Gilbert and his Transitioning.org blog has been the rallying point for many Singaporeans who have lost their jobs prematurely due directly or indirectly to the influx of so called foreign talents here. Many even accused their employers for deliberately and discriminately replacing them with foreigners. And Gilbert has been taking up their cases with their employers and also raising them with the MOM. So far results are less than satisfactory and with many turning a deaf ear to him and the plight of the victimized and unemployed PMETs. The loser Sinkies have no where and no one to turn to except Gilbert.
What Gilbert could do is to turn his blog into a notice board or bouncing board to highlight all the bad cases and to publicise the names of CEOs and their organisations for discrimination against Singaporeans. And for every case highlighted, make sure the MOM is also notified and keep a log on the actions and/or reply from MOM and the CEOs concerned until the case is satisfactorily settled.
Gilbert must do this seriously with a column dedicated to this cause. It Is a citizen’s initiative to protect their own interests when the politicians are too busy with their own agenda. Make this blog as the blog for employee grievances, as the place for victimized Singaporeans to pour out their sad stories until the MOM and the CEOs concerned take action or be shamed for not taking any action. This will definitely be a positive act to make sure that something is done for the victims, and the violators would not think they could get away scot free or as if their victims are hapless and have no one to turn to.
Make Transitioning.org the place for PMETs to address their pains and problems. Make it known to the whole world what is happening to the daft Sinkies in their home country.
Gilbert, you listening?
