Have you looked at the MT depts in schools? Excluding ML teachers, most of the CL and TL teachers are foreigners. Young Singaporean CL and TL teachers are a rarity.
Math is math. Science is science. Pretty sure can import teachers for these subjects easily.
Maybe those localised subjects like social studies might be slightly harder. But not impossible.

Honestly speaking, hiring foreigners will be extremely hard since the recruitment is directly done by
MOE HR. I believe their data will show that there is fierce overwhelming applications for
MOE teaching. So they have no lack of local applicants. The only thing that is really happening right now is that they simply are not accepting as many new applicants. With this extremely high bar in place, it is almost impossible to get in. Even if you are offered, you may not be allocated your desired subjects. Many applicants have declined the offer because of this.
The real question to ask, is whether the manpower to work ratio is indeed healthy or not right now. That said, perhaps some roundabout administrative reason will be unleashed and that will be the end of it?
Highly doubt any transparent financial or logistical reason will be given?
