Kangadrool Supersonic April 30, 2012 Share April 30, 2012 Think they will have a good "reason" to say this is the results of cutting down the flow of immigrants/FT/FWs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonvios 1st Gear April 30, 2012 Share April 30, 2012 Think they will have a good "reason" to say this is the results of cutting down the flow of immigrants/FT/FWs. Not sure what they are talking about. In early 90, Sin, JB and Batam form growth triangle and many supporting industries had moved to Batam and JB. What the point of holding on to a industies if 90% of the workers are going to be FT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windwaver Turbocharged May 1, 2012 Share May 1, 2012 Randstad regional director Karin Clarke said: "I think government is committed to restricting the number of foreign workers, particularly at the unskilled and semi-skilled layer. "Those restrictions are here to stay. But I think there will be some easing when you look at professionals and the qualified level because Singapore's long-term growth depends on being able to bring in the skill sets to upskill the Singaporean workforce. "Training and education come from overseas expertise, so if we continue to attract large R&D centres, then we need to be bringing those people in that can train the workforce. Karin Clarke doesn't sound local isn't it? I really burst out laughing when I saw "Training and education come from overseas expertise". Trust me, that's the last thing that will happen. You think foreigners are here to TEACH YOU so that you can snatch their high paying rice bowl? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time economy not so good, companies will not be hiring. I hope you are not applying for a job that needs critical and strategic thinking.

I hope you are not applying for a job that needs critical and strategic thinking. I already feel that not many companies is hiring now. Even they are hiring but they still tend to choose and pick the best! But my friend told me even got opportunity but "jumping" into another company also might have risk, esp when the economy is not good, cause you might be the first to be axe if they want to cut down headcount.
