The reassurance of the country’s Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew states, “We (Singapore) need to continue bringing in more foreign workers and talent so that it can take on the worldwide competition for growth and progress.” WorkSingapore, a central recruitment system, managed by JobsCentral and JobsFactory, added that Singapore companies are eager to hire foreign talents with Singapore Work Permit, provided they possess the necessary and relevant skill sets to handle the job requirements. The foreign workers and immigrants have created considerable opportunities and benefits for the Singaporean employment.

Prime Minister Mr Lee Hsien Loong had articulated, during one of his speeches, on the beneficial outcome with respect to the influx of foreign workers and talents that, “Without foreign workers, we would not have attracted US$3 billion investment, with Intel and Micron. By allowing in a controlled number of foreign workers, far from disadvantaging Singaporean workers, we have created more good jobs for Singaporeans, that is, for every one foreign worker, we have created 1.5 local jobs.”
