Being cheaper to emply because of exemption from CPF is not a "talent". Singapore is a country, not a company. Priority should be given to citizens like in other countries in eductation and for jobs. Singaporeans First. Always. Moreover, Singapore will have more talent if the % of each cohort that can have a local university education is not limited to a small minority. Uniquely Singapore. It is a knowledge based global economy. Singapore needs more local graduates even if they are a threat to political dominance of the ruling party.
我记得小时候窮没钱陈博士免费替我看診。回想起来跟您说声谢谢谢。祝您一生平安事事顺心如意。
For any foriegner or local company, the Human Resources Dept should be a Singaporean.
Time n again majority of being rejected for employment due to what we called it Question Reason or Reasons. The Rest is up to invidually to source for the answer by yourself. This is my opinion only. I welcome your feed back too. Tq.
Dr Tan 是正直善良医生 不花言巧语 他感受到劣势群体的伤 悲 痛。
This reconfirms my belief that Dr Tan Cheng Bock is the man for the job. He takes a balanced, common sense approach.
Feel amazed that Dr Tan had raised this back in 1999
"Investors take careful note of our attitude towards foreign talent. In March this year, when the issue was raised in Parliament, we had a spirited debate. The International Herald Tribune reported it in a front page story [30 Mar]. It said that Singapore had always had a policy of welcoming foreigners, since the time of Stamford Raffles, until today, when rising unemployment prompted more Singaporeans to demand protection against foreign competition. It reported that Dr Tan Cheng Bock had raised the matter, and reflected what it called "a view that has found significant support among Singaporeans". It also quoted what Lee Hsien Loong, George Yeo and I had said in response, defending the Government's position. So IHT readers knew that the Singapore Government had not shifted its position.
Tan Cheng Bock has clarified with me that he had been misunderstood. He said that he was not against the import of foreign talent. He was only against our harping on it, especially during a recession, as this would cause us political problems."

foreign talent is pure gold, singapore doesn’t deserve it. america was greedily swiping any talent it comes across and putting it to good use. sg can continue screaming “ang mo go away” to the benefit of other countries.
Worse still, these foreigners are given PR status and citizenship.
Its totally unnecessary.
They should be allowed to work as long as the organisation needs them and go back to their homeland after their contract.
Many China nationals who cant even speak english have become pr's and citizens.
Singaporeans are slowly loosing their place in this country
In the issue, Dr Tan is absolutely correct.
I came to know about Citi bank hiring practices a few years ago, to my sympathy for the local Singaporeans.
He is my hero
Our government creating more jobs for foreigners especially for Malaysians. They behind our back, criticise our country but yet come over to our country to get better opportunities better salary. In my company many Malaysians are promoted to higher positions, leaving Singaporean to take instructions from a Foreigners with Work Permit holder. For male Singaporean we served NS, yet a lot of us is overlooked by the company when it comes to upgrading and promotion. Singapore company following Singapore government leads of taking care of foreigners.
What is so wrong about it? Is FT in SG to support/compliment us or to replace us?
THIS VIDEO HAS SWAYED MY VOTE TOWARDS DOCTOR TAN CHING BOCK.
Dr Tan, please come out. We shall vote you in ! You have my family members support!
Dr Tan, accept it. They are making a big mockery of our two national Singapore's Universities of not matching up to the world's international standards. Then, all the while the educational standards must be one 'hell of a bull shitter'. Lousy lecturers get lousy graduates. Yet, you find so hard to gain admission into these universities. In conclusion, 'money speaks louder than words'.
Actually felt sorry for George after GE2011, but now I feel that he bloody deserves it. Had the nerve to promise FT policy reviews during his rally speeches... he was the short sighted one that allow these foreign idiots in... Hope George Yeo rots in political exile forever... Serves him right to lose in Aljunied.
My regret is that you do not get enough votes to be the President.
Indeed ... this man is a good person... ..2019 akan datang
FT is good for the country. The only problem is we need to create more jobs that are good for Singaporeans and have good pay. Can Singaporean play their part, from my Singaporean observations, we are not hungry enough and work harder than FT so how. These problems can not be solved overnight but allow the market forces to determine the capacities of Singaporean ethos. Singaporean must wake up to the world market. The world does not owe you a living. Fight for your place in the market.
This was 8 years ago ? Wah ...
DAMN Touched for what you have done ! Dr Tan Cheng Bock you're IN. You got my Vote and my family's.
Dr Tan. Even though im not yet of legal age to vote now, but i sincerely hope that you would win this election. I personally felt that the other 3 candidates are somehow, insincere and didnt spoke out what i most feared of, Singapore being flooded by Foreigners.
Dr Tan, You're a treasure to Singaporeans. I read from The ST Discussion Board that a commentator who called himself PR FIRST CLASS ' SHOT' SINGAPOREANS down that we were nothing without them! Please read those comments.
All these talk on Foreign Talents make them feel upshots among us. Where is our status as Singaporeans?
I want my CPF money when I’m 55 years old.
I am so touched by the speech here. It resonates 100% of what i have been thinking all along.
