Good thing for the employees from other countries, not-so-good thing for the companies. However, I have thought about this before - those service companies in Singapore are living on borrowed time. In a country where you would basically need at least S$1,500 to just survive normally, paying employees less than that cannot go well in the long run. They have to pay more competitive wages, which then also results in higher cost of services - say goodbye to your $2 chicken ricetaxico wrote:not racist unless non-NAS/PRC/malaysian applicants are entirely exempted from the category.

Non-NAS/PRC/Malays are entirely exempted from obtaining work passes in the services sector as defined by MoM. Not sure how that's not racist.nakatago wrote:Still making decisions based on race.taxico wrote:not racist unless non-NAS/PRC/malaysian applicants are entirely exempted from the category.

They need an S-Pass not an EP, but its lopsided isn't it? a Chinese establishment would have fewer bottlenecks to do business, they can get cheap easy labor from china. whereas for say an Indian one it'll be that much more expensive.taxico wrote:persons from elsewhere just need an EP to do so... or am i mistaken?
