as a local business owner i fear, as this could potentially introduce a new paradigm for local workforce, having to compete with sez based workforce that are cheaper, better, faster.
where the local business and workforce have to adapt, our peers have already been 3.5x cheaper and is ready to take the our pie.
from local services, to retail and more.
especially blue collar workers in singapore, who are generally older in age, and also less productive.
and also the majority of local workforce, who pays higher taxes, dues, cost of living, that is entirely dependent on the economic premium that we have been enjoying, due to singapore's most precious resource, its people, and sovereignty.
thank you, and praying that our gov has the foresight to have protectionist policies in place so that we can reap the benefits of the sez agreement.

eh you are back

you last time got saga one right

any laojiao care to refresh? I forgot liao

If people here think those in Singapore can eat their dollars and cents and credit cards and phones, then it benefits Malaysia more.

If you think we can get more food from them due to special lane, then win win for both.

IN FOCUS: Will Singapore meet its 30 by 30 food sustainability goal?​

We give up the advantage that makes Sg special and we only get food, something that many 3rd world countries can produce, from them? Seriously sounds like a bad deal.
