The negative consequences of CECA on S'poreans

[True Believer]

In spite of the claims by the S'pore govt of the benefits of the India-S'pore Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA), arguments against its benefits are all too real for the average S'porean. CECA has increased competition for jobs, particularly in the IT sector, with concerns about foreign professionals taking jobs away from locals. The increased competition for resources and influx of foreign workers has contributed to a higher cost of living in SG, impacting the average S'porean. The worry is that CECA leads to job losses in certain sectors as businesses relocate or outsource to India, citing concerns about lower labour costs.

Blame India better than blame America huh.

There are benefits.

The confusion only comes because you assume the benefits for the PAP regime are the same for, or at least trickle down to, the common folk.

The root cause: the belief that the govt is benevolent and always has your best interests at heart.

You might want to think back on exactly which phase of your life did you start believing in that, and who/what made you believe that.

PAP should publish figures on how many Sinkies actually went over to India to work or set up businesses

The PAP makes policy decisions based on how much it benefits them and their cronies - not how it helps the hoi polloi. We are living in cloud cuckoo land if we believe that multi-millionaire ministers are in the job to "serve" the people.

The worst consequence is more sinkies have no more sense of belonging, no more patriotic, no more cohesivess as one united people

S'poreans with means will continue to migrate to greener pastures while those w/o the means will stay put and stop striving for the elusive 5Cs which have been placed firmly out of their reach.

DBS is now Delhi Bank S'pore, Changi Business Park is now Chennai Business Park and soon NUS will be New Uptron in S'pore.

India churns out fake degrees and scammers, but the PAP has
no problem opening SG's doors to 650,000 CECAs.

Man who posted image of torn Singapore flag on Facebook no longer with DBS Bank​

28 Aug 2018 06:37PM (Updated: 28 Aug 2021 05:26PM)

SINGAPORE: A man who posted an image of a torn Singapore flag on Facebook is no longer an employee of DBS Bank, the bank said on Tuesday (Aug 28).

Mr Avijit Das Patnaik had posted the picture on the Singapore Indians & Expats Facebook page on the eve of India’s Independence Day two weeks ago. The group has 11,000 members.

The post - which showed a picture of a T-shirt with a Singapore flag on it being ripped apart by a pair of hands to reveal an Indian flag underneath - was accompanied with the caption “Phir Bhi Dil Hai …” which roughly translates to “Still my heart is …” in Hindi.

The post went viral with many netizens commenting that it was offensive and insulting to Singapore. The post has since been taken down.

DBS said in a comment to complaints on its Facebook page on Aug 19 that Mr Patnaik had posted the image because he "wanted to show that even as he’s in Singapore, he remains Indian at heart".

"Upon realising the graphic was offensive, he took it down immediately," DBS said, adding that it had counselled Mr Patnaik.

On Tuesday, DBS released a statement on its Facebook page, saying that Mr Patnaik was no longer in its employ.

Recently, one of our employees Avijit Das Patnaik was counselled in connection with a post showing a T-shirt, with a...

“DBS strongly disapproves of such actions by our employees. At the same time, it is fair and right that all employees are given the benefit of due process,” the bank said in a Facebook post.

“Since the incident, a disciplinary committee has been convened and as of 24 August, he is no longer with the bank.”

When questioned on the circumstances surrounding Mr Patnaik's departure, including whether he resigned or was sacked, a DBS spokesman declined to elaborate, saying: "We have nothing further to share beyond the post."

According to the Singapore Arms and Flag National Anthem Act, any person that treats the flag with disrespect may be fined a maximum of S$1,000.

The police confirmed with Channel NewsAsia that a report has been made and that investigations are underway.
