this is an issue. after all, the people live in tiny island will have to compete with those FT who excelled in the much larger foreign countries. from competency standpoint, FT got higher odd to out match the locals for sure. Especially in the banking and large MNC, CECA people are everywhere and they will constantly pull own people from CECA to singapore (subject to gov approval of course, but MNC nromally got deal with gov on the FT quota based on their investment scale. There got to be a balance which the government need to figure out.

I m glad dat Minister Tan, has gone thru n hve the knowledge of wat is going on in the back door.

Employers of all range could be given tax incentives to offset employing more locals especially at middle management level where these workers are mostly reaching middle age to avoid displacing these locals leading to living in hardship when they cannot compete with foreign talents being paid lower wages and are committed to work harder. Accepted foreign talents are necessary but the PAP should not profit the foreign investors and the government’s coffers at the expense of locals who need a livelihood and maintain good self esteem to be have a successful career till retirement. Ministers ought to address the emotions, dignity and the pride of being a Singaporean to fight for the country.

One problem the Government has from a communications perspective is that public bodies in Singapore never admit they made a mistake, which leads them to split hairs over differences because they always need to be 'right'. We all have experience with this - and it leads to a lack of trust. On the issue of education, no, the Singapore system does not serve children well. It does not encourage independent thinking and does not incorporate technology into courses. Singaporean students lead the world in the taking of exams, and that's as far as it goes. I actually feel quite sorry for my children in this regard.

I notice OYK didn't answer the PSP's question about whether the 1 year temporary stay can be repeatedly renewed (thus subject to repeated applications and abuse). And also the PSP seemed to be conveying the point that the requirements to meet for the 1 year temporary stay are too little with the thresholds too low; OYK didn't directly address this too, instead he took quite a superficial understanding of "freehand". Yes Singapore is not obliged to give free passes, but if the requirements to get a free pass are extremely low (which is the PSP's point), would that be almost akin to a free hand, thus contributing to the concerns raised by singaporeans? I think the Speaker of Parliament needs to do his job better in ensuring all questions are addressed.

Why does CECA repeatedly appear in conversations but practically no one talks about any other trade agreements?

iSingaporeans cannot accept this: That we do not have enough local talent. We may be educated but we most of us are just average talents. Without these FTs, which I have met many, especially Indian FTs, MNCs will not set up shop here. MNCs want to set up shop here and immediately start running. Without FTs, even mid level jobs will not be available for Singaporeans. It may be hard to take for us, this is reality. We have to be opened to FTs, if not our economy will shrink. Then jobs will become scarce. China is eating our lunch. They can do anything better, faster and cheaper than us.

You can set the rules. But the chances on the ground going around the rules is there

Food price is more and more expensive due to floor area...we are developing horizontally Vertically upsized smaller is the restriction and constraints

The issues with CECA have already attracted the attention of the government. However, it took such a long time to address it in parliament. I think it's getting serious. It is causing a whole host of problems, besides jobs going to CECA Indians. There are other issues such as cross-cultural clashes, naturalized citizenship, loyalty and patriotism ans so on.

Just only starting of Parliament speech already spend so much time praising PAP led government & it’s own work. Having CECA does not mean direct involvement to the successes that Ong mentioned. It is just a plot to make Singaporeans feel contented by his speech & slowly get distracted from main topic.

I proposals that Singapore can consider to improve its free trade agreements and CECA: • Include more stringent safeguards to protect Singapore businesses and workers. This could include measures such as requiring foreign companies to invest a certain amount of money in Singapore before they can hire local workers, or requiring foreign companies to transfer technology to local businesses. • Create a more robust dispute resolution mechanism. This would ensure that Singapore businesses have a fair and impartial way to challenge any decisions made by foreign governments that affect their operations.

Expand the scope of FTAs to cover more sectors. This would allow Singapore businesses to tap into new markets and create new opportunities for growth. • Negotiate FTAs with countries that are not traditional trading partners. This would help to diversify Singapore's trade and investment portfolio and reduce its reliance on any one market. • Invest in education and skills training. This would ensure that Singapore's workforce has the skills and knowledge they need to compete in the global economy. These are just a few ideas that Singapore can consider to improve its free trade agreements and CECA. By taking these steps, Singapore can continue to achieve new heights of growth in the world and become a more prosperous and resilient nation. Those are just personal idea should it be inappropriate or improper expression do apologise.

