Netizen emails George Yeo to enquire about India asking Singapore to open job market for its “FTs”
A netizen Kojakbt has sent an email to Foreign Minister George Yeo to enquire about India’s recent call on Singapore to open up its job market to allow more Indian “FTs” to work there.
The shocking news made the headlines in the Economic Times of India a few days ago, but was not reported in the Singapore media (read more here)
An official from India’s Commerce Department told the Economic Times that India is trying to “take advantage” of the second review of the agreement to “get more in services and are exploring all possibilities.”
In addition to the medical, health-related and education sectors, India is asking to expand the existing list of 127 occupations by which Indian “FTs” are allowed entry into Singapore.
“The additional list has to include chefs, physiotherapists, nurses, school teachers, nutritionists, professionals in entertainment and hospitality sectors,” said Amit Mitra, another Indian official.
PAP leaders have always insisted that foreign workers are only employed in sectors “shunned” by Singaporeans such as the construction and marine industry.
Morever, India is now requesting Singapore to allow Indian “FTs” to take up jobs in its accountancy and hospitality sectors whose jobs are readily taken up by Singaporeans.
Without the government acting as a “gatekeeper” to moderate the inflow of foreigners, it is difficult for Singaporeans to compete directly with them as many are willing to accept a pay much lower than locals especially if they come alone without having to raise a family here.
Attached below is the full email from Kojakbt to George Yeo:

subject India exerts pressure on Singapore to accept more of its “Foreign Talents”
mailed-by gmail.comhide details 8:44 PM (0 minutes ago)
Dear George,
I read with dismay this news article from The Economic Times of India:
It stated that India has asked Singapore to open up more services to allow a greater number of Indian professionals to work in Singapore’s accountancy and hospitality sectors. This is currently being negotiated under a bilateral FTA between India and Singapore.
Besides requesting Singapore to take deeper commitments in medical, health-related and education services, it is reported that they also wanted to ask for expanding the existing list of 127 occupations by which professionals are allowed entry into Singapore. They wanted the additional list to include chefs, physiotherapists, nurses, school teachers, nutritionists, professionals in entertainment and hospitality sectors!
I would urge the Govt to think twice about opening up the Singapore’s market further in the way India is asking for. If this is implemented, it will have severe consequences to our already beleaguered PMETs. Many over 40s PMETs are slowly being pushed out by the cheaper and younger foreigners. Even the younger Singaporean professionals have a harder time getting a job these days. If you really care for Singaporeans, don’t let this happen.
By the way, even though this news wasn’t reported by our mainstream media, it has already been picked up by online sites such as Temasek Review. It’s making rounds in Singapore blogs and sites and most Singaporeans are not happy about it:
Yours sincerely,
Kojakbt

Pinoy professionals in Singapore outnumber maids
Contrary to public perception, Filipino professionals and highly skilled workers outnumber domestic helpers in Singapore.
President Aquino said many Filipinos in Singapore work as accountants, financial managers and advisers.
“There has been a transformation on the composition of our OFWs here,” he told Manila-based reporters in an informal gathering at the Shangri-La hotel Thursday.
“Many professonals have come here. We have a lot of engineers, a lot of them women.”
Aquino ended his productive three-day state visit here yesterday.
Of the 177,600 Filipinos in Singapore, a sizeable number, or 106,600 are professionals, while the remaining 71,000 are domestic helpers, according to data from the Philippine embassy.
Presidential Communications Secretary Herminio Coloma said problems regarding domestic helpers are “adequately” addressed by the embassy, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) and the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE).
“No major concerns… that’s not being handled adequately by the embassy, DFA and DOLE,” he said.
“And I think the most significant fact is, the balance is now in favor of more professionals and highly skilled workers. So, in general, the problems have become less in number and in magnitude.”
“No complaints so far. The ambassador (Minda Calaguian-Cruz) also didn’t mention anything. Their Trade Union Congress is a very strong entity here,” Aquino said.
“I would assume that they would also be informed of their rights. So, until I see proof to the contrary I would have to presume that things are all right here.”
Coloma said the condition of Filipinos working in Singapore has improved tremendously as a result of the continuing cooperation between the two countries.
Coloma said around 108 Filipino associations are operating in Singapore, including the bayanihan centers.
“This is being sustained by the two countries, the Philippine and Singaporean governments,” he said.
“And I think this is the reason why there is a significant drop in the problems of OFWs in Singapore.”
Aquino thanked Singapore President S.R. Nathan and his people for the excellent arrangements during his visit.
“I am grateful for the support you have extended my nation – in the form of investments that have generated jobs for my countrymen and of enhancement capability programs undertaken in the spirit of solidarity,” he said.
Aquino also thanked the Singapore government for hosting the more than 177,000 overseas Filipino workers during a speech at the state banquet hosted by Nathan.
“Drive toward progress was fueled by the desire to empower your people so that they may live better lives,” he told Nathan.
“I spent the past day seeing this first-hand: how a people so diverse were able to unite under one vision and one banner; how an island a little more than 700 square kilometers was transformed into a hub of culture and enterprise in the region, if not the world.”
Aquino said every Singaporean has been empowered to fulfill his or her potential.
“I believe that the same potential holds true for my own people,” he said.
“You made me realize what we can someday achieve.”
He was grateful to the Singapore government for the example of what can be achieved, Aquino said.

