Open Letter
Re: Employing Foreigners like Amy Cheong at NTUC instead of equally qualified Singaporeans
Dear Sir,
The recent Amy Cheong saga has brought up many unanswered questions into the open.
With my deepest respect Sir, I look forward to NTUC’s swift reply on this matter.
Firstly, why did NTUC, Singapore’s largest Trade Union, hire a Foreigner like Amy Cheong to fill it’s Asst Director position, when there are thousands of jobless highly qualified PME (Professionals, Managers, Executives) Singaporeans available who can easily do the job?
Is NTUC saying that they can’t find Singaporeans for these kind of high paying jobs?
Is NTUC saying that these are jobs that Singaporeans shun, such that they had no choice but to hire a Foreigner from Australia? Isn’t NTUC supposed to look after the welfare of Singaporeans first?
What is so specialised about Amy Cheong’s Asst Director role ‘in-charge of Memberships’? If it was, for example, a special niche role like a corporate lawyer or research scientist etc, where very special training/background is required, then that would be a different matter, but this is clearly not the case for this role in question.
I find this even more shocking and ironic, as NTUC even has a job-placement/training arm called the E2i (Employment & Employeability Institute), set up specially to help unemployed Singaporeans and especially PME’s to look for jobs. Yet for this Asst Director role within NTUC itself, NTUC goes and hires a Foreigner, a Malaysian born Australian Citizen. As myself, a jobless PME Singaporean with many years working experience and still looking for a job (I was retrenched recently), I find the logic here twisted and alarming.
The fact is that NTUC’s E2i Center and the even the many CDC’s have thousands of highly qualified unemployed Singaporeans, some even with MBA’s and Masters degrees, on their database list looking for jobs.
Are any of these people from E2i and CDC’s even referred for jobs at NTUC or government agencies?
Are Singaporeans given priority for jobs at NTUC? How many Foreigners are currently being employed at NTUC? Why is there a need to employ Foreigners at NTUC in the first place?
Thank you.
.
Yours Sincerely,
A Very Concerned Singaporean and NSman

[I_Hate_Pappies]

It is also a tough decision for him to make, you know? :p

 

[batman1]

How is Zorro Lim going to reply to a tough letter demanding answers ? It will have a tremendous adverse impact on him.Hope he won't end up in Bedok reservoir.

 

[mojito]

Sweet Say will reply: We regret to inform you that you were not shortlisted for the position. Thank you for your interest in NTUC.

 

[yaosiu]

Din noe Malaisian al con as FT??

 

[KINGFALCON]

Don't think he'll ever reply. Busy counting CPF.

 

[Leongsam]

Don't think he'll ever reply. Busy counting CPF.

Nah he spends most of his free time tuning his vocal chords. He's taking part in the next idol series.

1. Singaporean males are too busy with ICT and keeping fit to pass IPPT
2. Singaporean females are supposed to be housewives to produce and take care of babies who will grow up to serve NS. NS is very important to keep the country safe for foreigners, you know?

 

[watchman8]

Don't think he'll ever reply. Busy counting CPF.

Rubbish. The annual interest earned on his salary is larger than his meagre annual CPF contributions. So he must be busy counting the interest earned on his salary instead.

 

[enterprise2]

He will NTUC does not favor locals (another way to say we do not discriminate) and we hire base on ability and best fit...blah blah. Yeah they hired a crazy racist bitch to handle their membership....great choice!

Spot ON!!!
My fren who got retrenched many many years ago,despite with string of qualifications n experience got a job introduced by e21 ............. employer offered $2000 monthly - way below what they are paying their entry-level employees. My fren beats them hands down but will not be paid more than the freshies in that firm ... HCS. I think the employers see themselves as sharks gettting super value for money without paying fair wages! This firm is well-connected to NTUC with its boss a former politician.
If the mentality of such pple are like that, where got anymore hope for jobless PMEs?

PS: Mr Ang is no more in e2i... Gilbert Tan, a high flyer took over the job

 

[blur sotong]

It is also a tough decision for him to make, you know? :p

Bro IHP, no tough decision ... just some usual wayang will do. Singaporeans very naive & malleable.

 

[Brightkid]

Sacking Amy Cheong is one of toughest decision that Zorro made in his tenure as Labour minister he said. Can you imagine what he been doing all these while ?

I have highly qualified friends who were retrenched years ago and approached e2i and the other job placements office by them. These are experienced middle managers who managed complex projects on regional basis. They were offered construction worker's job and security jobs by these agencies!!!!!!!!!

Of course, they need to survive after few years of searching their next job (even much lower level ones) and ended up as insurance/property agents. Needless to say, MOM very happily and patting their own backs and classified them as 'working' people and hence the very low un-employment rates in the nation!!!

I wonder why bother with so many universities here. To produce the next high-level of jobless PMET ?

 

[cass888]

At least he has dropped the fucking "T" from "PMET". But calling yourself a "PME" still shows you're a fucking loser. Will a banker, lawyer, doctor, accountant, dentist, CxO call themselves a PME?

As myself, a jobless PME Singaporean with many years working experience and still looking for a job (I was retrenched recently), I find the logic here twisted and alarming.

 

[HellBoy]

It's the tougher-est decision he ever make.

It is also a tough decision for him to make, you know? :p

oral skill is very important, do you take in?

Pray tell, what does "P" stand for?

Clearly all these years of non-work has ossified your mental faculties.
