Committee of Supply 2022 debate, Day 2: Cheng Hsing Yao on taking a more dynamic approach to foreign labour policy
Consider a more differentiated and dynamic approach to foreign labour policy, taking into account inter-sectoral competition for talent and giving more leeway for less competitive sectors to tap foreign labour to help them transform and innovate. NMP Cheng Hsing Yao explained why he was making this call in Parliament on Thursday (Mar 3). He expressed concern that Singapore’s manpower policies take too much of a “macro approach” that will hinder overall economic transformation.
