Wanted: Foreign Workers in Singapore
« on: July 17, 2010, 09:13:18 PM »
Singapore will need 100,000 new foreign workers this year to keep on track an economy enjoying a stunning rebound, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said in remarks published Thursday.

Rich but worker-starved Singapore has historically rolled out the welcome mat for foreigners, whose numbers rose dramatically in the boom of 2004-2007.

But with one in three of the five million people living on the tiny island now a foreigner and citizens complaining about competition for jobs, housing and medical care, the government has been looking anew at its open-door policy.

Nonetheless Lee said the need for more overseas labor was unavoidable despite efforts to slow the influx after complaints from citizens facing tougher jobs competition during last year's recession.

"If we don't allow the foreign workers in, you are going to have overheating," the Straits Times quoted him as telling Singaporean media during an ongoing visit to the United States.

On Wednesday the trade and industry ministry sharply upgraded its forecast for economic growth this year to 13-15 percent from 7.0-9.0 percent.

That could make Singapore the world's fastest growing economy this year, according to economists. - Agence France Presse

As far as i knw, daghan man gihapon ang na-A2A (airport to airport) mostly mga babaye. Tinuod tngali nga naa hiring pero daghan sad ang naa ngari nga mga job hunters. Mura daghan sad opening karon for universal studios ug sa ilang casino.

kinsa ganahan mahimong mascot diha?  ;D puli ni shrek.  ::)

FYI lang sad, naa ra ba daghan mga agency sa cebu nga mangulekta ug bayad for work permit processing daw so careful lang mo kay daghan ra baya gipang-reject nga mga application karon. naa gani usa ka agency somewhere in mandaue nga ilang gi-reklamo sa POEA kay wala gipang-uli ang mga bayad after gi-reject ang ilang application sa work permit.

Para sa mga interested better check ninyo ang site sa Ministry Of Manpower for details.
