These positions can be easily filled by the citizen JOBLESS GRADUATES.
Bear in mind, PRs are not Singaporeans. I see many job positions, even in the civil service, which stated for "Singaporeans and PRs". PRs are not Singaporeans - they are foreigners. Why should they be given same priority as Singaporeans?
Policy must change or else many of our SINGAPOREAN CITIZENS, esp those above 40s, will be jobless - and this is a disaster, politically.
From now on, job positions (esp the civil service) must state: "ONLY SINGAPOREANS NEED APPLY"
PRs and foreigners should be categorised the same. PRs should not be given the same priority as citizens.
We must protect our SINGAPOREAN CITIZEN WORKERS.

Have you ever thought about the PRs who have lived in Singapore over ten years (eg, my family), contributed to the Singaporean economy, education system, worked our asses off, made a lot of Singaporean friends and who treat Singapore as a home?
We would like to apply for citizenship, but it's not as easy as it seems. Please be careful of what you say, because you will be offending a lot of people who genuinely care for this country and are doing all they can to assimilate and stay here and make it their permanent home.
