TR EMERITUS

Being a Singapore employment agency and Singaporeans, I urge you and your Singapore clients to employ Singaporeans only. Last week, our SM Goh asked the PRs to be Singaporeans or their PRs will not be renewed, All PRs and foreigners say they are here to “make money only” and will retire in their home countries. They are not interested to be Singapore Citizens. They are here to exploit Singapore and its people. They steal Our jobs created by our government / companies, enjoy government subsidies for long time as though we owe them a living. They are so Shameless and Greedy to ask our government for “Dual Citizenships” so that they can enjoy more subsidies at the expense of Singaporeans. They simply refuse to give up their countries citizenships and continue to enjoy the best of both world. They are more Greedy than Singaporeans. For any decent person, if you are in other country / friend’s house, will you dare to ask so much ??? Nobody owes them a living so is our Government and Singaporeans. Many recruiters and companies complain Singaporeans have bad attitudes asking for high salaries. It is not true, think again. The PRs and foreign workers undercut our salaries as they enjoy favorable exchange rates. Eg A PR or foreigner from Malaysia taking an executive job at S$3000 in Singapore , it is equivalent to M$7200 of a Malaysian manager’s pay but he is doing an executive job. Ie Getting a manager’s pay but doing an executive job, what good and easy money to them. It is impossible for a Malaysian executive to get a Malaysian manager job due to lack of managerial experiences/ qualifications besides managerial positions are hard to come by too. Within a year they can buy landed property in Malaysia. Within a few years they become millionaires and property magnates in Malaysia. Malaysian government sell properties to their people at lower price than that of foreign buyers. Do you think a Singaporean earning $3000 can become millionaires and property magnate in Singapore within a few years ? . Besides when these PRs and foreigners gained enough experiences they are asking far More money than Singaporeans. You guys should know better than me of this truth. They claim they contribute a lot to Singapore’s success and pay taxes without them Singapore will not achieve success today and without them Singapore will DIE ! Think again, who first built the economic foundation of Singapore so that more jobs can be created ? It is OUR forefathers not their forefathers. They just STEAL from us. These jobs belong to Singaporeans. They claim without them Singapore and Singaporeans will die in future. Look, Singapore has world class education there is no reason why Singaporeans cannot do the jobs of foreign talents. They just refuse to pass down their expertise to us in order to protect their rice bowls. The damages they done to Singaporeans far exceed the taxes they pay. What a lot of contribution are they talking about. Singaporeans and government contribute more to PRs and foreigners by giving our jobs to them and let them come in freely and easily and steal our benefits away. If they are so talented and so patriotic then ask them to go back and contribute to their home countries and there they have rights to demand for More Benefits, their government Owe them. Why their government never see the talents in them and retain them ? Or if they are so talented as they claim to be, they will have no problems finding another job in other countries. Don’t come boasting and threatening us that we will not survive without them. Go and ask their government and other countries government for More Benefits, don’t come to Singapore and ask for More Benefits at Singaporeans expense. WE don’t Owe them ! The employers’ market situation also created many discriminations. (age, race, gender, qualifications- graduates from local institutions, must have related industry skills and experiences only). There are too many jobseekers than the jobs available now. You guys are also badly hit by this liberal immigration policies having to face demanding and difficult clients asking for the sky. After knowing that these ungrateful, selfish, greedy and shameless PRs and foreigners admitting in public that they are here to “Suck” Singaporeans and leave us to die when they retire. Do you as a fellow Singaporean still want to recommend PRs and foreigners to your clients ? Will you encourage and persuade your clients to get Singaporeans ? I really hope you will do so. As fellow country men / women, irregardless of race, language and religion, WE all share a common national identity and destiny of “Singaporeans”, if war comes, economic downturn and crisis, WE only have one another to fall back on. All these PRs, foreigners and imported Singaporeans will take shelter in their home countries, leaving us to die. Guo Liang, a popular Chinese host on TV channel 8 sent his son back to Shanghai during H1N1 outbreak recently. He and his family are imported Singaporeans. The general election is coming at the end of this year.

According to the latest press release from the Ministry of Manpower, the total employment rate in Singapore continues to "grow" with 24,900 new jobs created in the last quarter alone. Job vacancies also rose by 73 percent to 45,100 in June, fuelled by strong economic growth secondary to the improving global economy. However, it was not revealed who get the new jobs. For all we now, the bulk of it may go to foreigners and PRs instead of Singapore citizens. Though the overall unemployment rate remains stable at 2.2 percent, it does not give an accurate portrayal of the reality on the ground as MOM lumps all PRs and citizens together in all its statistics. Neither does it include Singapore citizens who have given up looking for a job altogether or are on contract jobs. The figures can be easily skewed by getting foreigners to become PRs which will contribute to the "resident unemployment rate". MOM should release the real unemployment rate for Singapore citizens (ex cluding PRs) as well as its underemployment rate to better reflect the job market nowadays which is increasingly dominated by foreigners. Till then, Singaporeans will have to take the figures provided by MOM which is quite "divorced" from the reality on the ground with a heavy dose of salt.   Please join our Facebook page here and invite your friends to do so to create awareness of the current affairs affecting Singaporeans.

