subsidise salary for above 40s PMEs, companies also not very willing to hire?!!

how come no advertisement about this scheme? What TRI-partite?

Only year-end Christmas Parties to celebrate bonuses! No jobs for unemployed!?!?

    Trim down the Caliberlink, E2i, WDA staff, since they cannot help to find jobs for unemployed Singaporeans next year!
    
    So many staff to organise talks after talks, seminars, buffets for wat? talk and eat end up no job opportunities one!
    
    those unemployed PMEs still jobless!

MOM should tackle why Enterprises are not employing mature PMETs (even though they are facing manpower shortage) - by studying the psychological angle.

Why Enterprises engage younger PMETs and foreigners but not mature Singaporean PMETs?

The reasons and root causes must be established.

Upon establishing the root causes can surgical and targeted policies (mature PMETs manpower plan) be implemented to resolve the employment problem faced by the mature PMETs.

Tie up with Enterprises for placement and sustain employment can then be made after genuinely addressing the Enterprises concern.

Else there is no way to adequately resolved the mature PMETs job problem.

The priority of MOM don't seems to be in resolving mature PMETs yet.

It seems like the priority is focus on the retail sector - for manpower.

The worst thing, there is no relief or assistance to help the mature PMETs to tie over the period who is unable to find job.