We need foreigners in order to sustain our population and maintain a healthy workforce and dependents ratio. We need foreigners to do the jobs that Singaporeans are not willing to do. We also need foreigners to share their expertise on areas that we need help in.
Foreigners drive our population up and our prices of houses and cars sky high. They flood our shopping centres, MRTs and buses. How do we strike the right balance? We're limited by our land and resources. Perhaps I should migrate.
Singaporean first ! Mr Tan c b , U are my first choice to vote for president !
There are still many ways we can help Singaporean to be better but I don't see the effort. I have one Singaporean ex engineers. He trains scholars who were in Industrial attachments. After he got retrenched in his late fifties , tried to find jobs all turn him down...Drop his expectation from Engineer post to Technician, no one takes him and he felt betray by his government because of the foreigners that compete with him for the job. Finally he drove a cab. He has many friends, engineers, managers in similar situation and now drive a cab for living. All the years in Poly, universities and working experience go down the drain. Why can't the Government set up an institution to allow this people teach and mentor our young Singaporean?

The problem is with the employer, at late 50s he still has 10 more years to go but the employer would rather hire someone who can go for 50 years more. That is the shortsightedness of the employer, they think that a employee will stay in a company for 50 years.
The answer is to work with the employer to not fire old people. If company fire people as and when they like and government just build a net to catch them then the company will fire even younger employee to replace them with even younger employee.
George Yeo took the foreigner side, that’s why he’s out now...😂
Not exactly, the political agreement between Singapore & Malaysia is a foreign minister must be always be a non-Chinese. So, to get him out as a Singapore Chinese foreign minister, make him stand for election in Hougang-Aljunied GRC and he lost the ministerial post. Here is a brief history of Singapore's foreign affair...S. Rajaratnam, Danabalan, Jayakumar, George Yeo? Then, the saga continues, when George Yeo lost the election is back to square one. He is replaced by K. Shamugan then Vivian Balakrishnan currently. What will they think of next?
It has always been the foriners for them . And we are 2nd.
Then, something is definitely wrong with our universities namely NUS and NTU have yet to reach 'world's class'. "Good, Better, Best!" losing out to all the rest. Stop bragging, for God's sake.
No govt in the world will favour foreigners over its own citizens in local employment. The crux of the matter is whether the system used by the govt to ensure preference is given to local is effectively implemented. Those who really concern about the matter should get their MP to find out what methods used by govt to implement Singaporean first and whether the enforcement is effectively carried out. Cursing and swearing in the internet will not bring any results.
In order to carry on get employ, we Singapore have to by no choice change our attitude towards the foreign talent treats and prove to our employer we are indeed better and value for monies!

The are more FT from india and south east asia then there are people in Singapore. No matter how good we are, there will be someone or better out there that cost cheaper then us. If we had to compete with them fairly then we must take their pay.
Last I heard a FT who is taking 1k less then me is willing to work 7 days a week. I can ever compete with that unless I ask for less pay then him.
I think both TCB and TKL are good candidates that are not mere "PAPig Yes Men". But should both run, I fear that they would cannibalize on the non-establishment voter base. Really hope something could be arranged so as to challenge Tony 1-on-1.
i like his " S'poreans 1st " ,becos i'm a S'porean too...

Tan Cheng Bock, Lee Kuan Yew, George Yeo all put Singaporeans first but do it in different way.
Tan Cheng Bock is more direct which sounds good at face value but might or might not be good for the bigger picture.
After all, there is a reason for FT and the reasons for FT have been repeated again and again by the ministers but the younger generations every year don't know it.
Agree.
What IF, Mr Tan is the Boss of a large company, 10 Singaporean professional applies for the job, 10 Foreigners professional too, apply for the same job. You can take in a total of 20~30 professionals if you employ the foreigners.
Who and how many Singaporean can you employ considering the overhead high costs.
What IF one cannot find enough people to fill the ‘less professional’ jobs where Singaporean tends to avoid, the boss have no option but to take in the foreigners.
Probable the key is to establish a balance point that will give Singaporean the job security we need.
And that’s not as easy as tasks as A,B,C.
p.s. No one would want to feel as if their country is being ‘invaded’ by foreigners.
If you are one who applied then you dont accept if you are selected. Give your post to the foreigner.
It will good if you come forward to lead good people to serve Singapore. God gave you wisdoms to lead our future generation out of this mess...I am sure good people see HOPE if they see good people come forward to serve Singapore.
Dr Tan has spoken from his heart and we should respect that and think deeply on what he has said. I believed he can forge a cohesive nation breaking down the racial divides. I second the idea of removing the racial help groups of CDAC, SINDA and MBMF and form just one help group for the poor. This is an excellent idea which in my opinion is of high moral standard.
My respect to you, Dr Tan!!
I am now so glad that i didn't vote for him when he tried jn the presidential election years ago and no wonder PAP don't want him.
