SG main focus is to build a better future for S'poreans

SINGAPORE: Singapore's main focus is on the longer-term challenge of building a better future for its people, Deputy Prime Minister and Manpower Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam said in his May Day message on Thursday.
He said everything the government does is aimed at achieving inclusive growth which benefits all Singaporean workers.
Mr Tharman added that the government is working with small- and medium-sized enterprises to help them to upgrade their operations and stay competitive in a tight labour market.
As for lower-wage workers, they can tap on the Workfare Income Supplement and Workfare Training Support schemes, which encourage them to find regular work and help them progress through training and skills upgrading.
Tripartite partners are also urged to promote best sourcing as many lower-wage workers are employed in industries where outsourcing is common, such as the cleaning and security industries.
Mr Tharman said service buyers must outsource responsibly, so that service providers are focused on service quality and productivity, and on improving employment conditions and wages for their workers.
The government, as a major service buyer, will lead by example in best sourcing practices by procuring only from accredited cleaning companies and well-graded security agencies.
The government will also closely monitor and study the impact of the Retirement and Reemployment Act that came into effect in January this year as well as the Special Employment Credit.
Mr Tharman said that Singapore must stay open to expertise from around the world and enable companies to have the diverse teams that allow them to remain competitive.
But at the same time, Singapore must do its utmost to maximize every Singaporean's potential, and develop local capabilities that give Singapore its sustainable advantage.

What does the future hold ?
-
My main political focus is to destroy PAP rule in Singapore and end peranakan control of Singapore.

Indeed they are building a better future for Singaporeans but not any ordinary Singaporeans, it is for the PAPigs and their families.
Genuinely, if they are building a better future for the Singaporeans, there will not be the immigration issue which affects the citizens
Lies, and lies, and more lies, and more lies to come. Damn the PaPigs and the sissy PM.

They are asking you to give them another chance to get it right for us...

Not me, I am not giving them any chance. Only the Sickaporeans give them chance every election to do as they like. I am a Singaporean not Sickaporean.

I am not interested in giving PAP chance, I am only interested in destroying PAP rule.
