If their intent is to increase their pool of supporters for future GE....then they will find means and ways to justify the cause....

For now, I'm not sure how they gauge and approve.
Yes that what I knew when I work in production. No qualification PR can only be given if you work more then 7 yrs. At that time only Malaysia get PR easiler. Not sure about now

I know of some company that employs workers on "contract" basis, so every year or two years, just renew the contract. But when reporting to head office, "staff" strength is still very lean, & within guidelines.
Is that legal under MOM? I don't think so unless they "contract" the staff from another company. Then maybe can part as outsource and not as headcount

don't know it is legal or not.

But it is a common practise

Contract worker is not consider as headcount.

There are 2 type of contract worker
Contract worker under the company
OR
contract worker under other company aka outsource

NTUC Fairprice Director clarify on this issue.
Only 10% of total staffs are foreigners (excluding PR).
Zhun bor??




http://temasektimes.wordpress.com/20...uding-new-prs/

Following our exposure of NTUC FairPrice supermarket chain of organizing job fairs in China to mass recruit cashiers and storekeepers, NTUC was forced to issue a ‘clarification’ via the state media that only a ‘minority’ of its staff are foreigners.

In an article published in the papers last week, NTUC FairPrice director of human resource Rebecca Teo said only 10 percent of its staff are from overseas.

She added that there is a ‘need’ to hire foreign workers from China and Malaysia because of a ‘labor crunch.’ However, she did not reveal the percentage of Singapore PRs and new citizens among the 90 percent who are ‘locals’.

Under Singapore’s labor laws, companies need to maintain a quota of ‘locals’ before they can hire foreigners. Both Singapore citizens and PRs are lumped under the same category of ‘locals’ which provide a loophole for companies to exploit by ‘fast-converting’ foreigners to PRs so as to free up more ‘slots’ for them to hire more foreigners.

The Assistant Manager (Corporate Communications) of NTUC Fairprice, Mr Winston Ng had earlier written to us explaining that it has always been a policy of NTUC FairPrice to hire Singaporeans ‘first’.

Attached below is a recruitment ad put up by NTUC FairPrice in China:
