KF Seetoh says it’s ‘almost too late to help’ SMEs and smaller businesses in F&B industry

KF Seetoh took to social media on Thursday to talk about the dire labour situation that was affecting many SMEs and small businesses in the Food & Beverage industry.

“In truth, these jobs are great for people in the region, who naturally has a service culture in their professional DNA. But they are not allowed to be hired because it seem to be reserved for Singaporeans, who shun such fair paying jobs. Think, it’s a quota of up to 9 to 1 ”, Mr Seetoh wrote. Mr Seetoh called foreigners who were already in Singapore “opportunist and at worst, job hopping mercenaries” without any loyalty or dedication.

Mr Seetoh noted that for hawkers in public hawker centres, things were worse as they were not allowed to hire foreigners at all. “Many hawkers and hirers in the SME, especially the F&B industry, are burying their head in fear that they cannot get enough staff to take advantage of the impending post -covid flood of business from locals and tourist alike”, Mr Seetoh wrote.
