6.9 million reasons to invest in our future


Do you know that the average boss in a corporation today has fewer assistants despite having more responsibilities? There used to be office boys sending letters and coffee, and two to three personal assistants following a boss around. We don't have that anymore.

This is because of improvements in education and technology, so we no longer need someone other than the boss to draft a letter, record notes, and constantly plan and manage the boss' diary. A lot of the work in the workplace is self-driven.

If we invested in training our people and building new technology, would we still need the same number of foreign workers to support our economy in 2030? Why do we keep spending on low productivity foreign workers who have no ownership or future here, when we can invest in our own land. This is OUR land.

Let's try to find a solution instead of this show of closed-mindedness from both sides. We care for our future, so let's build the one which works for us, not the hell we currently live in.
