their contribution to gdp may be miniscule, but they also expense citizens' opportunities to places in schools, hospital beds, doctors, infrastructure space, social space, etc.

not everything are tangible and often the intangible ones are the most crucial, which citizens are losing everyday.

See the trolley-full of stuff when they shopped at NTUC. Almost everyday. These are immediate impact to NTUC.

See the amount they are paying for their food, rental, etc. Multiply it with the count.

the GDP is all half truth and all lies

there are the real GDP which show that we are kicking the can down the road

all these PAP GDP concocted lies just a show the public wants to hear

like the 154th media show how good and diligent our police force are
but little india riot occurred flipping police cars and Terrorist escaped from prison.

all these are the PAP NAZI Hitler organization making and undertaking to fool the public into control

Singapore is a small piece of land with limited resources. Land is scare and everything needs to be imported.

Just look at the average selling price of a HDB in 2004 vs one in 2014.

Singapore does not produce these food and trolley-full of stuff.

They are all imported and these drives up average cost for everyone.

For example, when Singapore had a population of 3.5 million, regional suppliers could just deliver our poultry needs from Malaysia/Thailand to us via lorries.

Today, with our population at 5.61 million, regional supplies are unable to meet our needs. Chickens in Singapore today need to be imported from South America via a 30-day sea voyage.

The additional transportation cost and frozen storage cost are passed to all consumers in Singapore.

Do you have some number to support your claim?
Opposition can also help if their town council employ 100% Singapore and reject all FT application.

I have all the number in the internet to support the claim
and please dont be lazy found out from the internet

Opposition does not mean that opposition parties have an opposition policies from the ruling party
and opposition can and cannot help it depend them and maybe with time


your questioning and thinking are rather shallow and not well thought out

Trump WIN!!!!!
the common people of USA has spoken!

no such thing as Free Trade!
no such thing as globalization!

TRUMP believe their kind has help their kind to be great
TRUMP believe in themselves

**** the PAP and their FTs and their globalization and their Free Trade

Disadvantages of Globalization - pretty sure those in
leadership positions are not in this sin of ignorance.

Some of the biggest problems are:

1. Very intense competition

2. Harder for smaller businesses to establish themselves

3. Paying low wages

The smart people can go out to help smaller businesses
with funding and whatever help they need.

However one issue that is not often brought out and that
must be corrected is:

1. How not to have in your mind that once you reach
62 years old, it is time to retire if you are still healthy
and can continue to adopt the attitude to transfer your
knowledge and skills to the younger colleagues?

2. How to motivate elderly people who do not have
much education and the relevant skills to go and
upgrade themselves so that they can be more relevant to
the current new jobs that are available?

your description of smart people are vague

to first help those smaller businesse and the very people of that nation

Its all start with "smart people" who happened to be trump right now



he went though with sooo much negativity on him on all side
Trump still win
smart people are people like trump
smart people are people who speak the heart of the people


dumb people are those in the PAP

 

[falcom2002]

Thank you Creator for dumb people!
They are the ones
who make me feel
REALLY smart!

You see so little people
realize that stupid dumb people
are full of confidence while the
real problem in this world is
that the smart intelligent people
are full of doubts.

Real Leaders don't follow because very often some kind of
influences tends to make smart people smarter and
dumb people dumber.

Dont be daft.

U see Thailand selling imported rice?

U see Japan selling imported fish?

U see Saudi selling imported oil?

Sg's only resource is human and we are favouring imports rather than our own.

Nice analogy. Only flaw is those countries have an abundance of their resources while we dont have an abundance of humans

Abundance of Uber, Grab as well as Taxi Drivers?

More than 200000 of them with at least 75% plying the roads everyday to make ends meet and feed their families.

Many of whom are SG universities graduates, some with even Masters and PhD degrees.

What don't we import cheap foreigners as drivers and free up the public-funded uni grad drivers to take up higher value creation jobs

Jobs in Singapore currently given to some 370,000 plus high salaried FTs earning an mean monthly wage of well above $4,000 in Singapore today?


PS: And we haven't talk about under-employed Singaporeans like those uni-grad selling insurance, bank products and property agents.

We are importing skilled foreigners particularly because we have a small talent pool??


I see the opp like to push a simplistic view to its followers. "Oh 1000 jobless in the country? Just kick 1000 FT out lah" "Oh prices are high? Just reduce GST and Taxes" TADA!!! Problem solved. Mind boggling why the gov don't implement with these simple solutions and run away with 100% mandate.

So characters like Yang Yin, Nisha and tens of thousands fake degrees, fake payslips foreigners possessed skills that Singapore and Singaporeans does not have?

Hmmmm, you're probably right on this count.....

PS: And by the way, PAP IB's like to indulge in the "black or white" fallacy. "Cannot replace 1000 for 1000". We are not saying no to FTs. Yes, by all means if they indeed possess skills that Singaporeans do not have.

But is this the case on the ground?

If so why are the statistics pointing the other ways?

We have the highest ever number of FTs on the island. Is the economy doing much better than ever? Achieving the highest growth and innovation rates?

Is Singapore today under LHL creating an exponential number of new jobs for Singaporeans and fresh graduates from school?

Are our fresh graduates snapped up 3, 6, 9 or even 12 months before graduation as an high-growth economy, high-value and tight labour market should be?

Are we experiencing the lowest ever unemployment rate of Singaporeans - a clear indicator of a tight labour market such that FTs need to be imported en masse to 'complement the local workforce'?

 

[FrogGreen]

A lot of people still think that the govt is reducing the number of foreigners leh.

i think we are more crowded than we ever are.

 

[Savantrainmaker]

LHL has showed himself lost and clueless in managing Singapore's population....

 

[xbriannova]

LHL has showed himself lost and clueless in managing Singapore's population....

That's if he's actually thinking of managing it. I doubt it's as simple as a job to LHL. Their paycheck says as much. A huge population of workers means business, and a proportional number of millionaires means higher paycheck for him, since his salary is pegged to the richest citizens, and the richest citizens need workers...

I wish I'm more optimistic, but how many politicians are sitting on top out of the goodness of their hearts?
