Singaporean workers: Vote to protect your jobs and vote to implement minimum wage!

Brothers and sisters, have you ever seen someone who lose their job, or maybe it has happened to you because of the following reasons:
1) Your company engages an external company to bring in cheap foreigners from other countries
2) You get replaced because they hired a cheaper worker, to do your job
3) You see a foreign hiring manager, hiring his native people for the jobs that Singaporeans can do
4) Fake degrees and fake birth certification
5) A Government that boost the GDP, by allowing foreigners to depress your wages.
Well, I am sure there’s more, but with every single foreign worker that we see in Singapore, a job is taken away from the Singaporean, many will start to wonder why and what happened.

Well you see, if our PAP government opens the flood gates to welcome companies to hire foreigners with no restrictions, then the only victim who will be forced into early retirement would be the Singaporean.
“Restriction” would mean, the job nature or scope of work is so unique that the employer could not find a Singaporean with that skill set, then it’s only fair to hire a foreigner for that job, but if you look around your work place, do you think those jobs cannot be filled by a Singaporean citizen?
The PAP government seems to think so, that’s why they label them as foreign talents, if the PAP government views these as “talents”, than we should ask the government what happened to our educational system, it’s so bad that no employers want to hire Singaporeans ?
To be honest I do not think it has anything to do with our education system, because we were all hired once upon a time, before the cheap import of foreigners flooded Singapore.
The hard truths is that foreigners are hired because they are cheaper, that’s the real truth, the PAP did not have the Singaporean first mindset and no proper controls in place to ensure that most jobs went to Singaporeans first, unless that skill set cannot be found in a Singaporean.
This is the reason why most Singaporeans are either jobless, have their wages depressed, or are on the brink of losing their job, because an external recruitment is going to mass import cheap labor to replace you.
This election Singaporeans have to vote for their job security and minimum wage as it is a priority in life especially if you have a family to care for.
The minimum wage is a safety net that most first world countries and developed countries adopt, the minimum wage is pegged to the standard of living in that country to ensure all workers/Singaporeans are protected and no worker/Singaporean is exploited by the employer.
An example is that any worker/Singaporean working as a janitor or trash collector will get the standard wage and no less and this wage CANNOT fall below the standard of living in Singapore.
With minimum wage, Singaporeans do not have to accept any form of “inflated subsidy” from the PAP government.
Singaporeans its time you think about yourself and your future, don’t fall for the same old trap of getting handouts from the PAP, because when that is done, the cost of living will go up again and again later as we have seen so many times before.
In this election, vote for the opposition to protect your job, and to have the minimum wage implemented.
A vote for the opposition is a vote for you and me!
