‘A degree is nice, but we need something else’ By Seah Chiang Nee | SingaporeScene – Mon, Sep 19, 2011

Hello, get real people. The government want the influx of young 'talented' foreigners who will then be offered PR status. This is to 'reverse' the ageing population. Look at the people in the MRTs and buses that you ride in the mornings to work. Foreigners holding positions that belonged to Singaporeans, but because only a limited number of Singapore qualify for uni education these people have taken the jobs. They don't have to serve national service. They are young and graduates of their own country's uni. They don't have to do 'A' levels. They save 4 1/2 years of their lives while we Singaporeans are penalised by having to do 'A' levels and national service before we can get a job and uni is limited to a few privileged. This is a country that does not care for its own people. Don't bother to say the pledge. We are united but the government isn't.

Singapore final Q2 unemployment rate s/adj 2.1 pct
Yahoo news on 16th Sept 2011 about Singapore's lowering unemployment rate. Sounds like good news? Here are the comments.

Still need to reduce the fake FTs by 50%, though unemployment rate is low, the Singaporean Salary also low compared to inflation, housing...etc. MOM should starts to filter them and stop giving those fake & unwanted FTs employment pass or work permit. FWs as cleaner, maids, constructions are OK, we need them.

What is the face of true-blue Singaporean? How the true-blue Singaporean looks like? I believed that all Singaporean are immigrants- either Indonesian-Singaporean, Malaysian-Singaporean, Chinese-Singapore as well as Indian-Singaporean.

Can the MOM/LHL/Manpower Minister be more transparent by providing statistical figures on unemployed Singaporeans and unemployed non-Singaporeans, don't lump Singaporeans with PRs as resident you idiot, as we true-blue Singaporeans mentioned many times - what are you trying to hide?
Also, please provide employment figures on how many Singaporeans, PRs and FTs that are employed in the various business sectors - if other countries have these statistical figures available, I don't see why it should be hidden from the public view.
And explain how you arrive at the 2.1 unemployment rate??? I know of many PMETs who are still driving taxi or have jobs as security guards - you call that employment, this is temporary work!!! Please create an unemployment registry for Singaporeans and you will find that the unemployment figures for Singaporeans are much higher than what it was reported.
When can the garment be mature and treat us as ADULTS, still treating Singaporeans like IDIOTS???
If there is no hidden agenda, please publish the above statistical figures on the Singapore national paper for all Singaporeans to see and judge.....

Can the number be divided into category Singaporean(excluding PR) and non Singaporean.
Before they build the CASINOS, they said the jobs are for SINGAPOREANS. After that, you see FT supervisors, FT workers, FT cleaners, FTs...... inside the CASINOS.
Of course, they hire some FTs to tekkan workers so that the place becomes undesireable workplace, what FTs controlling the work schedules, all the nonsense, MC cut pay........etc.
Sure, no local want to work in the SLAVE enviornment lah....... So they employ FTs, OK lah, they win lah....... So, Casino works not for us lah....... :( This is crazy.

@ beggardog,
Are you so sure this is "your country"?!? Under the laws, singapore is the property of the singapore government: hence, why when your HDB apartment; albeit fuly pid up: goes enblock: the "majority" wishes it. And after going 'enblock" the government quickly sells it cheaply and/or rent it out to FTs and newbies only ending up YOU PAYING ANOTHER MORGAGE that was CLEARED in the first place through the HDB's offer for a "new" apartment to you.
