Safest from this is still jobs in the public sector lor. Don't think I need to explain why, right?

So easy to bypass the local hire quota. Just engage these foreign workers as independent contractors. Then they won't be considered a hired staff, but just an external contractor contracted to provide certain services. Best thing is by telecommuting, they don't even need what ever workpass or visa as well as related expenses to be in SG to work.
Available jobs will shrink if many companies successfully pull this off. Competition will then go through the roof!