Our highly paid MPs have again shown their ignorant regarding the termination of the free shuttle bus provided by Resort World Sentosa. They try to obfuscate the issue by highlighting that RWS promoted their casino rewards programme at heartland shopping malls and 7th month Hungry Ghost events. If promotion of their rewards programme contravenes Casino Control (Advertising) Regulations, they should just stop their promotion only. I have taken the shuttle numerous times and the exterior of the bus say "free shuttle bus to RWS: and not "free shuttle bus to casino". The only advert on the bus I remember promotes Universal Studios with a nice logo behind the bus. Everyone knows that the media in Singapore is tightly controlled by the government and for MCYS to accuse RWS of releasing stories of casino winnings to the media to drum up business for their casino is simply preposterous. MCYS should instead ask the MDA to investigate why the media choose to run these stories which might tempt people to try their luck at the casino. The onus is on the media to run the news, although RWS supplies the news releases to the media, the media can obviously choose to ignore it for the greater good. Maybe the media are more than willing to run smoke screen stories like these to cover up the many screw-up by the government. Least we forget, it was the media who also reported on the availability of these shuttle buses. MCYS have highlighted that the shuttle buses are not part of any public transport system but according to RWS operations VP Noel Hawkes, “RWS had been working with government agencies to ease congestion at the junction of Telok Blangah Road and Sentosa Gateway by providing bus services. When RWS put together its transportation master plan, “that has always been one of our plans to have a heartland shuttle service, so that we would bring people here by public transport and avoid people having to take cars and jam up the junction”. Even LTA also agrees that visitors should take public transport to RWS “Yam Ah Mee, Chief Executive of LTA, notes that public transport will be the best option for visitors. "We urge the public to take advantage of public transport to go to Sentosa and the resort. The enhanced road network and traffic management measures will help minimise congestion, but with many who will want to visit the IR as soon as it opens, traffic delays can be expected. The public is thus encouraged to take public transport to the resort." Public and island transportation are the recommended modes of travel into Sentosa, and SDC and LTA will monitor traffic patterns and make adjustments when necessary. Visitors are strongly encouraged to plan their journeys and factor in time for travelling to ensure positive experiences for themselves, their families and friends.” But providing the shuttle bus for their customer, RWS ensures that their customers arrived in their resort in a timely manner which will translate to positive experience for their customers, if this does not constitute as public transport, please tell me what does. MCYS also takes issue with the fact that the shuttle buses operated very long hours, up to 10.30pm on weeknights and up to 2.30am on weekends and the eves of public holidays and assumes that the late hours meant that most of the facilities at the RWS would be closed, except for the casino. Please see the list below entertainment/shopping/dinning facilities and their operation hours。 Asia’s Ultimate Mixed Martial Arts Fighting Championship - 8pm Voyage de la Vie – I have seen this show and it runs till 11plus for the 8:30pm show The show runs on Wednesdays, Thursdays & Fridays, 8:30PM, Saturdays & Sundays, 5.30PM & 8.30PM Universal Studios After Hours - 7:00pm to 10:00pm every Friday and Saturday Lake of Dreams - Every Night, 9pm at FestiveWalk Hershey’s (The Bull Ring™, Level 1) - 10:00am - 10:00pm (Daily) Victoria’s Secret (Galleria Level 2) 11am-10pm (Thur-Sun) 11am-10:30pm (Fri-Sat) BreadTalk (The Forum) 8:00am - 11:00pm (Mon-Thurs) | 8:00am - 01:00am (Fri - Sat) Garrett Popcorn (The Bull Ring) 10am - 10pm Chili’s Grill & Bar (The Bull Ring) 11am-10pm (Mon - Thurs) | 11am - 11pm (Fri-Sun) Hard Rock Café (The Forum) 11:00am-1:00am As you can see from above, most of the shops open at 10am and closes at 10pm, which coincides with the operation timings of the shuttle buses. How can MCYS without checking the fact states that most of the facilities except the casino are closed. If they want to emphasize on the fact that the shuttle bus runs till 2:30am on Fridays, Saturdays and eves of public holidays when most of the facilities are indeed closed, they should also examine NR1 and NR6 which runs on the same schedule but until much later, till 4:30am. Unlike MCYS I can confidently conclude that the sole purpose of NR1 and NR6 are to ferry Singaporeans from the Heartlands to the casino because both buses start their service at 11:30pm when almost all the other facilities beside the casino are closed. The free shuttle buses provided by RWS are no different from other free shuttle buses provided by shopping mall like IMM /Sembawang Shopping Centre or both IKEAs. These buses provide incentives for their customer to visit and shop at their premises. MCYS should seriously reconsider the shuttle bus ban as it might seem as anti-competitive behaviour and impeding the growth of the business which setup shops in RWS. If you are wondering what possible motive MCYS has to implement this ban in the first place, please refer to my earlier article https://www.tremeritus.net/2010/09/15/mcys-stopping-of-ir-shuttle-buses-a-conspiracy/ Finally to address all you anti-gaming lobby holier than thou people. If the government is really serious about tackling this issue on local gamblers, I have several solutions which will 110% address the root cause of the local casino gambling problem and whoever complain about the shuttle bus in the first place, don't bark up the wrong tree, suggest these to your MPs instead 1. Raise the casino levy to an obscene amount like S$500-S$1000 per day and to eliminate the option of having a yearly casino levy. This will effectively stop all lower/middle income patrons from visiting the casino. 2. The Government should also mandate that all patrons should have a minimum annual income of $S30,000 to ensure that in event the casino patrons are truly addicted to gaming, they have a means to support their gaming habits. 3. Should the Government find that the steps outline above are still not sufficient to curb the gaming habits of Singaporeans the Government should implement an outright ban on all Singaporeans from entering the casino The destination of the free shuttle buses are to the integrated resorts and the casino are only a small part of it. Before the arrival of the IRs, Singaporeans are use to taking cruises and coaches to satisfy their gaming urges. It can be confirmed that the termination of the shuttle buses will have little to no impact on the gamblers. Finally, I hope everyone will come and support my facebook group to bring back the free shuttle bus. http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=113586455367007&v=wall&ref=ts Thank you     Chimes of Freedom  Read More →
