Interesting article, click to read more :3 Below just small extract: "Lets look at the history of the statistics from the perspective of the consistent rhetoric which as I understand it started around 2010 (the year prior to the general elections) – that the influx of foreign workers will be curtailed. In 2010, foreign to local employment change was 95,500 to 56,200. But after the general elections in May 2011. foreign to local change actually ballooned to 107,600 against 37,800. In other words, does it mean that the rhetoric was not matched by the outcome? Now that the 2012 and 1H2013 statistics show a slowdown in foreign employment change of 59,100 to 58,800 (2012) and 31,700 to 34,100 (1H2013) respectively, the crucial question may be to what extent was it due to a curtailment policy or a slowdown in the economy?", Leong Sze Hian
