Recently, Mediacorp Celebrity Artiste Tay Ping Hui was on the cover of 8 days magazine.
MediaCorp celebrity and Young PAP member Tay Ping Hui has spoken up again on the behalf of Singaporeans against the uncontrolled influx of foreigners into Singapore.
Despite the rising concerns among Singaporeans that they will soon be ‘squeezed out’ by the newcomers, Deputy Prime Minister Tharman insisted that Singapore must remain ‘OPEN’ to ‘foreign talents’ or risked having their competitiveness decreased as foreigners help create jobs for Singaporeans.
However, Ping Hui felt it is important to know who actually get the jobs. In a post on his Twitter, he wrote:
“When talking about job creation, It is not just about how many jobs r created. It is about what kind of jobs & who actually get those jobs.”
He also expressed a sentiment felt by many Singaporeans:
“Singaporeans r not asking to closed doors entirely. They r asking for d doors be opened only to those who truly deserve to enter our home.”
Tay Ping Hui is no stranger to such issues and there was talk in GE2011 that he would be fielded to contest in a GRC. Sometimes, when we read such news, we wonder why people like Tay still want to support PAP. Perhaps Tay Ping Hui Should Stop Hoping that PAP can reinvent itself and break off ties with PAP.
