Amendment of regulation Ministry of Manpower for employing foreigner in Singapore

I am glad that finally MOM have realise the critical situation of the current employment rate of Singaporean. I personally encourage such amendment of this regulation to prevent the miss use of the relax regulation.

During the past few years, PAP government have come out with more relax and flexible policies to allow more companies to employ more foreign workers to prevent the so call lack of manpower in Singapore to fill up job vacancies. Because of more competitive lower pay that these workers are willing to take and longer hours they are willing to work, this have attract many companies to find ways to get them by finding "loop holes" in policies and to replace the local workers with them. Many lower level employees are affected as they are the major group to be replaced.

Result show in statistic of MOM is that this cause many Singaporean to lose their job and have many problems to encourage companies to keep them, especially the recent increase of retrench rate announce.

During May Day on 2008, many opposition party politicians bring up this topics regarding about too many new job vacancies taken up by foreigners. These have given Singaporean and PAP government another round of "Alarm Call".

Although PAP have run and hide from this problem causes by these policies, I personally is encouraged with the progress and result that many voices of our people are heard after a series of pressure to PAP government. Let us together again be watchful for the outcome and continue to voice out our view of this current amendment of MOM policies for employing foreigner.
