A very different subject:
Same like Universities lol
A buddy just telling me a few years back trying to get tech skilled workers (IT) and couldnt but MOM refusing work permits.
They told him get locals but none.
He said if your universities have 90% foreign graduates why cant I have 90% foreign workers…
Some of their banking clients were trying to work out which businesses they could hand over to the consultants to run assuming they could get work permits.
In the end they moved support hardware and workers to Johor, that was 10 years ago.
No wonder the massive new Changi Business Park is almost empty
Luckily must not be some of those assets ( who valued them?) that equal the debt in Singapore…
Unfortunately Singapores USP was 1st world operation ( with a few 1st world staff) at 3rd world costs but thats gone away and now the plan is???
( raise rents, GST and everything else they can squeeze, oh and borrow more money)

SINGAPORE: One of the toughest balancing acts that successive Singapore’s leaders have had to manage over the decades is to bring in foreign talent to the country while mitigating the inevitable tensions that come with it. Way back in the 1980s,...
This is the first time since 2010 that Singapore has emerged top in Asia Pacific on the Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index.
Singapore also remains the only Asian country to have been placed in the top 10 since the index was first published in 1995.
The country last held third place in 2018 and 2020, ranked fourth in 2019 and 2021, and placed fifth in 2022 and 2023.
Wonder what is the scores and rank of your country?: https://www.transparency.org/en/cpi/2024

Time to employ somebody that knows how to run a train set
Pretty sad now thats it common that it breaks down.
According to a statement by LTA, the three delays resulted from issues such as a malfunctioning electronic card, a power trip affecting multiple stations, and a stalled engineering vehicle.

Last big disaster they sacked for former Army general that ran it and replaced him with another…only in the 3rd world…
Last big disaster
Don’t know what qualify as “disaster” in your book. Maybe this qualify?:
Feb. 11 - Circle Line
LTA said that on Feb. 11 at 8:15am, a signalling fault happened between Paya Lebar and Marymount stations on the Circle Line.
This caused a power trip which affected 17 trains.
Power was restored within five minutes, and train movement resumed at 8:20 am.However, while restoring operations, SMRT observed that the Central Automatic Train Supervision (CATS) System, which regulates the movement of driverless trains, was less responsive than usual. This led to a delay in the resumption of normal operations. Train movement progressively resumed at 8:20am, said LTA.
LTA said that this issue on the CATS system was last experienced in September 2024.
LTA and SMRT have been working with Alstom, the system manufacturer, over the past few months to develop a software patch.The patch is scheduled to be deployed this weekend, following the completion of rigorous testing.
