligent debate is not their cup of tea, protecting their overpaid iron rice bowl is.

Poor George! According to the more illustrious forum members here, Georgie Boy is the nice guy among the PAP scum. Here's to you George!:oIo:

Apart from the private sector with these type of morons; You'll be amazed at the growing number of these idiots that exist in the civil servivce that gives everyone the song & dance when cornered. The joke is that they still get good salaries and promotion prospects by playing passing parcel.

Ironic isn't it ?

 

[myfoot123]

He already admitted that he wanted to be bystander and requested the molested victim to see her own MP and don't bother him at all. Will Aljunied GRC be contested by alternative parties in the coming election?.

 

[SIFU]

taichi master yeo...

people ask him about sporean workers in RWS, he talked about plants in RWS..

 

[mscitw]

That is exactly what is on French Kitchen Help Tan's mind when he parted 45k to be a servant.

 

[longbow]

Actually this is a valid question.

Much have been made about difference between PR and Citizenship. We have been told citizenship has its privileges. MM has said that difference will widen in the future.

So since there is a difference, shouldn't we seperate citizenship from PR in demographic info. I now am curious, how many Singaporeans did RWS hire??

This is not rocket science and would not need 10 man years to find. Suspect HR at RWS has that figure on file.

So how many citizen, how many PR and how many foreigners. If our Gov does not have that figure, make RWS give us that figure. After all RWS has one of the two gambling licenses so if we ask Genting CEO to jump .........................

I for one like GY. Politics probably does not allow him to be direct ( understand fully). So if forced to read between the lines RWS probably 30% Singaporeans and 70% others. What do you guys think?

 

[Watchman]

In the end, he have no answer to the question...

In the end worst , he forgotten the question .

As he is going for $500 a head dinner .

 

[red amoeba]

err..maybe i read wrongly, he did not answer the question and talk about plants? Who the fuck care how many plants RWS need....

PAP government always like to talk about figures - how much this measure will cost the government, how much U-save payout this year blah blah...why suddenly when asked to give precise numbers, he cannot?
