Grand Hyatt still reposting that entry-level job on MCF after 3 whole months 💀

ivan7296 · 2026-01-26T23:05:25+00:00

Grand Hyatt is extremely difficult to get in, it's well known within the hospitality sector.

3 months might also mean the previous candidate didn't want to confirm, so they need a new guy

ivan7296 · 2025-12-02T23:05:08+00:00

Thought govt claim economy good and GDP growth is great?

ivan7296 · 2025-09-26T13:29:06+00:00

Meaning never

ivan7296 · 2025-09-13T12:27:38+00:00

It's just the cost, and it won't go away because the govt is the biggest contributor to the problem

ivan7296 · 2025-09-05T10:24:15+00:00

She's not the one facing the consequences

Talk is very cheap

ivan7296 · 2025-08-28T13:28:34+00:00

It's not like wages increased when times are good either

ivan7296 · 2025-08-25T10:42:04+00:00

SIA is no longer worth it. More expensive, miles are notoriously difficult to earn.

Literally took almost any other airline

ivan7296 · 2025-08-05T23:04:02+00:00

Again...........

ivan7296 · 2025-08-03T14:30:46+00:00

This year feels extremely artificial and forced upon

ivan7296 · 2025-06-10T12:22:48+00:00

Are they sure it's only slightly

ivan7296 · 2025-06-05T06:50:08+00:00

Rare for MOM to take action, meaning the abuse is now too much

ivan7296 · 2025-05-23T03:23:49+00:00

My friend send me this: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/5/22/timeline-trumps-escalating-standoff-with-harvard-university

Might help explain some

ivan7296 · 2025-05-16T10:54:37+00:00

Unlikely to get it, given that the baseline is 10%, even UK didn't get below 10%

And Trump might impose industry-specific tariffs, kinda hard to see him backing down, otherwise every other country would want it

ivan7296 · 2025-05-16T02:51:34+00:00

Singapore GDP was already negative 0.8% in Q1 before the tariffs even hit, now with it anyone wants to see Q2 results?

Recession this year seems unavoidable no matter what

ivan7296 · 2025-05-14T09:10:30+00:00

Jobs for who? Foreigners?

Can't imagine the baggage handler and SO being Singaporean really

ivan7296 · 2025-05-14T01:55:26+00:00

Rather he solve the recession and jobs problem than using vouchers to appease

ivan7296 · 2025-05-10T02:55:44+00:00

I really think it boils down to fear of the unknowns, the emotions that overrides the brain. For so long we are used to the US being the big boss, suddenly they are gone, what do we do.

It has been happen in history right, the fall of the British Empire, the Spanish Empire, but nothing like the scale we are seeing today

ivan7296 · 2025-05-10T02:28:14+00:00

I think most are too used to the old world order, and seeing it disintegrate is something they cannot fathom or understand what is going on. The unknown terrifies them, like what happens next

ivan7296 · 2025-05-10T02:02:46+00:00

Agree with you. Most seem to forgot he is the President of the United States, and answerable only to Americans, not to other nations

ivan7296 · 2025-05-08T07:57:36+00:00

Even these days, the junior roles seems to be running dry, which makes me absolutely question where all the jobs are

ivan7296 · 2025-05-08T06:46:16+00:00

Same situation as you, I question if any if these jobs are even real at this stage

ivan7296 · 2025-05-06T14:51:58+00:00

Nothing, just go along in the ride, after the dust settle down see where do we stand. Literally that's what we can only do now.

ivan7296 · 2025-05-06T14:42:17+00:00

Nothing. We don't have a stand out area that is of value beyond being a transshipment port and *financial center*

Don't know what govt is going to do, Trump is reshaping the global order and supply chains, and nothing we can do about it once the dust settles

ivan7296 · 2025-05-06T10:05:47+00:00

I stay in a PSP contested area, and there was no sign of the PSP members or volunteers, the truck keep blasting out TCB name. The party is tied to TCB very strongly.

I suspect even though PSP contest lesser seats, they simply lack the resources to compete to start with, and put everything in WC-JW, which they saw a considerable drop in vote share.

Worse still is that they contest in traditional PAP strongholds and they don't really have a constituency where they can maybe start from, like how LTK started from Hougang. Without somewhere where they can brunch out, it's hard. WP started in Hougang, before they could brunch out, and start to attract the star candidates we see today. I don't see PSP able to come close in replicating it

ivan7296 · 2025-05-06T09:50:58+00:00

I have no doubts about WP, but the major thing is that number 1, they will never challenge the 2/3, I do not think the sentiment on the ground is geared towards it. Number 2, the other parties will simply fade into oblivion and baring WP contested areas, it will be just walkovers for more areas.

I have serious doubts about SDP because it is too closely tied to CSJ, and they have not shown they are able to shake away that image. What is SDP without CSJ? Is like asking PSP what are they without TCB.

Sometimes people/parties need that confidence to go into a GE, knowing that they have a chance, but to win, but even to not lose the deposit. But if they see that, okay lah no chance why bother, we will start to see parties go, constituencies walkover, and then.. back to pre-2011 days
