[h=2]Goh Chok Tong asks: Do skilled immigrants create jobs or take away jobs from locals?[/h]Posted by temasektimes on June 24, 2012


Former Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong may be one of the proponents of Singapore’s pro-foreigner and ultra-liberal immigration policies, but till today, he is still unsure if ‘skilled’ immigrants help create jobs or take them away from native Singaporeans.

In a post on his Facebook last night, Emeritus Senior Minister (ESM) Goh shared an article he read on the Asian Wall Street Journal and asked:
“Do skilled immigrants create jobs or take away jobs from locals? Just read an article in AWSJ on this debate in the US. Prof Slaughter, the writer, said that “skilled immigrants have long supported US jobs and living standards. They bring human capital, financial capital, and connections to opportunities abroad.”

He added that it would be ‘good’ for economists to research the subject in depth though the floodgates have been opened to foreigners from all over the world way back in the early 2000s causing Singapore to be ‘swarmed’:

“Prof Slaughter cited studies to back up his point. This subject is a hot button issue in Singapore. It would be good if economists could research this subject in depth. It would help advance debate on this politically sensitive issue.”

Under Singapore’s ‘unique’ immigration policies, even construction workers, bus captains, hawkers, cleaners and prostitutes are considered ‘skilled immigrants’.

During his tenure as Prime Minister, ESM Goh promised ‘Swiss standard of living’ for Singaporeans by 2000. After ten years, Singapore has indeed attained the ‘Swiss cost of living’, but definitely not its quality of life.

no big issues with those who do bring in jobs and contribute.....but even retarded clinton can see that very many do the opposite. They take away jobs that locals can do ....contribute little and fight/kill locals.
They are looking at FTs through rose tinted glasses.

Instead of asking that question ,he should instead ask these question,

"Don't you honourable citizens think that I am very lowly-paid"

The real culprits are the 60% who are themselves victims of half a century of brainwashing by the 154th. The remaining 40% just need to put in the extra effort to tilt 10% over to evict the Traitors and bring nationhood back to the country.

Donch need to feel shameful. Stand tall. Hold the fort. Shove back at them. If SGs continue to retreat, it will only embolden the Traitors and Foreigners to trod on SGs. It is all in the mind.

If woody is so confident, why still hide data behind MOM? Today there was no transparent informations from MOM as to how many Singaporeans are jobless.
