Please don't disrespect Cantonese lah. People don't understand despite you talking means you are doing a poor job of explaining. Giving that holier than thou attitude as usual.

Note that its 63% of "GROWTH"

It's not the ACTUAL % of PMET jobs held by local born

Also how did they get 63% of growth, when the following is also released by them:

In 2023, a staggering 94.5% of new jobs went to non-Singaporeans, sparking debate. The government's hesitancy to provide detailed employment breakdowns of Singaporeans and Permanent Residents raises concerns about the true impact on Singaporean workers in a rapidly changing job market.

gaslighting

outright lying

massaging statistics till they suit their viewpoint

disrespecting anybody who asks questions

these are the common tactics of the ruling party

Ok leh.

63% of 382,000 is 240,660.

This works out to 24k PMET jobs going to locally born Sinkie every year from 2014 to 2024.

Considering there are only around 30+k live births in SG each year, it is not bad.
High chance they use 10 years to make the figures better 😂 anyway should compare to birth rate 20-30 years ago.. in year 1990 it was about 60k.. in year 2000 the total number of births was about 40k.. so actually the number is very low?? How come so little Singapore getting new pmet job.. there should be about 500k people borned from year 1990 to 2000..

From this non-POFMA-ed article,

https://www.theonlinecitizen.com/20...oned-1-in-3-new-pmets-were-just-reclassified/

"Dr Tan briefly acknowledged that 1 in 3 of the increase in resident PMETs came from non-PMETs being “upgraded” to PMET roles."


so 1 in 3 of the growth was reclassified???

Actually i think this point in the article is impt. Tbh classification is not the most impt point. What matters more is whether real income has increased.

"Instead of widespread job creation, the data suggests that many workers were simply moved from one employment category to another, without significant improvements in wages or career opportunities."

So it is gd that real median income has increased. Whatever classification is not as impt as this metric.

Questioning Dr. Tan See Leng’s Claim: Who Really Benefited from PMET Job Growth?

Dr. Tan See Leng claims that 63% of resident PMET growth (2014-2024) came from local born Singaporeans but does the data actually support this?

Let’s break it down:

🔹 843,400 work permit holders (excluding domestic workers)—a record high, 17% above pre-pandemic levels.

🔹 318,222 new PRs & 219,781 new citizens (2014-2023)—how many of them were counted as "local PMET growth"?

🔹 Employment Pass & S Pass holders grew by 38,000—but what about work permit holders & other pass conversions?

🔹 Total employment growth (27,300 in 2Q 2023) was entirely from non-residents—does "solely" mean zero jobs for Singaporeans?

📌 Foreign employment growth has surged:

✅ 2022: 88.5% of 227,800 jobs went to non-residents

✅ 1Q 2023: 91.5% of 33,000 jobs went to non-residents

✅ 2Q 2023: 100% of 27,300 jobs went to non-residents

If Singaporeans are seeing declining resident employment change (first time since 2Q 2020), then how credible is the claim that 63% of PMET job growth went to local-born Singaporeans?

Are we being told the full picture, or are the numbers being redefined to mask the reality?
