Can employ 100% foreigners? For example, a company in the service sector may still be able to employ 100 per cent non-Singaporeans as follows: 15% S-Pass 25% work permit 60% PRs/foreign spouses on long-term visit pass with a letter of consent (to work)/foreign university interns/foreign students studying in Singapore (all these categories have no limits and are also not counted in foreign worker quota) S-Pass is the main problem? Arguably, it may be the S-Pass which is the biggest problem for Singaporean workers, particularly PMETs, because these are generally the type of jobs paying at l east $2,200 that many Singaporeans want. Squeezing S’poreans in the middle? If I may use an analogy – it may be akin to tightening the screws in both sides, but allowing the middle to expand – to the chagrin of Singaporeans and further depressing our wages.
