That one i duno... i find it rather subjective. On one hand, it does make sense, on the other hand quite a lot of Singaporeans struggle to find a job cos foreigners are cheaper (management position, they mostly bring in their own).

On bringing in more jobs. How it works, I think, investors will look at the availability of workforce. If a country has limited or dwindling workforce, they may look elsewhere. So, with increased workforce, and increased in talents, investors will weigh Sg more favorably.

On the flood gates, just this week, I was talking to a Japanese tenant and she said, quite a few ppl she knows (including her husband) had to leave Sg as their EP were not renewed by MOM, let alone new applicants being approved. So I'm not sure if they are tightening or opening.

Just my POV
