Should be fake news.
Apologies. I’m still trying to verify the authenticity.
Btw, a few days ago, I received a phone call for a survey regarding my opinion of PM Wong and his new Cabinet. I told the survey person that I strongly agreed because I liked him and thought it was a great choice to choose Gan as his DPM.
The next survey question had me stunned for quite long. Something like whatever our Govt does, it is for the good of all Singaporeans. After much thought, I told the the survey person that I disagreed. Lol. For example, an overwhelming influx of FTs irked Singaporeans. DH joked it’s akin to asking our children if they know we force them to do assessment books is all for their own good! LOL.
Some other questions include whether I think 4G leaders are cohesive (I said no) and whether I think 4G leaders can bring Singapore forward (I said yes). Kind of conflicting I know… guess when we put all the brilliant, alpha males together, this is what we get.
Last question was, what I think of this survey, I said I love it! At least Govt would be getting some feedback from the ground, I guess… I once did a similar survey before, on whether females should serve NS. -

Wow! @lee_yl, you encounter such special survey! DH was invited to one of those ground feedback as input towards policy making. Quite interesting the way it was conducted with teams working out points to highlight to govt.
Note : apologize for Kate post, as there seems to be system hang earlier. -

The survey person sounded so happy when I agreed to do a short survey over phone with her. I bet 9 in 10 pax would just slam her calls when invited to do such surveys thinking it must be from some scam.

I think 1 out of 100 people would entertain doing a survey, even more so over a phone.

Wld require to provide personal contact and particulars details? Usually survey would ask for some of these.

I normally ask if they need my numbers, i would not take part.
How to verify if such surveys are legit?
Our nation has to depend more on foreign labour coz more new gen not willing to have children.
Foreign talents or workers are here to work and contribute, based on needs so no choice and usually there are rigorous selection processes 🙏. But how abt their tag alongs?
These days, even on public transport, more speak their own languages loudly than our own 4. Can tell apart. 4 langs are usually spoken mindfully in public. They know no one can understand their own lang so speaking so freely and loudly. Some are decent people, giving up seats to our older folks or new mummies etc.
Notice that, more foreigners are working for hawker stalls, as employees? Some can even speak very decent Mandarin than locals... But look like our domestic helpers... Not verified though, just noticed so....
Does this mean Sg locals are all driving? So saying that this is actually a good sign?
Haven't been to east coast park since before covid until recently. So different now. Fully utilised by non locals who truly appreciate our natire reserves, parks and beaches. Saw so many tents, barbecues and group singing with music blasting. The rubbish left behind is quite an eyesore though.
Knowing our g are capable and know to keep the numbers under control and monitored closely. But the impression on the ground portrayed a different backdrop... And becoming the foreground slowly. That's why ppl are asking....
Looks like we have painted our own picture. -

TBH, I’ve seen how some foreign MNCs will favour their own. I worked with one petroleum giant & during an economic downturn, which their in-house economist predicted, they started getting us HR to scrutinize PA & HODs hv to monitor targets to be met & flag out poor performers. Then all the letters start getting generated (some with compensations) but that was one of the lowest point for eyees & morale were at it’s all time low. Next moment, you see them sending their HQ staff over as expats to fill up jobs. What can we say then? It’s a foreign owned not SMEs & back then, SMEs weren’t coined.

Now, even with SMEs, they’ll try to use foreigners for cost management & whenever they can, M’sians are sought after to overcome the quota hurdle. MOM hv stepped up with stringent quotas & higher based salary rqmt. Despite, these orn find ways to cheat the system. Govt can do as much to catch up with creative cheaters but it’s like cat chasing mouse ard the house.
Last decade to-date, we’ve orgns putting pressure on eyees under veiled resignation. You can’t take the new r’qmts, u’ll be zeroed in till you feel the heat or paiseh just toss in the letter. Companies save up on retrenchment packages.
Tough life but that’s the reality of life these days. -
What kind of fitness watch we can wear to school. Those measuring heart rate etc.

My brother’s friend works as a bank’s telemarketer and the friend said turnover among this group is extremely high. Some didn’t even turn up for work after trying for a week. I guess the feeling of being phone slammed is horrible.
Lol. That would be me... these days I even pick up the phone without speaking until the other party says something first I think 1 out of 100 people would entertain doing a survey, even more so over a phone.
But, this friend persevered and even roped in his wife to join him. Fast forward, both of them doing so well at telemarketing that the couple bought a FH condo from the bank’s commission. So, every trade still has its winners!!
