That's all the things that foreign workers are deprived of .. It's also called exploitation.Becasue in order to keep a Singaporean sale staff happy he/she expect more money for having to "serve" other people, need more off days, shorter working hours, possible have more weekend off days, no last minute fill for other but alright for them to take urgent leave....etc. At the slightest pressure from a bad customer...throw letter.

This works only as long as the work consist of simple, repeated tasks which can be done in a faster way to achieve more finished tasks in a certain time.you may wish to restructure your business model to incentivise your staff to sell more, eg commission based or profit sharing. rational staff are selfish staff and work best if working for perceived self benefit, although of course skillful management and leadership are important too
It says a lot when I have a group of PRC technicians earning 3K with OT come up to me and say they tak boleh tahan liao and wants to return home after their contract expires. Apparently their counterparts in PRC also have around the same basic salary if not just slightly less.

It is the bubble gum syndrome once again. Using a big hammer to solve the problem without really understanding what "job" really are lost versus what jobs singaporean just refuse to take up. I am facing this problem with manpower. If this goes on... anyone want to pay say 20-30% for a product they buy in a store?

If they dont want to break it down to see what so call important jobs are going to foreigners then this is not solving the problem but making new ones. There is no one size fit all solution.
Just remember... there has to be BUSINESS and WORK to be done .....(and NOT everyone will be a manager) .... THEN there will be jobs
"Are you advocating the business or profits precedes everything under the sun perspective or view?"
err...advocate what ? Its a fact and a common theme/objective when doing business ... unless you can enlighten us on a type of business where profit takes a back seat . It is not the ONLY objective, but a primary one that stands first ahead of any other noble objectives
Even when a firm/company is strong on social responsibility and looks after its employees, the bottom line is still primary

… Btw, do you think LKY’s “stop at 2” policy in the past was base more on economic or other values?
I believe the White Paper's plan is for (most) Singaporeans to be the PMETs (i.e., managers and professionals) while we import workers to do the actual work.