Hong Kong - Overview of economy
During the first Opium War (1839-43), the British government colonized Hong Kong in 1841. Over time it established a free-enterprise economy in the colony and turned it into a trading center in Asia. Hong Kong has retained these characteristics since its hand-over to China in 1997, as stipulated in the 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration on the transfer of Hong Kong's sovereignty to China. Accordingly, the Chinese government guaranteed that it would preserve Hong Kong's capitalist economy and its political and social systems for at least 50 years. This commitment was justified under the Chinese formula of "one country, two systems," which allowed for the coexistence of a capitalist Hong Kong with thsocialist mainland China as 2 parts of 1 single country. The Chinese government also guaranteed that it would not intervene in the internal affairs of Hong Kong, and would let its government function independently in all its internal affairs, including economic policies. The Chinese central government in Beijing is in charge only of Hong Kong's foreign and defense issues. China's official acceptance of Hong Kong's mini constitution, the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, consolidated this arrangement when China's National People's Congress passed it in 1990. The latter guarantees free trade, free enterprise, and low taxes for at least 50 years.
Much of the anxiety of the pre-1997 period has proven to be baseless. China has kept its promise and Hong Kong continues to be a bastion of free enterprise. The territory has retained all its colonial financial and monetary policies and laws, including those regarding its currency, the free flow of capital into and out of its territory, and taxation. It uses its own currency, the Hong Kong dollar, and keeps its revenues for its own needs. Its government does not pay any tax to the Chinese central government. The hand-over has not changed Hong Kong's economy, but the post-1997 period has had at least 2 major impacts on it. First, this period has consolidated a change in the economy that began in the early 1980s. This was the transfer of large, sophisticated, and labor-intensive industries from Hong Kong to mainland China where there is no scarcity of land and raw material and where labor is significantly cheaper. As a result, existing manufacturing in Hong Kong mainly focuses on the necessary activities for the re-export of goods produced by Hong Kong enterprises in China. Being the largest economic sector even prior to 1997, Hong Kong's service sector has since grown significantly in the fields of trade and transportation. This was done to meet the increasing demand for re-exporting and to absorb the loss of jobs in the manufacturing sector. Second, there has been a growing interest in 2 new industries: high-tech and information technology (IT). This is a positive move towards the broadening of the service-dominated economy of Hong Kong. IT activities have also created new types of employment opportunities, most of which cannot be filled immediately due to a lack of skilled workers. Consequently, there were 18,400 vacant IT positions in 2000. The root cause of this problem is that those who have lost their jobs in other sectors (e.g. manufacturing) are either unskilled or have skills that are not in demand. The Hong Kong government has addressed this issue by increasing its spending on retraining programs by 5.4 percent in 1997-98, 11.8 percent in 1999-2000, and 42.8 percent in 2000-01.
Like many other Asian economies, the Hong Kong economy suffered from the financial crisis of the late 1990s. However, unlike most of them, it was able to cope with the crisis with tolerable losses and begin recovery in 1999. Its large service sector has been given credit for the economy's ability to recover. This sector has been the reason for a constant balance-of-payment surplus since 1997. In that year, Hong Kong had a balance-of-payment deficit of US$6.159 billion (equal to 3.6 percent of its GDP). However, it enjoyed 2 consecutive balance-of-payment surplus years of US$2.902 billion (equal to 1.8 percent of its GDP) and US$9.285 billion (equal to 5.8 percent of GDP) in 1998 and 1999, respectively. Figures for 2000 are not yet available, but there are indications of a surplus for that year as well. Unlike other Asian countries fallen victim to the 1997-98 financial crisis, Hong Kong's external debt has remained small in comparison to its available finances. For example, its total foreign debt was US$48.7 billion in 1998, US$53.5 billion in 1999, and US$56.5 billion in 2000 while its foreign exchange reserves were US$89.601 billion, US$92.236 billion, and US$97.218 billion, respectively. The crisis slowed down the economy temporarily, as reflected in a large drop in its GDP growth rate from 5 percent in 1997 to-5.1 percent in 1998. However, it did not lead to widespread closures of industries and companies or massive unemployment as experienced in Indonesia and Malaysia, for instance. The economy began to recover in 1999 and 2000 when the GDP growth rates jumped to 3 percent and 9.7 percent, respectively. Additionally, its unemployment rate reached the record high of 6.2 percent in 1999, only to drop to about 5 percent in 2000 despite the continued relocation of the manufacturing jobs to mainland China.