Quantity over quality. That’s my observation in Singapore over the years of experience. Go check any IT department of banks or companies that are filled with Indians. Pay attention I’m not saying FT. SG doesn’t have FT problem because most of Westerners come here work and go back other parts of the world. None of them brings their 2nd-3rd generation relatives here in SG and migrate permanently. By bringing low quality of IT workers from India, Singapore is hurting itself for the long term. Many of my senior westerner FT colleagues are leaving Singapore because of this bad job environment and because India managers only hire Indians, and specifically from their own region. They even discriminate between each other by North-South. So you imagine how SG business district will look like in near future…

In my opinion, Singapore is right to continue to negotiate FTAs. FTAs can help to boost trade and investment, which can lead to economic growth and job creation. However, Singapore also needs to be mindful of the concerns that have been raised about FTAs, and it needs to put in place measures to mitigate any negative impact. I believe that Singapore can continue to achieve new heights of growth in the world by continuing to negotiate FTAs, but by also doing so in a way that protects its businesses and workers. Singapore can also do this by investing in education and skills training, so that its workforce is well-equipped to compete in the global economy.

Moves such as the call for minimum/progressive wage need more steam, not just because borders are closed and we can't bring in cheap labour.

新加坡可以考虑改善其自由贸易协定和 CECA 的一些其他建议： • 采取更严格的保障措施来保护新加坡企业和工人。 这可能包括要求外国公司在新加坡投资一定金额才能雇用当地工人，或者要求外国公司向当地企业转让技术等措施。 • 创建更健全的争议解决机制。 这将确保新加坡企业能够以公平公正的方式质疑外国政府做出的影响其运营的任何决定。 • 扩大自由贸易协定的范围，涵盖更多部门。 这将使新加坡企业能够开拓新市场并创造新的增长机会。 • 与非传统贸易伙伴的国家谈判自由贸易协定。 这将有助于实现新加坡贸易和投资组合的多元化，并减少对任何一个市场的依赖。 • 投资于教育和技能培训。 这将确保新加坡的劳动力拥有在全球经济中竞争所需的技能和知识。 这些只是新加坡可以考虑改善其自由贸易协定和 CECA 的一些想法。 通过采取这些步骤，新加坡可以继续实现世界增长的新高度，成为一个更加繁荣和有弹性的国家。

Most people seem to focus on how many FT in a company but have anyone asked how many of us are working for MNCs?? I am working for one and as far as I can tell, majority of the well paid Singaporean are working in an MNCs. Even more working in jobs with SME that supply or sells to these MNCs. It is true that at the top level, there are more FT than Singaporean. But they are foreign companies that do have affiliation with their home country and naturally will have the tendency to file their top level with their nationals, not all though. You must be so naive if you think you can force MNCs to hire all Singaporean. I dare say no MNCs will even consider set up shop here if the barrier to hire foreigners is too high. Already I have heard many MNCs saying that Singapore has become less welcoming. Hinting the company might be better off going somewhere else. Is that what PSP wants?? It is a delicate balance given our vulnerability, especially with our tiny domestic market. We will not survive without FTA. The govt. can only help by setting some rules to help locals get hired but ultimately it is the company that chooses. If govt. set a too restrictive hiring requirements, it becomes a barrier for MNCs to set up business here and could even drive them out. Ultimately, the nett effects is less jobs to go around.

Conversely banks like Citi, SCB, even DBS have so many foreign talent across their ranks and I am sure it's not because of "affiliation with their home country". For one, DBS and Temasek have Singapore as their home country, do they not? The issue is that the trade deal we signed with India has let to unfavourable outcomes for our people. As a consequence we now face a problem of unemployment and growing underemployment, especially among our youth. The country can and should accommodate quality foreign talent at a reasonable quantum. The terms of the deal may have provided for the government to retain control over its immigration policy and borders, but clearly that control is not being exercised judiciously which results in the catastrophic labour market conditions we see today.

A MNC - With the robust international network can have the regional office in Singapore-if they need 3000 employees and promise to create 2500 jobs for Singapore. So they can ride on our intelligent and multi-lang Workforce and stable infrastruture. The other 500 - can access the regional office via the regional network and not people movement. Mr. Tan, But in 1996 - Chase had trim the Singapore ICT environment from a few hundred employees down to 48 to support their 2 Technology hubs - base in SG and HK and global connection to US and UK for region and global banking need - without any foreigner in the office. The bank was rank the world no. 1 after their merger and acquasition betw Chase and chemical. Such trimming and consolidation was done for POSB, DBS : Expand and M&A of some ASEAN Banks. IBM-AP internal consolidation is also completed. by local Singaporean without foreigner at site. Stringent Netw security and logic risk control. All MNC adopt lean and trim - to acheive effciencies via Technologies and engineering improvement. We are self sufficient. And our people are Top class which are most sort - after by big MNC. Why Play down Singaporean ( our only natural resources). When we are young Singaporean 1st G Gov. said we are the future of Singapore. So we excel. But our G4 Gov said - we depend on CECA to build the future of Singapore. (Totally - no logic).
