Singaporeans first?

Now that the dust of the GE is settling, many anxious Singaporeans are waiting to see if there would be policy changes from the PAP.

Already, both MM Lee and SM Goh have announced their resignations from Cabinet.
The timing of their decisions is a moot point. How many people would have still voted SM Goh if they knew he was leaving his post?
How many swing voters would have voted Opposition had they known that LKY would no longer be MM?
It can be argued that Chiam See Tong failed in his GRC bid because many voters weren't sure if he could last the distance.

However, the biggest talking point amongst my peers, colleagues and acquaintances is the foreign worker issue.
We want the PAP to come out and declare a "Singaporeans First" policy. Most if not all of the Opposition parties have promised to do so if elected.

There have been more and more reports surfacing online about extremely lax immigration policy, not just in terms of numbers but quality of the foreign workers that have swelled up our tiny island.
One Indian national posted in the Singapore Expats Forum about how the Ministry of Manpower failed to detect his false educational qualifications. How many more such cases are there amongst the 1.5 million foreign population?
Just to clarify, I think most of us are aware that we do need unskilled workers to do jobs that Singaporeans won't want to do, eg. construction. Many countries around the world employ workers from developing countries for such jobs too.
Most people are taking issue with the foreign PMETs who compete for jobs that Singaporeans want to do or are upgrading themsleves for.

It is not that Singaporeans hate foreigners. It's just there are far too many of them in our country and it doesn't take a PhD to conclude that they must be taking away good jobs from the natives.
In fact, it's the PAP's flawed immigration policy that has created distrust between locals and foreigners. If you knew you can be replaced by a foreigner who's cheaper, has no NS obligations, has a Masters (Many Indians obtain higher degrees very easily!), wouldn't you be a little resentful and suspicious?

On that note, the Times of India reported that 60,000 Indian PMETs will be hired in Singapore this year.
Firstly, that's far too many for our liking . Secondly, how many of those will be on fake qualifications?

And it's not just the Indians. Our precious office spaces are filled with Filipinos, PRCs and Caucasians of all types. Don't get me wrong, some diversity in the workforce is good. If a comapny was selling into Indian state markets, it may make sense to hire a skilled Indian professional. A Caucasian with considerable regional business development experience could be an asset to a firm.
But it becomes farcical when we are employing foreigners to do jobs that Singaporeans can do, from receptionists to technicians and marketing execs.
A market research team in a big consumer goods MNC is entirely made up of Filipinos and Indians.

If the PAP is really doing some real soul-searching, please do the following:

1) Declare a Singaporeans first policy not just for jobs but other basic services like education and health care

2) Grind immigration to a halt this year. We don't want another 60k Indians on our shores or MM Lee's grand vision of another 900k foreigners!

3) Review the employment passes that have been given out. Set a quota to renew just 50% of these, obviously retaining the best talents with proper qualifications

4) Give Singaporean sons who do National Service a level playing field. Some things that could be done incldue reduction of NS time, priority in tertiary courses and further subsidies to school fees.

We hope we won't be disappointed.
