20110501c Manufacturing Must Stay?

Manufacturing Must Stay? It is said that Manufacturing is job creation, has less fluctuation, and therefore is important for Singapore economy. First everyone knows Manufacturing do create huge number of jobs. But Manufacturing required longer and bigger capital investment, subjected to market uncertainties and rapid obsolescence. There are many manufacturing industries, cassette, TV Tube, eliminated from the scene over the last decade. Seasonal, product cycles fluctuation is drastic, many cannot be predicted, mostly beyond our control. Venice, Rome rely on tourism for centuries, how few factories survive a centuries?

20110501b Who Foot the NWC Increase

20110501b Who Foot the NWC  Increase I read there will be a big NWC wage increase yesterday. Who foot this increment? Government, Employer, or employee themselves? If we need employers, was there a group thinking, discussions with Employers? We need cheap foreign labors to work, can this increment Employer affordable? If employers not willing to pay, then where is Government taking the money to pay this increament? Otherwise, this is to be foot by Employees. Our old folks are getting lesser pay than foreign labors who work 12 or more hours for 1 rest day in two weeks! Has our MOM, Ministry of Law enforced on foreign labor maximum working hours? Have they concern about the industrial accident, death caused by over-exhaustion ? Have these not happen already? We shall talk about Manufacturing

20110501a Wrong Perception on Minority

20110501a  Wrong Perception on Minority It is shocking Standing errors are not corrected by visible change in policies, effecting corrective actions. More, bigger wrong judgment are allowed to be made, made faster. If a person made fundamental errors on what is clear facts in front of us, the friendly hands extended by our Malay, Islamic brothers and sisters,  How could he comprehend, respect realities that are more complex, abstract ? Minority Representation If important social element is wrongly perceived and is admitted to be wrong. How could no corrective, major corrective actions be taken on all policies, including immigration policies ! The first opposition MP is actually not a Chinese, he is Jeyaratnam. Was he not a minority? When he was resonating with the people, did Singaporean rejected him? How could one be so short memory? How could one merely record what he likes and reject every good blessing on Singapore. How could one ignore the blessing ...

This happens in some first-world countries." Carefully thinking Shanmugam as a great litigator, i think he is not referring to the opposition.
