		<description>This is hardly surprising. 

In early 1990s, PAP mentioned there were about 200K FWs (not FTs) in SG. The emphasis was on restricting their numbers.

From 1997/1998 onwards, the FW numbers (FT was a separate issue), were allowed to increase to 900K in 2010.

This was an increase of 4.5 times over 20 years. 

The employers brought the FWs in without any thought of how to manage them. When problems occurred, the employers simply tried to push the problems aside. 

PAP occasionally tried talked about controlling the FW numbers but had no impact. FW (unlike FT) management is unglamourous and no elitist politician or bureaucrat wants to spend time on such issues.</description>

		<description>CISCO should handle the repatriation business and the authorities must issue new guidelines on the industry. NTUC should have a NGO unit to tackle human rights abuses. Foreign workers should be entitled Union protection and services.</description>

		<description>MOM should hold back the 5K even when the worker goes home. It should be use to settle any salary dispute the worker have with the company. Only after MOM have investigated the claim then will the money be release to the company or worker. Workers will be more willing to go home knowing that their case is being looked into. Most of the time the 5K comes form the worker themselves having paid anything up to 10K to work in Singapore. So the true onwer of the 5K is the worker themselves Company claiming that they will lose the 5K are all bullshit it is extra income for the company.</description>

		<description>You&#039;re right gemami. I too recalled that this guy was a no-hoper. However, strangely, his rise in the party ranks have been meteoric despite his mediocrity.  I&#039;ve also wondered about this.....
I also wonder why did the people of Choa Chu Kang vote in for GE 2006?  Strange decision. 
Steve Chia, on the other hand, would have made a people&#039;s MP.  If you just relied on pictures and text from the papers, he wouldnt make an impression on you. But if you meet him in person and heard him talk, his charisma and sincerity becomes apparent. 
As for Gan, apparently he ran away from the media at a grassroots event last Sunday.  Was too chicken to face questions from reporters.
One would think that leaders should be made of stronger mettle......</description>

		<description>This is why we need to have our voices represented. That Gan guy was a people-rejected item during election, but the PAP somehow got him into the ruling bandwagon by the GRC backdoor, and made him one of the features of MOM.

What has he done? You see his face lately all over the MSM but why isn&#039;t he paying attention to the workers or MOM&#039;s treatment of the workers instead?

Sleeping on his job? 

This is a clear example why the current election system must be dismantled. Someone rejected by the people, who could see his failings from a mile away, is forced on us, and now to create this mess.</description>

		<description>It just shows that MHA/MOM have being slack in their dealings all along.

These two ministires may need a top down dressing and maybe a change of their top command.

So far, they have not improve all these years in dealing effectively with many labour related problems.

They are perhaps only good in catching Singaporeans speeding or sleeping on the bench at East Coast Park.

If you ask them to do more they simply back off.</description>

		<description>It is too troublesome for government to investigate foregin worker dispute in a fair and timely manner. It is just too many cases reported. Somemore, it does not benefit government to help these worker in anyway. Worse, it pissed off employers who pay taxes and create jobs. That probably explain why government turns blind to these foreign worker request for help.</description>

		<description>The repatriation companies are making lots of money during this big economic downturn.The garmen said its alright. I am just disgusted and ashamed. Surely, it condones human degradation and this is like some of the activities of the Nazis in pre-war Germany. Its just that later on the Nazis went too far by gassing six million Jews and other people. Our garmen is at the beginning stage of the Nazis and can it escalate? Yes. Possible. Frightening. Great place to live, Singapore. Golden era. God&#039;s own country.

The garmen said young men you do NS and fight and die for your country. You die, who lives. TheEEElite. They are in the rear. The officer said you must charge and attack and throw hand grenades into the pillbox. Hohapata will die and the scholar officer will live - he is in the command post. Fight and die for Singapore!</description>

		<description>Funny things, first we singaporeans are assured of heading into the golden years by our elites which we believed them and instead we are now heading into an opposite direction and got cheated. Now, the FW are also made into believing that they are coming here to benefit from us, and now instead of making good money to bring home, they got cheated, ill treated and were being  threatened to keep their mouths shut. The whole scene is a big messed up because of lies and more lies being told.</description>
