Singaporeans, is this what you want? To drive investments away and together with it, the jobs as well?

Singaporeans, is this what you want? To drive investments away and together with it, the jobs as well?

Your noise will be heard far and wide.

The Government has to strike a balance. In striking this balance, they take into account 3 factors:

1. The needs of our industries and enterprises.

2. The needs of our workers of this generation.

3. The opportunities for our children in the next generations.

When you send the wrong signal and turn investors away, not only your jobs will be impacted, the good jobs the government wants to create for the young who are still in schools, and those yet to be born will be impacted as well.

There are Singaporeans with valid concerns to be addressed but there are far more people with a political agenda who, on a daily basis, are on social media to stir the negative sentiments such as pointing out the number of errant companies flagged for discriminatory hiring practices.

Tell you what, the fact that you even get to know that such discriminatory practices exist means that there is monitoring of the situation by the authorities. And yes, the process can be refined and that is being looked into.

Those who continue to stir the negative sentiments against foreigners are not doing Singaporeans any favour. Their agenda is political.
