According to a recent poll we conducted, most people agree with the government’s latest move to raise foreign worker levies in order to curb the influx of foreigners in Singapore.

However, is it really the best solution in the long run? Users of the JobsCentral Forum have an interesting variety of opinions on the issue. Botakboy89 agrees with the government that “if access to labour is too easy, companies will have little incentive to invest in productivity improvements, which will affect (their) efforts to upgrade the skills and wages of lower-income Singaporean workers”.

On the other hand, Whistler thinks that “they (employers) will go overseas if their operations become too expensive, meaning less jobs for Singaporeans, especially if Singaporeans don't have the right skill sets”.
