Reader’s Comment on Article “Helping private enterprises create jobs”

I have been following this post with a lot of interests.

If Singapore is not helping its citizens the way technologically and industrially advanced countries are through “Offset”, are our private enterprises then not up against major, if not impossible odds competng against their competitors who are so assisted by their governments?

We should ask what are our government servants specifically doing like the suggestion in this article to help us instead of a shot gun approach like the Job Credit Scheme? Is there ignorance on their part? Should ignorance be an excuse when taxpayers’ monies which they have responsiblities over are involved? Are they not at least required to act with prudence to cause their actons or inactions to be independently checked against what other governments are doing? Especially when these can have an impact on our livelihood.

Maybe it’s time again to check if our civil servants have been failing us. Yes, again. This time we don’t have to wait and pray that no harm will come our way. Some people’s livelihood is in the course of, if not already destroyed and more are being threatened. Isn’t this sufficient reason to act with urgency before it contributes eventually to Signapore’s downfall?

Thanks for pointing out that it is the Singapore Business Federation who should take a lead in this. I remembered when I was still employed that my company had wondered why we are compelled to pay fees when no new or real beenfits accrue from a SBF membership
