I just do not get it. Why can’t native born and bred locals be trained for the job?
Why do we need to get Taiwanese here and train them?

The wages given to them is about the same given to a local, not less. So how in the world will this help in the company’s bottom line???

I propose the following taxes when companies want to hire foreigners to give locals a more level playing field:

in lieu of CPF tax at the same % as the employer CPF contribution rate to locals

in lieu of family tax if foreigner does not have family in SG to support

in lieu of reservist tax at an amount that a local doing his job would have earned if didn’t go for reservist training

in lieu of training local to fill the job tax to penalise companies for hiring foreigners without putting in effort to train a SG internally to fill the job

Anymore to add?
