These foreign talents are not brought in to close any gaps or supplement our talent pool but it had already been revealed time and again to supplant our local talents with foreign talents with qualifications of dubious or even lesser standing. These are also certainly neither industry leaders nor movers. As such, these are really foreigners imported merely to displace junior - mid level PMET Singaporeans and not contributing to creation new job opportunities for the locals. <br />As the loss of PMET jobs to Singaporeans may in reality be significant and even trending upwards, this sorry state of affair has since become critical enough so much so that the government can't help but sound the warning bell on looming unemployment problem for our educated professionals. Apart from banking and IT sectors long invaded by foreigners, the law profession was announced to be suffering the same fate and prospective graduting JC students were warned to stay away from it. It was also reported recently that the government had also agreed to grant free admission of Indian nationals into accountancy, medicine and healthcare professions too. Fearing this long term consequence of unfulfilled aspirations of our tertiary educated Singaporeans may turn into an ugly macro problem with serious industrial strife and political instability implications , the government desperate at nipping this in the bud cannot but raise the ante by openly and blatantly appealing to the masses to forgo university education and go down the vocational route.<br />On the other hand, Michael Y.P. Ang, a Singaporean freelance journalist, has also correctly pointed out that it is silly for those who point the finger at immigrants (skilled workers from the West and low-cost labourers from the Indian subcontinent, China or ASEAN) for causing Singaporeans' lack of employment or underemployment and overcrowded public transportation. <br /><br />Immigrants are drawn to Singapore because we offer them what they cannot find back home, even in Western countries with 'greener pastures'. Don't blame them for doing what is a very human thing to do. Immigrants are allowed to work and live on our island because of the PAP's liberal immigration policy. <br /><br />In short, there is simply no denying that this tend of systematic undermining of employment propsects for our indigenous Singaporean will continue to premeate our evey remaining PMET job types may very be a grim reality don't bear thinking about. This explains squarely why the current PAP team failed miserably to rally many Singaporeans behind them. Regardless of how sound the strategy of gunning for highest short term economic growth exclusively is, the local populace who are unemployed due to the ultra liberal immigration policy, suffering the full brunt of rising costs and dejected would naturally seek the alternative. <br /> <br />Thus, the slip in popularity shall prevail so long as the present PAP government persist in failing to fathom how their obsession with quick fix economic growth policies had heighten bread and butter fears among Singaporeans. <br />However, can Mr Nair or anyone why there still so may apparently high educated Singaporeans that can continue to justify and support the PAP self destructive action of alienating indigenous Singaporeans please?
