Victor Mills Chief Executive Singapore International Chamber of Commerce
Reducing the number of foreign workers and S-passes per company will impact the food & beverage and retail industries the most. They are the key service industries in which Singaporeans are not keen to work and for which widespread automation is not a practical option. Our society's attitude to service jobs needs to dramatically change. They have suffered far too long from being equated to domestic helpers' roles which is, in itself, unjust.