Geography and size impose certain limits on the economic activities that Hong Kong can undertake, but they also open opportunities for its economic growth. Maintaining extensive ties with China has been an imperative for the survival of this small territory, which has no mineral and water resources and lacks an adequate agriculture sector to meet its essential private and commercial needs. Being connected to China via land, Hong Kong has depended on its only neighbor for raw materials, food, and water. Its small size and acute scarcity of land also lead Hong Kong to look to China for the establishment of large and labor-intensive manufacturing establishments. This has been a blessing in disguise as China's low wages significantly reduce the cost of production of its exports and make them more competitive in international markets. Reliance on China has also helped Hong Kong penetrate the huge and growing Chinese market, the largest in the world and to which many developed economies are trying so hard to gain access. Not only are Hong Kong businesses interested in China, but the Chinese government also encourages extensive ties with Hong Kong, its reunified territory. Expanding economic ties with China also helps Hong Kong tolerate losses in its economic transactions elsewhere.
The service sector dominates Hong Kong's economy. This is the result of the territory's limited opportunities for agricultural and industrial activities on the one hand, and the interest of the British colonizers to develop it as a trading center on the other. Being the engine of economic growth, the service sector is the largest employer and the largest contributor to Hong Kong's GDP (84.7 percent in 1998). The major services are trade, financial services (e.g., banking and insurance), tourism, retail , and real estate. Trade has been the heart of Hong Kong's economy. The service sector has been growing steadily over the last few decades under British and Chinese rule alike.
Agriculture is negligible as a source of employment or revenue and makes only a miniscule contribution to GDP (0.1 percent in 1998). The scarcity of arable land leaves very limited opportunity for agricultural activities. Hong Kong is heavily dependent on agricultural imports.
Industry is a significant sector, but is mainly geared to the re-export of goods produced in China. This sector is small, accounting for 15.2 percent of GDP in 1998. Thanks to a lack of minerals, there is no mining industry of any significance. There is a small utility (water, gas, and electricity) industry, a relatively significant construction industry, and a more important export-oriented manufacturing sector. As a small territory with limited land and a very large population, Hong Kong cannot support heavy industries, which are land-intensive by nature. Nor can it have large labor-intensive industries. Besides low wages and an abundance of resources in China, space has been the main reason for the relocation of Hong Kong's large and labor-intensive industries to that country. The remaining industries of Hong Kong are small-scale establishments, which employ small numbers of workers. Garment production has been the leading component of the manufacturing sector for decades, but Hong Kong has other marketable products—mainly light and consumer goods such as footwear, toys, and plastics. Manufacturing lacks a significant high-tech segment, but has a viable electronics branch in need of development.

Nonsense.
If there are too many opposition MPs complaining about GST hikes, over crowding everywhere, transport fare hikes, low paying jobs, expensive public housing, high minister salaries, parliament will become a place bustling with lots of hot noisy debates and discussions.
You want to disturb those ministers taking their naps is it?

Hong Kong Housing Authority gives around 50% discount rate for public housing.
In Phase 19C, the Housing Authority introduced a new flexible discount rate system, allowing successful applicants to choose from three discount rates equivalent to 10% above or below the base discount rate apart from the existing 50% discount on full market value at the time of price fixing. During application, the potential buyers were also asked about their preference on the discount options. Almost 50% of the applicants responded to the question, amongst which 76% chose 10% above the base discount rate (60% off), 18% chose base discount rate (50% off) and 6% chose 10% below the base discount rate (40% off).
