首以副总理身份发表劳动节集会演说 王瑞杰称行动党不抛弃工友

全国职工总会劳动节集会在昨日(5月1日)举行,财政部长王瑞杰,也首次以副总理身份,首度在该集会上发表主旨演说。 他再次重申职工运动一直都是人民行动党最重要的伙伴,全国职工总会和行动党的亲密共生关系,是新加坡独特而宝贵的劳资政三方合作关系的基础。 “今天是我首次以行动党下一代领导班子领军人物身份,对大家发言。”他如是告诉现场群众。 称不会抛弃工友 他也和历任总理一样,重申了建国总理李光耀50年前在职总现代化研讨会上做出的承诺,保证行动党和职总的亲密共生关系,将会在第四代领导层以及往后继续下去。” 王瑞杰称行动党珍视和职总关系,并向工运承诺,行动党永远都不会抛弃工友。 同时,第四代领导班子会全心全意帮助年长工人继续就业。 话虽如此,摆在国内劳动者眼前的则是艰巨的挑战和竞争。过去,王瑞杰曾在南洋理工大学的一项活动, 呼吁国人应抱持信心和全球各地不同族群、言语和文化的人交流,并指出“大家不会想活在一个人人筑墙自保的世界。” 国内PMET的困境 他认为,我们必须加深对他人的理解,无论对方是新移民、我们的邻居、大学同侪、还是其他大学的学生,也鼓励学生参与大学间的交换学生计划。 其中一位与会学生,也对王瑞杰抛出问题,询问他对于放眼我国到2030年引进690万人口的立场。但他指出,我国的人口还不算过于稠密,还有其他都市比我国更拥挤,他也引述“城市规划之父”刘太格在2014年的提议,新加坡要保持长远永续成长,就应以人口达到一千万的情况作规划。 然而,政府大开闸招揽外来人才定居我国,本土PMET(专业人士、经理、执行人员和技师)却面对越来越难找到工作的困境。…
