[h=2]The Govt should set example by employing S’poreans first[/h]

Australians Amy Cheong and Stephen Forshaw employed by
NTUC and SMRT respectively.
Would the Govt heed the angry voices of the PMETs who have been displaced by
foreigners in their own beloved country? Many are losing good jobs with good
income, from $5k to $10k pm to foreigners and no longer able to find an
equivalent. And they ended up as self employed agents or taxi drivers. Not doing
anything to protect the better educated citizens that are professionally
qualified will spell doom to the ruling party for sure. You cannot bluff the
people all the time.
The main reason for opening the flood gate for foreigners is to create more
and better jobs for the citizens, not cleaners, not downgrading to lesser paying
jobs. This is a betrayal of the whole mission. More foreigners mean more good
jobs for Singaporeans, NOT, more foreigners mean lesser good jobs for
Singaporeans but more good jobs for them.
There are many jobs in the govt, in the stats boards, in GLCs that need not
go to foreigners. The Amy Cheong case will stand up like a sore thumb. So would
the PR of SMRT. Are Sinkies that dull that these jobs must go to foreigners? The
govt must adopt a Sinkie first policy when jobs are concerned. The civil
service, the stats boards, the GLCs, must recruit Sinkies first. Only
specialised jobs that no Sinkies can do or qualify to do should they go to
foreigners. There is no reason why such jobs should go to foreigners in the
first place. It is not the responsibility of the Govt to provide jobs for
foreigners, even public housing. And foreigners should include PRs.
Let the foreign companies provide jobs for foreigners and for Sinkies. And
make sure they are good jobs. This is what it is all about in opening the gate
to foreigners. It must not be the other way round, providing good jobs to
foreigners and bad and lowly paid jobs to Sinkies. And the deception of printing
pink ICs to foreigners to call them citizens would not be tahan for long. The
slew of hands has been exposed.
Can the Govt get its priorities right? The votes for the govt come from the
citizens. The Govt has a social contract and responsibility to its citizens, not
to foreigners, not to PRs.
