24. I cannot accept what Source E says about the policy talent as it is not reliable in
what it says about the policy. In Source E, the Chairman of the Feedback Group
on Foreign Talent is trying to convince Singaporeans that foreign talents are
crucial to Singapore’s economy. This is because the source states that the
government’s policy of bringing in foreign talent as appropriate if Singapore is to
remain competitive”. This means that the foreign talent policy is important in
helping Singapore’s economy. This source was an interview published in 2001,
during an economic downturn. Thus, the Chairman of the Feedback Group is
trying to garner the support of Singaporeans to continue to support the foreign
talent scheme and not blame foreign talents if they lose their jobs in the downturn.
Therefore, this source is not reliable as the Chairman of the Feedback Group on
Foreign Talent is bias for the foreign talent policy to achieve his purpose. Also, as
this group is set up by the Singapore government, it is likely to be pro-government.
The Chairman was also a former British subject, which means he benefitted from
the foreign talent scheme to come to Singapore. As such, he would be bias for
government policies, especially the foreign talent policy. As such, I cannot accept
what Source E says about the policy of using foreign talent.
