Split on right balance of foreign workers


CITIZENS are divided on whether the nation has struck the right balance in bringing in foreign workers and protecting local jobs, with about 40% agreeing, 44% disagreeing and the rest not knowing enough to answer, an online survey shows.

It also found that younger respondents were more likely to agree that Singapore had found the right balance, but this number slid with age.
