Is this move by the government a good one or a bad one? I think that this matter can be viewed from a few view points. Firstly , it is good as it gives locals a better chance of getting employed as they no longer have to compete with foreigners who have a lower expectation of salary. However , we have to admit that at times are citizens are a little too choosy for their own good. Most of the jobs which foreigners take up are those that our citizens have written off such as cleaners , labourers and pump attendants.
So this leads to the negative side of this action. If the demand for local staff increases , but the locals refuse to take them , wouldn’t this lead to a shortage of man power and thus causing a down fall to many industries? This might then lead to a rise in illegal workers and cause government agencies to be unable to keep track of the number of foreign workers in our country. We shall see in time if this step leads to a positive outcome or a negative one.
