WP is not exactly asking to jam-brake. It is just asking to slow down the immigration intake. But that's not the issue here. The issue is the alarm bells sounded by Iswaran that business closures would be sped up if we slow down immigration intake.
Doesn't Iswaran's statement expose what we've always suspected? That is, the govt has been too dependent on foreign labour? Not that these jobs cannot be filled by locals. You see them almost everywhere. From waiters and waitresses, admin clerks, customer services execs, tele-marketeers. You mean Singaporeans don't want these jobs?
PAP is the one who has been speeding. It has been speeding so much that any Tom Dick and Harry is able to land in Singapore, get a work permit and presto, be working in no time. Immigration policy should always be taking in the people with the skills we want and/or need. Not just anybody who resembles a human being.
But PAP doesn't care. It simply takes in anyone till our infrastructure is bursting at the seams. Not to mention these immigrants are competing with Singaporeans for jobs that can be done by locals.
It is PAP who has been speeding in an already congested car park in the first place. If you don't speed, jamming the brake would be as good as an emergency stop. The fact that it spins shows you have been speeding in that over congested car park.
Wake up, Iswaran.
