What the simple mistake about nurses in the PWP tells us

[Confuseous]

I was taught when I started work that a single careless mistake or typo in any document undermines the credibility of the document: if there was one mistake, what other mistakes were there, is a reasonable assumption the critical reader could make?

Then there was the issue of whether the author cared about the quality of the work done, if he didn’t bother to be careful. This was another reason not to trust it. (Yes I trained as a lawyer, and for my transgressions, worked in a PR firm for a year.)

Seems poetic justice and appropriate for the Population White Paper to contain such a howler that DPM Teo had publicly to correct the howler and PM to apologise for it. If they didn’t, they and their loved ones would be safer in using M’sian hospitals? Juz joking.

Because one can reasonably wonder if the assumptions in said paper were thought thru, or juz “cut and paste” from conventional wisdom macroeconomics. We know that macroeconomics conventional wisdom was found wanting in the recent financial crisis, so it is reasonable if standard macroeconomics assumptions on the importance of demographics on growth will be found wanting.

PMO staff did not make mistake cos they rely on MOM's definition all along based on type of permit issued. Foreign nurses are issued with Work Permit like the cleaners/construction workers as their salary does not qualify for Employment Pass and even S Pass to be considered professionals. PMO simply cut and paste from available source without realising the sensitivity and ministers had also missed to understand the repercussion when the PWP was released. Certain union body could have raised it, my guess.

Goes to illustrate the level of care and attention these friggin clowns had devoted to this "important" paper....

These brainless bureaucrats should be fired and replaced with cheap foreigners. Then they will see the stupidity of their actions.

Is the nurse looking after LKY a cheap foreigner?

Next time a Leegime doggie goes see doctor or hospital, in ER, anyhow stitch (low skilled), give wrong medicine (cannot read), give choke hold instead of carry (no education), throw needles for injection (must sure it go in), Poke until big hole for blood and liquid taking (make sure the tube go in and the blood come out mah) for our Leegime doggies. For others, please show your first world high skilled ability.
