Recently it was reported that the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) enforcement officers has caught 2 Indian Nationals on work permit moonlighting as car washers while they were supposed to be employed doing other vocations. This has been ongoing over many years and nobody seemed to be interested to report on these foreign workers moonlighting to earn extra incomes.
What most unemployed Singaporeans want is to get a job paying a decent income, preferably performing similar tasks and not getting paid peanuts.
A reasonable salary would be, say, $2,000 a month, not like most employers that tied up with CDCs, e2I or WDA, hoping to get cheap labors.
A better alternative is to give a one-time help to Singaporeans with viable Business Plans to strike out on their own and should they fail, they should either rejoin the workforce despite being employers' market now or find their own money to start another business.
NOTE: This is my own personal opinion and I'm not a member of any political party in Singapore.