Yes sir! Well received
We singaporeans are deprived, 2nd choiced, we are cheaper now, foreigners better?! Foreigners are not cheap??! How can we be discomfort at their expense??! How can we cannot be helped?!? Then how we are compensated in all the inconvenience and sacrifices?!? Maybe LKY can go into our own shoes and do an undercover boss to see, hear and feel for himself, it's excruciating and humiliation for us as singaporeans , so embarrassing and belittle our own selves
'Father' of Sin
During the interview, he explained why he ‘supported’ the infamous detention, “I believed the information that was given to me from the government at that time. I saw that the people believed that they were conspirators as well. As Feedback Unit Chief, I could not let my own feelings dilute the general consensus, which I presented in Parliament.” Do you accept his explanation?
support u from north . tcb win win win
Well done , Dr Tan ! What is your policy on the responsible use of the reserves ? Point me the link. Thx
Of course we must take care of Singaporean first. However foreigners and investors have lots of opportunities other than Singapore . Less investors less jobs opportunities for Singaporean,that's the hard reality .
What less job opportunities for Singaporean, now Singapore government creating JOBS for foreigners especially Malaysians. Foreigners supervise Singaporeans, foreigners get promoted but not Singaporeans. Foreigners get bigger pie than Singaporean.
I would welcome any foreigner who can create more jobs for Singaporeans but the truth is many Singaporean PMETs lost their jobs to much lesser qualified and some even unqualified foreigners. That's what's infuriating. Our government made us look like fools
We are not Pioneer nor Merdeka ....more like the Forgotten G.?....
You think businessman and employers are brainless?
To cater to political agenda and votes. This is the basic downfall of Singapore society. We must be fit and hungry. Lean and not fat are the only way Singaporeans learn. Not complaining.
Bosses will know what is best for their company whether it is a Singaporean or foreign talent! No person know better than the company employer needs! As an employer, his or her duty is to make sure the company is surviving and making profits. Too much of emotion will end up no more company left in Singapore because they are no more competitiveness in national level!
+Spanish Jo
That is true for a company but we are also looking at this from a government and country point of view. The government after all has to take care of the people while the people support the government. If the effort is skewed in either way then either party is going to have a harder time.
Since Singaporean is more expensive, company will never hire a Singaporean if the government hasn't implement the FT : Singaporean quota system.
YES, Dr Tan. Count me and my family members in. YOU'VE GOT OUR VOTES.
We need a great father like you to protect us Singaporean .me a singaporean suffering .please help us
Sad. This is happening
I sincerely appreciate what Mr Tan had said, but history had told us of good example men like 刘备，岳飞，屈原，and so on.All end up no good.Lucky Mr Tan didn't win,at least he can relax his life at home play with dog and watch fishes in the pond..He can go oversea to jalan jalan also good for him,cheers Mr Tan....
岳飞被秦桧害死啊。。。so who is that bloody 现代秦桧? that useless 松糕中!!!
dont go away, we need you!!
Too much respect for Old Man is your archilles heel ?
I still don't get it... WHY AREN'T YOU OUR PRESIDENT!
Ask this question through your vote in next GE
He was robbed of the opportunity. The ruling party changes the selection entry requirements of president to only Malay. So he did not qualify. But even that, he current president has no malay blood, nor an original Malay. She is an Indian converted Muslim. Even that Singaporean is robbed of the opportunity and lied to. Every foreigner knew about this except Singaporean like you. How foolish are you? ! What and irony
Too little too late the damage is already done
@akramdin good for you.
Its a pity we do not have you as our president. You would have helped overcome the tension on thw ground. It is always better to have a good cop bad cop strategy.... too bad... no body listens to percieved same camp establishment.
you are lucky to have a farm in Singapore.
The prime attribute of a leader is not prominent academic qualifications nor flashy corporate achievements, but patriotism to the citizens. Lets vote for Dr Tan as our Leader.
1👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Too LITTLE, too LATE......
Great speech Doc , let's do an encore !
Our minister is add hole see specially Grace or disgrace their care about their benefit not Singaporean, as I said if the foreigner are good I salute them, most able to buy certificate especially Indian from India and has no experience, which learn from us and kill us from the job. I think our PM is Indian not chinese
How can you think Singaporeans without thinking Singapore?
Big picture first, that is the most important criterion.
If Singapore does not prosper, how can Singaporeans prosper?
i want to work in air-con room only.die also dun want to work in farm..old fashion occupation.i dun want to be old mac.he he he XO..
Send all back n hire them for labour jobs n etc sweeper, security line they should take them off complety just keep pr will do . Prodcution up wages n hire singapores n enginerr all high profile jobs should go locals born singaporean
Don't understand him.Simple logic, bosses are not forced to employ foreigners.Dr Tan seems to be still interested in politics, please come back to lead.Should Singaporean believe in him, vote for him.If majority voted against him, accept the verdict like a grown up man.Singaporean first is not something very complicated, you know it, I know it, opposition know it, certainly PAP also know it. Speak like a great discovery, no need lah.
keecheok khoo
keecheok khoo simple logic too I totally felt you are neither talented nor smart to tell what is right and what is wrong! Perhaps you should grow up too! The pot calling the kettle black! Shame on you!
I am glad George Yeo is gone.
see things in wider scope.my father want me to work in the farm which i die die don want.thk to the foreigners who take up this job.LKY is right.WISE MAN.
