过度依赖低成本劳动力、外籍专才 阮健平:疫情曝露我国经济结构弱点

新加坡前进党中委阮健平认为,冠状病毒19疫情, 揭露了我们经济结构上的许多弱点。我们过分依赖某些已被证明是高度脆弱的行业。

我们过分依赖低成本劳动力和外国的专业人员、管理人员、执行人员和技术人员。

他直言,国家对展示项目进行了巨额投资,这些项目给世界留下了深刻印象,但并没有直接造福我们的公民,特别是低收入人群。

在誌期5月29日的脸书贴文,阮健平针对政府近期公布的财政纾困方案表达看法。

尽管他支持政府采取的纾困方案,但也认为有必要确保来之不易的储备金得到有效的运用。

“首先,我们需要确保这些援助是否足够,而且是否提供给真正需要的人。 另外,由于时间紧迫,有关当局必须在最短的时间内把这些援助发放出去。”

对于个别家庭,突然失去收入来源,都是影响生存危机;但要说所有与企业是否都应获得政府的财政援助,则有待商榷,例如那些年年获利、向员工及股东发放丰厚的花红和股息的大企业,政府是否有必要发放援助?

中小企业形势更严峻

阮健平也是前丰隆亚洲首席执行员。他认为,许多大公司具有承受短期挑战并进行长期调整的财务实力和组织能力。反观中小型企业面对的情况却更为严峻。

“在新加坡,中小型企业(小型承包商、初创企业、邻里小店和小贩)是国家经济的重要组成部分,它们雇用约65巴仙的劳动力。如果这些较小的企业破产,许多新加坡人将会失去工作。”

而且这些中小企业会因为阻断措施再延长一个月而陷入困境,甚至加速其灭亡。它们像是在巨浪中挣扎漂浮的小船,迫切需要来自两个方面的援助。对此,阮健平认为有必要大幅度降低他们的固定成本。

协助失业群体

根据星展银行(DBS)的预测,今年遭裁退的人数可能高达4万5600人。许多陷入困境的中小企业也还是无法逃避倒闭的厄运。这势将导致许多人失业,所以政府有必要采取措施帮助这些失业的国人。

这场巨大风暴看似遥遥无期。短期内,我们可利用国家储备,但这非长久之计。所以,我们应该利用这次的危机省慎反思下来国家发展的方向。
