P1 Registration: S'poreans First
Finally they are righting this after so many years. This is an important moment for locals. PRs who want to be treated similarly should consider if they are prepared to make the commitment to this place as citizens.
Finally they are waking up slowly from their slumber. But there are areas they are still not. Especially for promoting local SMEs/start-ups, I think they can be lenient on the labour front. But for MNCs or international businesses, continue to tighten the inflow of cheap labour/pmet. I don't understand why they can't have such tiered and discriminated policies like they just did for P1 education, in order to give local start-ups and creativity a leg up.
