It has become so difficult to hire the necessary workers that businesses are shutting down in Singapore.
"In a hypothetical situation where there were no foreign manpower curbs, then (domestic) growth may have been a little bit higher," said Selena Ling, head of treasury research for OCBC.
How stupid is it to be turning to robots when the importation of foreign labor, to fill a role that's obviously not being filled locally, would provide a net increase in domestic growth.
Sounds like it is Singapore's version of the US tea baggers running the show.
