What is that Singaporean Core?



When a mainstream media gets its headline wrong, all hell breaks loose.

It's proof that many do not read beyond the headline. And of course there are also the opportunists who deliberately refuse to understand.

So what did Chan Chun Sing say? He said that the Singapore Core (or Singaporean core if you like) does not mean an all-Singaporean workforce.

Let's pause to understand. He isn't saying anything strange or outrageous.

DPM Tharman Shanmugaratnam had said previously that the government's target is to cap foreign workers in our workforce at 1/3 of the total workforce.

Lim Swee Say said before the general election last year that the government will ensure that the Singaporean core in our workforce remained at 2/3 of the total workforce.

Thus, what Chan Chun Sing has said is in harmony and agreement with Tharman and Lim Swee Say.
