I believe the system in Singapore, and the situation it has evolved to is caused at the root by the government flawed policies such as failure to protect key positions for Singaporeans in key industries. We very badly need a “Singaporeanization” policy. Only now the labour minister is mentioning the need for a “local talent pipeline”, when it should have been the case all along! And the government, as the major employer in Singapore really doesn’t have any excuse to fill government agencies and semi-government organisatons with FTs to cut labour costs and increase shareholder value. The government’s capitalist AGENDA is not aligned, and not meant to align with the labour’s cause. And the union? Don’t even get me started… As you know 99% of the time, and in my own experience, its not what you know, its who you know, for getting recruited and landing a job. - See more at: transitioning.org/2013/12/01/our-pmet-in-qatar-key-headhunters-in-singapore-are-fts-hr-interviewers-are-fts-so-they-tend-to-favour-their-own-kind/#sthash.Fm8lAsKw.mUFT0Myw.dpuf
