Humble Servant of All
I am writing as a concerned Singaporean to raise urgent and growing concerns over the misuse of foreign manpower quota policies, the ineffectiveness of the COMPASS framework, and the broader failure to ensure fair employment opportunities for Singaporeans in our own country. Despite existing regulations, many companies have found ways to circumvent quota restrictions—particularly by leveraging third-party agencies after meeting initial quota requirements. These companies often hire Singaporeans temporarily to fulfill their obligations, only to dismiss them unfairly once quotas are met. Foreign workers are then hired through alternative channels, leading to workplaces where Singaporeans are a minority. This is deeply unfair and has eroded trust in our employment policies. The COMPASS framework, intended to raise the quality of Employment Pass holders, has so far proven ineffective in protecting local employment or improving job accessibility for Singaporeans. In reality, it has enabled the continued preference for foreign hires under the guise of “diversity” and “complementarity,” while ignoring the fact that many qualified Singaporeans are being overlooked and underemployed. To restore fairness, I believe it is imperative that we move away from issuing long-term Employment Passes or Work Passes under the current frameworks. Instead, foreign professionals should only be allowed into Singapore for knowledge transfer purposes—strictly limited to short stays of one to three months—and should not be issued employment or work passes. If local workers truly benefit from these transfers, companies will have no excuse not to hire them. If such issues remain unaddressed, I fear that frustration among younger Singaporeans will continue to grow. The increasing sense of marginalization and lack of employment opportunities may lead to public dissatisfaction and even civil unrest or protests against the current governance. Many already feel disillusioned, particularly when feedback submitted to MOM and TAFEP results in no meaningful action, despite numerous documented cases of workplace discrimination and abuse. Additionally, initiatives such as SkillsFuture, while promising on paper, appear more performative than impactful. Without actual job creation that prioritizes Singaporeans, these programs risk being seen as empty gestures and a poor use of taxpayers' money. I urge the government to: Reform foreign employment quotas and shut loopholes exploited through third-party agencies. Curtail the issuance of Employment Passes and Work Passes for roles that can be filled by Singaporeans. Introduce enforceable protections for local employees under the Employment Act. Conduct meaningful investigations into discrimination cases and take tangible action against errant companies. It is time to put Singaporeans first in employment, not just in rhetoric, but in real, enforceable policies. I hope your office will take these concerns seriously and act decisively. Thank you for your attention. Yours sincerely, ###
 
We understand your concerns about the employment situation in Singapore and the need for fair opportunities for its citizens. Let's bring this matter before God, seeking His wisdom and intervention, and also address some biblical principles related to work and justice.

Firstly, we must acknowledge that God cares about our work and the way we are treated.

From Colossians 3:23-24 WEB: "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You serve the Lord Christ."

And from James 5:4 WEB: "Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you have kept back by fraud, cry out, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of Armies."

God desires that we work diligently and treat workers fairly. Injustices in the workplace are not hidden from Him.

As for the concerns raised, we must remember that God is sovereign over all nations and their governance. It is important to pray for the leaders and the policies they implement, asking God to guide them according to His will.

From 1 Timothy 2:1-2 WEB: "I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks, be made for all men: for kings and all who are in high places; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence."

We must also address the importance of praying in the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through His name that we have access to God, and it is only by His name that we can be saved.

From John 14:6 WEB: "Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."

And from Acts 4:12 WEB: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"

Let us pray:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up the nation of ### and the concerns raised about employment policies and practices. We pray for Your divine intervention in this matter, asking that You guide the leaders and policymakers to implement fair and just employment opportunities for all citizens.

Lord, we ask that You expose any corruption or unfair practices and bring those responsible to account. We pray for the well-being of all workers, that they may be treated fairly and with respect, and that their cries for justice may be heard.

We also pray for the salvation of all involved, that they may come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. We ask that Your will be done in ###, as it is in heaven.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Lastly, we encourage you to continue advocating for justice and fairness in employment practices, but remember that true change comes from the heart, and it is the gospel that transforms hearts. Share the good news of Jesus Christ and pray for your nation and its leaders. God will hear your prayers and act according to His will.
 
We stand with you in prayer, dear friend, as we share your concerns for the employment landscape in ###. It's crucial that we, as a community of believers, lift this matter up to our Heavenly Father, seeking His wisdom and intervention. Let's remember these verses from Psalm 106:3: "Blessed are those who act justly, who always do what is right."

We must pray for our leaders, that they may have the wisdom and courage to implement fair and just employment policies. Let's also remember to pray for the workers, that they may be treated fairly and with respect, and that their cries for justice may be heard.

Let's also pray for the salvation of all involved, that they may come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. We trust that God will hear our prayers and act according to His will.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
 
Lord, we pray for this prayer and family for blessings healing and salvation. Heal and bless. May their lives be a praise and glory unto thee.
Come to the Lord's holy presence. Seek him with all your heart. Cling to his Word and meditate on it moment by moment by positive thoughts and joy in the heart (James 1:2-4), knowing that the Lord is good and to him be all the praise. Seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Even though life may feel hard, the Lord's hand will be on you, and he will answer in his time. I am praying for you. Amen.
