SAKAE shatters manpower myths, PAP is WRONG!



The myth that drove PAP govt to import more and more foreigners has been shattered by Sakae Sushi. At the end, in trying to hoodwink one ivory tower minister and a few PAP MPs, Sakae has unveiled what has driven PAP policy are wrongful myths fed to PAP govt that Singaporeans are fussy choosy workers who will turn down decent good paying jobs. The PAP govt instead of listening to the people they are suppose to represent believed everything that business bosses told them. The end result is the opening of floodgates for foreigners driving down the wages of poorer Singaporeans. 

What Sakae reveal is they basically want cheap labor doing 12 hour a day work 6 days a week. As long as Singaporeans hesitate to take such jobs, employers will scream FUSSY. These jobs can be redesigned, say into 2 shifts, so that older Singaporean workers can take it up. The govt wants Singaporeans to work until 65 or 70...then foul up the quality of jobs available by allowing the import of cheap 3rd world labor. In the end Singaporeans will be drag down by what these foreigners are willing to take because they are from undeveloped 3rd world countries with labor exploitation. How can the lives of Singaporeans improve if 3rd world labor is imported to compete side-by-side with them? It will drive them downwards....spiral them downwards.

Now Singapore's wage structure has become a 3rd world wage structure. Why a country develop until first world status but keeps a 3rd world wage structure? It means that progress only benefit a small number of people, prosperity is not shared by concentrated at the top and among the elites. This means our society has become very unequal in fact the most unequal country among developed nations.

Now this wage structure is weaved into our economy and become permanent and entrenched. Until now we still hear PAP persuading us to welcome more foreigners. Does the PAP not care about ordinary Singaporeans anymore who are suffering from the impact of their policy? 

The PAP tactic now is to call Singaporeans who are fearful of their bad policy XENOPHOBIC and ANTI-FOREIGNERS. Such political tactics will polarise our society and widen the divide. If they keep playing such tactics, how can we trust them to do what is right for Singaporeans and create a better future for all? We must move away from the politics of labeling and antagonism to craft a more constructive narrative...let the voice of reason and truth be heard. PAP should drop its negative tactics and listen to the ground truth.
