Wooden ESM's strange question now on whether FTs really create jobs and wealth for SG

[Confuseous]

It is strange that ESM Goh is asking the question now since he was the one who allowed the large influx to take place under his leadership. Shouldn't such questions be asked before policies are implemented? The PAP very often sold us this idea that "foreigners create jobs for Singaporeans" to promote the FT policy - it is strange to hear now that ESM Goh is not certain this is true. I appreciate his desire to "advance the debate" - it is long overdue and Singaporeans now know that things cannot be taken at face value be it "foreigners create jobs for Singaporeans", "foreigners help to improve your income" and so on. If everything the PAP said about the FT policy is true, we should all be jumping for joy and asking for more ..more and more. But this is not the case and a real in-depth debate is long overdue - our dependence on foreign labor might have grown to the point of irreversibility and I believe there are now long term unavoidable effects that may be unfavorable for the majority of Singaporeans.

perhaps he know his time is up, hence begin firing and poking holes - recall the crying LBH about the casino after he has faded from limelight.
