But u got sell any foreign products like china, Malaysia when there r Singapore product available?
Aros from indo or Malaysia farm instead of local farm?
(reasons why u decide to sell foreign product is not important)

U got served foreign client looking for property instead of local client?

Employ old and poor local (even they r physically or medically unfit) instead of abled bodied local staff or not?

Since 1997

so u hired locals @ "fair" wage..
the staff were highly motivated, low attrition/resignation rate and business were running better than similar and highly profitable?

so by now, you big boss, hiring many locals at "fair" wage?

Is this how we change mindsets and paradigm? Government keeps harping on low end FW and turning the squeeze on the supply.

Is the unhappiness of the majority really about low end FW like cleaners and construction workers? Now many are being brainwashed to accept and think they are doing something on FW.

I personally feel the main unhappiness is not about FW, but your so call FT, people they are letting in to sales coordinator jobs, field engineers, managerial post on S passes on the next stage of depressing the local's pay and opportunities.

I think we locals are amaze at the magnitude that FTs are engaged in almost all levels...from Cleaners, mid levels...to top levels.... and even garment agencies are employing FTs themselves.....

And now we are cheering our FT Players in the Olympics too be it swimming, badminton or TT....plus a Victory parade later on.... and the Buses will likely be driven by FT drivers.... so you see how much FTs are into our daily lives....

If they truly practice free trade..... Then why impose 3/4 tank rule on cars entering Malaysia.....they should let us pump petrol there since it's cheaper....until petrol price in Singapore falls to an acceptable level under market forces.......

I suspect, e termites collects about $1 per liter pumped. Just like cigs, each stick smokers light up, e termites bites into your wallet and takes away about $0.40/stick for those $11+ packs (my guess)

You are right.....me too will stay away from Ah Tiongs party after the Olympics....

The petrol excise duty in Singapore is set at a rate of $0.41 per litre for 92- and 95-octane petrol, and $0.44 per litre for petrol rated 97 octane and above. As with all other products, there is the additional seven per cent GST charge..... So if Singapore cars are allow to pump full in Malaysia....our garment will loose this income.....
