''So the head of bean counting at SIA is going to stop all local recruitment of Cadets in favour of Malaysians and Indians so they can save a months salary?''
You obviously don't know the industry.
SQ has a 'standard' You imply locals are not suitable? Indians and Malaysians are ?
Singapore has highest GPD [higher than Swiss and Sweden]
Highest literacy
Highest ratio of Billion/Millionaires
Best health rate [debatable]
Highest education standard [Countries copy their curriculum]
Costliest property prices -higher than Monaco
Most expensive cars
Best food
Most expensive politicians
Its not because their locals are not capable but rather they are not attracted to the industry -too highly qualified.
Oh btw their are several Doctors who are flying for SQ and Lawyers too.
So there goes that theory..
