Recently, I chanced upon an advertisement by an Indian consultancy firm and promising Indian nationals of good jobs in Singapore.
The slogan says, "If you can dream it, we can make it happen".
Over the years, Singapore PAP has made no apologies for selling our country out by signing FTA with India and China.
In the FTA Info Kit, the agreement states that PAP will provide jobs for Indian nationals in more than 127 professions. India is more than happy to get rid of some of its 1.3 billion people and PAP is more than happy to accept them to boost their GDP numbers (their bonuses) and shore up PAP votes. PAP's lame defence is that these foreigners help to increase real wages of locals.

The India-Singapore CECA was successfully concluded and was signed on 29 June 2005, during Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong's State Visit to India.
Professionals can also apply for a visa period of up to 1 year. The annex provides a list of 127 specific occupations.
However, ever since GE2011, PAP has repeatedly backed down and tightened up its foreign workers from India. Speculation is rife that India might take up the issue with World Trade Organization’s (WTO) dispute settlement body. However, according to Singapore such a decision was imperative in the interest of the natives as the share of the foreign workforce is rising very rapidly.
This episode marks a significant turn of events. PAP fears no one except that ballot paper in your hand.
Which country leader would whore itself out by selling our land to India with a population of more than 1.2 billion?
