The Singapore-India Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA) does not grant Indian nationals unconditional access into Singapore or immigration privileges, said Trade and Industry Minister Chan Chun Sing said on Saturday (9 Nov).
Mr Chan said that the claims that bilateral agreement has cost job opportunities for Singaporeans only aimed to stoke fears in times of economic uncertainties.
These claims included a belief that CECA has allowed Indian nationals to take PMET (professional, managerial, executive and technician) jobs away from Singaporeans.
The claims surfaced after Ramesh Erramalli, an Indian national, was recorded verbally abusing a security guard at his condominium.
