Is MENDAKI TOO SLOW for the Community?

No doubt, Mendaki has contributed tremendously to our community's success. THANK YOU, lah.. very much...

But seriously with too many foreigners flushing into S'pore, I think, MENDAKI got too really do self-examinations & really review its strategy.

If you read Today's BERITA HARIAN, you will notice a big article lauding MENDAKI's efforts in retraining & getting these trainees jobs with higher pays. Well that's GREAT, right?

BUT, if you read see the bottom line of the achievements, ALAMAK, really peanuts, lah!!!
See here: Only 240 trainees successful in getting jobs with between $1.2K - $1.5K.. Like this type of achievement also got featured in a national newspaper?? Strange...

OK, now let see the WHOLE PICTURE, Of the 236,600 new jobs created last year, 144,500 (or 61%) went to foreigners.
With all those overtime & stuff, those foreigners' salaries are about 1.8K to 2K per month!!!

Hope this REALITY wakes MENDAKI up. Pls don't get buoy by the the illusion of FALSE SUCCESS..... for the sake of OUR COMMUNITY.
