The Big Story Ep 30: Employment Pass quota not unthinkable, but probably unwise, says Josephine Teo
8:47 mins
Synopsis: This is a special episode of The Straits Times' video series The Big Story.
Manpower Minister Josephine Teo says imposing quotas on higher-end foreign professionals when it comes to Employment Passes is not unthinkable, but such a move would probably be unwise.
She tells Parliament that It is much better to use salary requirements to ensure companies can access foreign professionals of the right quality, while committing to build up their local staff over time.
Assistant news editor Lim Yan Liang analyses the proposals raised in Parliament with The Big Story hosts Hairianto Diman and Olivia Quay.
