Chum! By then gig job like Grab drivers, Taxi drivers also replaced by "Autonomous Taxis", "Automonous Buses" (in trial now in Punggol, NTU, etc), and Delivery replaced by "Robots", replaced by "Drones", etc.!
Sat inside one... Got horn by vehicle with driver cos exit to main rd too slow... When I exit, I look at autonomous vehicle sticker at the side and behind.

If the smart and blind people can drive. I am sure this is a good country and is a blessing to be here...

they have been playing the games for many many years . they know how to go around all those policies even those new wayang policies. they were purposely left with loopholes until ppl find out and complain then they will "patch" it and the vicious cycle continues until sinkies do something about it . :o
You are absolutely right.

My foreign intern just gotten the approval from MOM. Converted to Perm now

HR knows the loopholes very well.

Many companies do not want to employ Singkies, not because they are expensive but other factors.

Young Singaporeans will work as Grab or delivery eventually, and that is considered employment.

Very strange?

Why Singkies keep talking about retrenchment while young foreigners are pouring into Singapore for job opportunities. 2 of my foreign interns have converted after graduation. The company knows how to play the game to obtain EP/SP for them. HR knows the loopholes.

Many foreigners are coming to Singapore to look for jobs because jobs are scarce in their own countries. Singapore is the best country in Asia which opens its legs super wide for foreign workers.
4G ish the best government. Citizens collect used cans cum bottles. High paying jods for Visitors. It all starts with the EP being origin.

The gate cannot be closed because Singapore is run like Inc. Without young foreigners coming in to take up jobs, Singapore is finished. Singapore only advantage is human capital.

The gate will open wider and wider as time goes by.

Young Singkies must embrace such change. Learn a hard skill so that when you are retrenched after 40s, you can still make money out of your hard skill while looking for the next opportunity.
You got learn ma? :(
