So sad, WD Singapore used to employ thousands and their products a big rival to Seagate. There goes another core manufacturing base.... hundreds, inclusive of employees and employees of suppliers down the supply chain are going to lose their jobs....:(

When the Singapore manufacturing is hollowed out, where then are the jobs coming from but driving taxis, cleaning jambans, jaga doors, peddle insurance products,....roaming the streets, picking up aluminium cans or paper boxes....:(:( Singaporeans are in for a hard time....whose fault???

Singaporeans are in for a hard time....whose fault???

Singaporeans' fault of course. They demand outlandish salaries but their low productivity does not match the pay that they expect.

WD should have gone a decade ago but for the fact that PAP kept them here by offering cheap foreign labour.

Retrenched sinkies can also promote credit cards or sell charity to passers-by, these are the hot jobs nowadays.

Are you also talking about the ministers and their army of perm secs; top civil servants and heads of statutory boards?

Should blame those who are still making millions. In the new reality the elites should shoulder most of the blame & not live on past laurels.

If sinkees are fearful for their jobs, they should channel their anxieties and insecurities towards the PAP.
