SINGAPORE - A total of 500 companies have been put on the Fair Consideration Framework watchlist over the past two years for unfairly favouring foreigners in their hiring, Manpower Minister Lim Swee Say said on Monday (March 5).

Such "triple weak" companies - who are not up to scratch in having and nurturing a strong Singaporean core, and do not have strong relevance to Singapore's economy and society - have their Employment Pass (EP) applications subject to closer scrutiny.

Since February 2016, 1,900 EP applications have been either rejected or withheld by the ministry, or withdrawn by the companies, said Mr Lim during the debate on his ministry's budget.

The companies on the watchlist come from various sectors and include placement agencies, he said.

"They have the pre-conceived idea that local PMETs (professionals, managers, executives and technicians) are either unable or unwilling to do the job, so they write them off without even considering them fairly," he said.

Mr Lim was responding to MPs such as Mr Patrick Tay (West Coast GRC), Ms Jessica Tan (East Coast GRC) and Mr Lim Biow Chuan (Mountbatten) who asked for an update on the watchlist.

He said more than 2,200 Singaporean PMETs were hired after agencies like the Tripartite Alliance for Fair and Progressive Employment Practices (Tafep) and the institutes of higher learning worked with the companies to help them to recruit fresh graduates and mid-career local PMETs.

So far, 150 companies have improved and left the watchlist.

For example, an information technology services firm with more than a thousand PMET employees was placed on the watchlist in February 2016. But after working with Tafep and the Infocomm Media Development Authority, it hired about 200 more Singaporeans and has since been removed from the list.

The company continues to adopt progressive human resource practices, which is a win-win outcome for both the business and its workers, said Mr Lim.

Hire Ah neh IT workers are heading foe troubles. Ah neh are bad coders more finding the coding problems created by ah nehs.

Knew someone, some years back in the IT line, who was out of work, aka JOBLESS!, for he was retrenched by his company ( though he was give a severance package). He KPKB!...that, 'they' employed an ah neh from India to understudy & then company later told him " it is time to go, after ah neh had learnt his job"...he got the chop!...but you cannot sympathise with these people, & cannot empathise, for you quietly ask that magic question " whom did you vote for?"..definitely not Worker's Party! They deserve to be sack, for they do not want to hold on to their rice bowl & even they have a rice bowl, they depend on the one they vote for, to 'drop tiny broken rice grains' for them to eat.

The govt should disclose all the companies who did not comply with hiring Singaporeans first. Singaporeans have the right to know which Shit Companies are still in our backyard milking our resources everyday.

It is a worldwide situation and dont know why many could get conned by Indians.

Ah neh paid a sum of US10k to get an IT job to syndicate Sytnam HR coy in India.

This Sytnam coy setup fake IT degree qualifications that cannot be traced for fake.

Then ah neh is thrown an IT manual book to self study for 3 months, full-time, in India.

A tutor is available by phone. Does not matter ah neh know his work times up he will be send oversea.

His work permit taken care off and attach to a company for 6 months under training an coy IT worker.

This is your Indian fake qualified IT workers that is going to screw up yr biz.

One has to take 4 years to study computer science in uni whereas ah neh only takes 3 months self study and 6 months under training to steal your jobs.

Many big US companies folded up and serve them right to closecdown. Kodak was one of them folded up after using ah neh IT workers.

I can read all these on the internet and pinky still 不知死 get Indians to steal IT jobs in Singapore.
