One of the methods used by multi-national corporations to cut costs in this globalized world is outsourcing.
US telecommunications companies are outsourcing their call centers to India where highly educated Indians sit under banners such as "Microsoft" and "IMB" to answer phone calls about computer problems from thousands of miles away.
Singapore, being quintessentially Singapore, cannot lose out. So we outsource to who? Our telecommunication companies are outsourcing their call centres to............ Changi Women's Prison. I kid you not.
Free labour, no need to pay health benefits, no risk of strikes, a contained and controlled labour force... why not?
