It has allow me to gain insights on this future phenomenon which I felt that we should all be aware of since we live in Singapore. Not to deny, there are bound to be comments that we might not like to hear but there are also comments addressing the doubts that we have. We should be glad that the government is finally addressing this problem and not taking as though it does not exist at all. It is impossible to please everyone but we can at least allow most people to gain an insights over the topic addressed over the show.

All the ministers has shared and give detailed information and sharing on the foreign talent issues that has been happening for quite a while. Smoothing out the rough edges of this problem is tough and is nice to hear this problem being bought up to be discuss in the show so that we know and understand better, regardless of from our perspective or from the government’s perspective. This is a great talk show to let us understand the direction the government is taking and carrying out.

And come to think it, yes that is very true. People complain and spread negativity about foreign talents in Singapore, probably because of 1 or 2 incidents that happened. But neglecting the other 8,9 positive things that they did too. We have got to stop this bias-ness, and not let one black sheep affect our judgement. <br /> <br />Economically, we do need foreign talents to come in and support. But it takes 2 hands to clap, and it takes both parties (foreigners and locals) to make the effort to work things out. Rather than blindly complain and slam anything and everything we see online, I would rather try to understand the situation now. And I think this show is a good platform for viewers to have a better understanding. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-67203037934377901212015-06-03T13:37:58.001+08:002015-06-03T13:37:58.001+08:00I am actually kind of surprised on how open the go...I am actually kind of surprised on how open the government is this time round, talking about foreign talent issue openly on national tv. I think this is a good approach, to be able to voice out our concerns, and be sure that the government gets to listen and have a better understanding on the problems. The show also covered some issues regarding our doubts, and it is good to know what kind of approach the government is taking.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-61434184394222617932015-06-03T13:34:44.274+08:002015-06-03T13:34:44.274+08:00We should really have more of this kind of talk sh...We should really have more of this kind of talk show to talk about current issues so that we can better understand what are the problem the government or the country is facing right now and understand the different perspective on the current social issues from speakers of all walks of life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-61304909086319871542015-06-03T13:29:21.979+08:002015-06-03T13:29:21.979+08:00The foreign talent issues may be going on for a wh...The foreign talent issues may be going on for a while but is good that this show address this topic even more in-depth so that we can better understand and identify this issue even clearer.Hope this show can reach out to many more others in SingaporeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-30259642417249363752015-06-03T13:13:57.573+08:002015-06-03T13:13:57.573+08:00I am not a fan of talk shows, not to mention a sho...I am not a fan of talk shows, not to mention a show that seemed like a propaganda move from the government. But as I started watching, it kind of made me watch further. Some of the points that was mentioned in the show, I do have to agree on. There have been so many issues, complains, grumbling & negative feedbacks about foreigners in Singapore in the recent years. I have also read many negative and even rude comments on social media. It is good that they are open to discuss these issues on national tv, and the govt is actually listening too. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-41732371713260455032015-06-03T13:08:39.252+08:002015-06-03T13:08:39.252+08:00This is a great and in-depth show that reflects ou...This is a great and in-depth show that reflects our society nowadays and addresses deeply of many current issues the country is facing now.

What do y...What we have is a sharecropper economy. What do you expect when the supposedly founding fathers worked for the invading Japanese who massacred locals and to this day feel proud about it. If selling out is a successful biz model, why not expand the concept when building a nation? Or rather, selling out a young nation's vitality piecemeal and than wholesale when the writing is on the wall.<br /><br />Therefore train your kids to be rote learning automatons, preferably with small hands that can weld printed circuit boards non stop in Jurong. Make sure they learn English first rather than their mother tongues, so that the foreign MNC can utilize this "tamed, well trained" workforce. When that strategy is outdone in Malaysia build malls on every inch of land, raise rents on the tenants, and then import foreigners in the hope the increased footfall can support their rents. When rents get to high and the shop keeper fails, switch the tax system to one based on a sales tax, so income tax rate for the rich can come down and we can thus attract tax evading globe trotters to settle in Sentosa.<br /><br />As for the Casinos, even a small town like Macau realizes that it needs to keep the high paying jobs for locals and utilize the gaming royalties to provide cheap healthcare. If we have to make $ with sin, the people who are impacted must benefit. Is this basic principle hard to understand? I wonder who keeps the rich royalties from our Gaming revenues that we have to implement Medishield Life, which is really a tax increase.<br /><br />And off course we lack talent, I mean at the top. Setting up a casino is the recourse of the weak minded. Those who lack imagination resort only to Sin. What do the moralists that criticized Amos' upbringing think about Gambling? Again, the silence is deafenning. I mean this is corrupting and bankrupting you society on a big scale, don't you have something to add? Do you want your children to be card dealers or software engineers?<br /><br />For all their combined brains and leadership qualities is importing population, real estate and gaming the only solution you can think of for an obviously uncompetitive nation?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-80853957674720204182015-05-22T21:31:11.882+08:002015-05-22T21:31:11.882+08:00I guess this explains why "Salaries are being...I guess this explains why "Salaries are being compressed", and who goes laughing to the bank while the slaves squabble over the scraps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-63362574419484370942015-05-22T20:42:22.773+08:002015-05-22T20:42:22.773+08:005/22/2015 5:50 PM
