we must learn from the mod on his enlightenment on how to post correctly on edmw to avoid making the same mistake in the future
If criticise FT or use the c word wrongly, get infracted.

If praise FT, also get infracted.

I thought I was enlightened and found the path of happiness in EDMW.

Now I am confused.

Would I get infraction if I scold or criticize Pinky, his group and their party members? That's my main objective I'm lurking in this forum.

Very interested to know the explanation.
If being pro-X implies you are anti-Y, then this is a breakthrough discovery in fundamental logic.

i will advise you against that

we need to learn to have a positive mindset and post correctly
Let's not speculate.

Suggest you wait for the mod who infracted you to reply.

Or for the mini mods to address this issue and potentially derail this thread.

Upon review, your post and Joe Maya are just sarcasm and should not be interpreted literally as discriminatory. Pts removed

Pts for TS of that thread stays because he only quote article out of context and spread the misinformation that Singaporeans are not qualified.

Here is the full quote.

"Some international banks and professional services firms have expressed frustration over the pressure to hire local staff at the junior level, where it can be hard to find appropriate skills, people familiar with the matter said. That’s been exacerbated by a labour shortage, which has dropped Singapore’s jobless rate to just 2.4%, less than half Hong Kong’s level."

Thanks and have a good weekend.

IMO its a bit of a stretch to say it is due to labor shortage but you do you.

Means they cannot find qualified people what.

Also, exacerbated by labor shortage does not mean the root cause is a labor shortage.

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/exacerbate
Exacerbate means to make something that is already bad even worse. It is not the root cause.

To say that the labor shortage is the cause is also as wrong as the TS. The one giving that reason and infraction is no better than the TS when it comes to misinformation.

Article is saying root cause is X, exacerbated by Y. But the mod infracting says root cause is Y, which is wrong.

If you analyze this section, the writer emphasized on finding appropriate skills FIRST, before saying it is exacerbated by labour shortage.

This is very different from emphasizing lack of labour FIRST, then saying it's exacerbated by lack of qualifications.
If the message was that the problem is from labour shortage, it would have been "where it can be hard to find local Singaporeans. That's been exacerbated by a lack of qualifications." Notice how this statement would mean very different from what is in the article.

Anyway the key phrase is: "Hard to find Appropriate Skills"

And if you compare to what Qualified means in Cambridge Dictionary:
"having successfully finished a course of study or training, or having particular skills"

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/qualified
---

But anyway because mod already clarified it's misinformation we should just accept it.

It will make our lives happier.

Hope the TS repent and reflect.
