Third, we must create opportunities at all levels for all Singaporeans. We need quality growth and exciting jobs to meet the aspiration of a workforce that is more qualified, ambitious and entrepreneurial.
To be inclusive, we must also re-develop low-end jobs and low-productivity sectors. The Government has done much in topping up the salary and CPF savings of low-wage workers, offering generous training grants, allowances and incentives. It will continue to do more, spend more and invest more. But we can only truly succeed in this endeavour, if employers, unions, businesses and members of the public all come together to do our part for the low-wage workers.
Businesses should adopt best-sourcing, not cheap-sourcing. Employers should upgrade skills and jobs, not just rely on more foreign workers. Unions should mobilise workers to work smart, not just work hard
