Body in suitcase: Pakistani men were selling tissue paper here

[specuvestor]

Pls read my post carefully. Those who are working here on social pass ie tourist are not allowed to perform any form of work LEGALLY. Technically going for interview is not work. Way to close this loophole in future is probably to make sure those interviewees have WP attached. The loophole was due to the fact that WP was attached to the company so they can interview first and apply WP later

From the development of the last few posts on this thread, I am surprised that a number of Singaporeans are still unaware that tourists can apply for jobs here, and that tourists can be direct competitors for jobs. I guess we all learnt something.

This is one reason why redundancies amongst Singaporeans in their late 30s and 40s are increasing, and why a growing number of Singaporeans are becoming taxi drivers while they still have about a good 15 years left in their PMET careers, if they were not made redundant.

Allowing any tourist to apply for S-Pass and E-Pass jobs allow the economy to keep its workforce perpetually young, but I wonder at what cost it is done for our own citizens?

There is probably no such work permit to sell tissue, any more than there work permits issued to foreigners to sell sex. Foreigners who sell sex are usually here on work permits to work as masseurs or public entertainers in pubs, KTV lounges, etc.

The Pakistanis probably are here on 1 month's social pass, during which they are free to do what they want, which includes regular job hunting like any other Singaporean jobseekers, selling sex, selling tissue, beg professionally, or whatever profession you can think of.

Take this as a wake up call. Your jobs are not secured. High chance of you being made redundant in your late 30s. It used to be from the 40s, now I think late 30s.

Better that you start early to invest and build up a viable source of alternative income to safeguard yourself.
