Port of Nuremberg becomes Newport │ Singapore's way of attracting top foreign talents

Introduction: The Global Financial Centers Index (GFCI) compiled by the British think tank Z/Yen and the China Development Research Institute announced its latest ranking yesterday. Hong Kong dropped from third to fourth, while Singapore rose three levels in a row.

"Port of Nuremberg" is the world's three major financial centers. Hong Kong's traditional financial status may not be guaranteed, and it has been chased by the Lion City. Among them, the loss of financial and executive talents in Hong Kong during the epidemic is obvious, and Singapore is also making every effort to attract talents.

When the government realizes the shortage or lack of talents in some aspects, it is important for the government to cultivate domestic talents through various channels while introducing foreign talents.

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said at this year's National Day Rally that talent is critical to the success of the country and Singapore must continue to build a world-class talent pool.

In addition to growing local talent, it is also imperative to attract and retain top international talent.

At the end of August, Minister of Manpower and Second Minister of Trade and Industry Chen Shilong announced several reforms to the employment pass system, one of which was the introduction of the "Top Professional Pass".

Top talent holding this pass can start, run or work for multiple businesses at the same time.

Applicants must have a monthly salary of at least 30,000 yuan or have outstanding achievements in their respective fields.

The government's original intention is to open up a convenient channel for top professionals to work and start businesses in Star through the "Top Professional Pass", and to take an advantageous position in the global talent competition ecosystem.

The introduction of top foreign talents, if done well, can have a huge effect.

While making up for the shortage of local talents, foreign talents also bring their knowledge and experience to the local area, so that local people have the opportunity to learn from masters, and promote the cultivation and growth of local talents.

The advantages of talents will attract more companies to invest and expand locally, which in turn will create more employment opportunities for Chinese people.

If it is not dealt with properly, it will lead to complaints from local people, foreign talents will become hurried passers-by, disappear quickly after a short-lived, and even spread Singapore's notoriety of xenophobia and blind arrogance.

Therefore, there are several aspects to pay attention to when introducing top foreign talents.

First of all, the Singapore government must actively cultivate local talents, and self-sufficiency of talents is also an important manifestation of a country's independence.

If top talents or talents in some key fields are always lacking and can only rely on foreign talents, the development of the country may be controlled by others.

A country may be blocked by other countries due to resources, technology, etc., and the shortage of talents may also be blocked by other countries.

Especially if there is no domestic talent pool, many high-tech talents need to be imported from other countries for a long time, and the development of the country is easily controlled by other countries.

Therefore, when realizing the shortage or lack of talents in certain aspects, the government, while introducing foreign talents, is important to cultivate its own talent team through various channels, such as through local education, or by sending talents to study in other countries, etc. The ultimate solution is to build up the talent echelon of the country.

Second, cultivate the habit of lifelong learning and enthusiasm for learning among local people.

In the context of rapid technological updates and iterations, it is difficult for the skills learned in school to remain obsolete for a lifetime. Therefore, the concept of lifelong learning and the cultivation of learning ability are more important than the acquisition of certain knowledge.

Education should focus on stimulating learning interest and cultivating learning ability, cultivating knowledge and vision, rather than simply instilling knowledge.

In the current exam-oriented education system, many children are prematurely defined their lives under the exam-oriented education of premature diversion.

Whether it is good grades or bad grades, under the examination system that determines the school you go to, everyone loses interest in learning and exploring new knowledge prematurely, and more wants to outperform their peers in the various entrance examinations in front of them. I hope that one exam will be life-long, and that you will never have to study again after the exam.

Third, try to localize top foreign talents as much as possible. After introducing them through various channels, there must be hardware and software to attract them to stay.

This is not only to attract foreign talents to stars by giving them high salaries, but also to have a friendly, livable and family-friendly environment, so that their immediate family members, such as spouses and children, can live in stars smoothly.

If family members can integrate into local life together, the probability of foreign talents being localized, including becoming local permanent residents or even citizens, will be greatly improved.

Due to the low birth rate in Singapore, the population is shrinking. To meet the population replacement needs of local long-term development, it has to introduce foreign talents to become permanent residents and citizens.

These top foreign talents with unique skills, of course, should first be potential targets for us to actively strive to become locals.

Therefore, when introducing top foreign talents, we must have a long-term thinking, try our best to turn them into local talents, and provide various conveniences, so that they will be willing to become locals after they come.

Finally, the local people must have an inclusive and objective attitude, not to attribute all the problems encountered to foreign talents, let alone to exclude xenophobia.

The high income of top foreign talents is not because they steal the jobs of the locals, but they do have the unique top skills of "high-tech special talents". Even if they do not come, the company will not distribute these high salaries to the locals for no reason.

Foreigners and locals are not a zero-sum game, but a relationship of healthy competition and mutual promotion, because they are born in trouble and die in peace.

When there is competitive pressure, people will cherish what they have and work hard, because competition means survival of the fittest.

Without competition or any pressure, it is easy for people to be arrogant and not enterprising, and eventually slowly regress and be eliminated.

The Star Government has strategically introduced top talents, and we hope that top foreign talents can speed up our development and increase efficiency, and the people can welcome them with a warm and inclusive attitude.
