On Sunday evening, the country's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong highlighted these issues in his National Day speech.
Like other governments in the region, Singapore has at times during the pandemic had different border rules for its citizens and foreign residents. There is already some evidence to suggest that these policies are having an impact on the number of foreign workers in Singapore. Federico Donato, President of the European Chamber of Commerce, said parts of this workforce are vital for Singapore's development:
"Countries everywhere face the same concerns about whether foreigners are taking over jobs and opportunities for locals, whether you might result in higher income and wealth inequalities, whether there will be unfair hiring practices, these are not unique to Singapore," the country's Finance Minister Lawrence Wong told the BBC just days before the Prime Minister's speech.Simon Hayes is an executive recruiter at Andrews Partnership in Singapore.
Singapore does welcome expats. IMHO, Low income population is still too much who feel like they are left far behind economic growth and fierce competition, like it’s very common in Chinese background companys to work OT like 996 for example Bytedance and Ants Finance in Singapore
So family’s tolerance level is very low…..
No no we welcome you..seriously. really. Haha.
