Pmo I am equally concern about the livelihood of Singaporeans and have been trying to hire them as best that I can. However, as mentioned in the article, this noble task is getting tougher by the day. In my little humble opinion, the current measures that are enforced by MOM is suited more for the hiring of foreign talents, whereby majority Singaporeans pit for jobs. As mentioned before, no Singaporeans are taking up jobs at the lower ranks of each industry such as service, construction, cleaning, baking etc. 3. Despite many appeals to MOM over time, it seems that MOM is very set in hanging on to their policy with no solution in sight for the industry.
I am wondering what does it take for MOM to relook into this issue as SMEs cannot keep going on at this pace. Please advice if we need to collect and provide more information from the various industries on this area so that MOM will look into this? 4. Articles such as “Fewer firms send workers for training” dated 7 July 2011 and “Singapore may face labour crunch” dated 8 July 2011 tells it all. On the former, it is obvious. However, the reluctance to send team for training is not primarily because the ending of SPUR on Nov 30 last year. We all know that training is good and a must. However, with high turnover and no replacement in place, which organizations will partake in this well intended initiative? 5. With also the recent news about TTSH’s mass hiring of 10 Filipinos (stand corrected), this just reflect the issue even within the government sector (MOH now helmed by ex MOM Minister).
